You get that sense that it will never be the same again. Don't lose heart, there may still be hope to get rid of that stain completely.

The first and best step is prevention. If you can protect from stains before they happen, you're way ahead of the game. For example, if you're buying a new couch, you will probably have the option to have the couch treated with Teflon stain protection. My wife and I recently got a couch, and the store treated the couch for a small price. We considered it a good investment to protect our wonderful new couch from potential stain disasters.

Of course, you can't protect everything. In cases where you spill some staining substance on unprotected , the is to act quickly. Take care of the stain as soon as possible, so that is doesn't have a chance to set in. The longer you wait, the worse your chances are.

The next key point is to use a and follow the directions exactly as they are written. Also, make sure that your stain remover is not going to ruin your fabric. That would defeat the purpose of removing the stain.

When you are using the stain remover, put the fabric on a towel to soak up the stain, and apply the stain remover at the back. If you apply at the front, it may actually push the stain further into the fabric. The idea is to move the stain out of the fabric, and clear as much as you can with the towel.

Also keep in mind that using to remove a stain may cause uneven color removal. If your garment is colored, make sure you are using the right kind of bleach.

If at first you don't succeed, you can try multiple rounds of stain removal. It may take patience, but often you can see results with multiple applications. Again, be sure to follow the directions exactly as you do this. You may need to be patient and wait for the stain remover to do its work.

The first thing to do (aside from not ) when cleaning red is to remove the excess spillage. If the wine has been spilled on a couch or take an absorbent cloth (something you don't mind being stained) or paper towel and blot the excess wine, do not rub in any way! The point of blotting it to remove the wine without working it further into the fabric. If it was a piece of clothing that has been spilled on, remove the article and blot in the same manner.

Once the excess wine has been removed it is very important to rinse the carpet, furniture or clothing to dilute the wine before it has a chance to set in. The best method for this is going to vary on what exactly where the spill is. For clothing or other items that are easily removed, pour cold water from the backside. For items such as carpets and sofas pouring water directly onto the stain and blotting with an absorbent cloth immediately works best.

There is a good chance that this will not take the stain out completely. Carpet and very well may need to be used. In the past I have had much success with Resolve cleaners for carpets, and for laundry there are many stain removers that should be helpful. A little trick my mother taught me which works wonders is . I know some of you may be thinking to yourself that you always thought Lestoil was a floor cleaner, but when diluted with water and used as a soaking agent it works wonders on lots of stains including grease (when mixed with hot water) and wine (when mixed with cold water).

Of course even with all your best efforts there is always the chance that the red wine is going to be so stubborn that you need to call in the professionals. Carpets and furniture sometimes are dry clean only but it is still best to remove as much of the stain as possible while it is still wet because this will make it easier for the professionals to remove the remnants.

The key to ensuring effective stain removal is time. Do not let a stain sit for days or weeks before deciding to try to remove it and don't wait a week before ringing a carpet cleaner because by then it might just be too late and the stain is now a permanent fixture. The same goes for clothing, don't wait to wash your shirt or pants. I once watched a friend take a shirt out of the washing machine become horrified at the fact that the red wine didn't come out of her top. When I asked her when she spilled on herself, she told me that it was from a week before. No wonder the stain didn't come out!

In the end there is always going to be the possibility that the stain has decided that it never wants to come out or it will not come out completely. Taking the proper steps the moment a spill occurs can greatly reduce the chance of a permanent stain. There is no easy way to prevent spills and stains, aside from slipcovers or not serving red wine at social events, so when a spill does happen remember to stay calm, work quickly and to blot.

It seems like as soon as you get something new. it will get stained. The same is true of your new carpet. You are usually extra careful when the carpet is brand new. but that won't stop the stains from being attracted to it. . you can get rid of stains on carpets. if only you find the right way. The two main options are to try to take care of it yourself. or hire a professional to get rid of the stains.

If you have a small stain on your carpet. it is probably not worth while to hire a professional to clean it up. A small stain can usually be removed using materials you may already have. It can be easy or difficult to lift these small stains: it will depend upon how large the stain is. and how long it has been sitting. A small. fresh stain will usually be relatively easy to get rid of. A large stain that you were not able to get to right away may take a longer time to treat. The very first thing you have to do if you want to make stain removal easier. is to blot as much of the stain up with plain white s. Blotting is the best way to go. because excess rubbing will damage the fiber. and this may make the stains set better into the broken fiber.

The most common household items used or are dishwashing liquid. dilluted household ammonia. hydrogen peroxide. and white vineger. Of course. there are also commercial products expressly developed for cleaning carpets.

To get rid of a stain. you will need one of the above cleaning solutions. plus: . a spray bottle and a brick. The brick is to keep the paper towel in place as you are using it to blot the stain. For . blot the stain first with the paper towel. Putting a little on the towel will help lift the grease. But you cannot use a lot of alcohol; you do not want it to soak into the carpet. For stains that have not set too deeply. rub gently in one direction.

If a stain is a water based spill. just using a wet vacuum immediately may get rid of the problem quickly. If. however. the stain has been sitting for a while. you may have to moisturize the stain with a little water to help with removal. Remember. a little water; we don't want the rug saturated. Let the water sit and use the blotting technique as usual. Use dishwashing detergent to gently lift the stain. If the stain remains. spray with water and remove the solution just used and start with something stronger. Put something like hydrogen peroxide on the towel and blot with that. Keep trying until the stain is gone.

This is a time consuming process that you have to work at. but if you want to save money. it is worth the effort. Professional carpet cleaners can be expensive. especially if they work by the hour. and part of that time is just waiting for the cleaning method to take effect.

Don't Panic, It Can be Done

If in fact, one of your belongings gets stained, there are very easy ways to get them out without compromising the fabric. As long as you care for your merino the way the manufacturers recommend, getting rid of stains may be easier than it would be if it was made of any other fabric. Taking care of your merino wool will ensure that your initial investment of a few dollars can take care of you and your family for many years to come.

• Blood - Whether it comes from a new tooth or it comes from a meeting between head and hard surfaces, blood may be one of the most difficult stains to remove. When you are dealing with merino wool, you can remove the stain quickly and easily. Work your way from the outside to the inside and blot gently. You want to keep the stain from spreading any further, so do not rub the stain. Use a soft, that is dampened with cold water to work the stain.

• Burns - If one of your guests inadvertently burns or scorches your merino wool upholstery or rug, the first is to brush the ashes, burn or with a soft brush before you begin to try and clean it. Once you have removed the offending material, gently soak a piece of material in peroxide and water and gently dab the affected area. Remember not to rub, as this may spread the stain further.

• Butter and Oils - If you drop anything on your wool that is oil based, the first thing you should do is to scoop as much of the offending off as possible. These stain producers may be ice cream, salad dressing, butter, or any oils used for cooking.

• - This can be the one stain that most people fear. Red wine can stain quickly and easily. When you have a merino wool product that has been splashed with red wine, you should immediately blot the stain and cover with a substance that is absorbent such as talcum powder or salt. Leave it to absorb overnight, and then vacuum the next day.

Time is of The Essence

The highest success rates of removing stains from merino wool as with any fabric is speed. It is said that if you treat 9 out of 10 spots immediately and with the proper cleaning methods, you can remove them without anyone ever knowing they were there. If you have fine merino wool products in your closet and the rest of your home as well, keeping an emergency kit for unexpected stains can go a long way in enjoying your belongings for a long time to come.Brenda Reese writes for a pashmina company and is based in Tokyo.]]>
