Red wine on a sofa: what to do first
Treat a fresh red-wine spill cautiously. The upholstery material determines whether water or any cleaning product is appropriate.
Absorb liquid without rubbing
Gently absorb free liquid with a clean, absorbent white cloth. Avoid strong pressure and do not rub the stain into the fabric. Check the care label before doing more. Unknown, delicate or water-sensitive upholstery needs professional assessment.
Household remedies are not universal
Salt, vinegar, harsh cleaners and soaking can leave residue, rings or damage. Do not combine different products. A removable cover is not necessarily machine washable. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
Prepare useful information
Note when the spill happened, the fabric type and any products already used. Photograph the stain and care label. We assess an appropriate treatment; complete removal cannot be guaranteed without an assessment, and older or previously treated stains may remain.
Related services and practical guides
Is the stain fresh or already treated?
Record when the wine was spilled and whether water, salt, soap or a stain product has already been used. These details affect further assessment. With fresh liquid, carefully absorb it using a clean absorbent cloth without spreading it over a larger area. If the care label is unclear, do not start an additional wet treatment on guesswork.
Know when to stop treatment
Stop if the upholstery visibly fades, its own dye starts to transfer, rings appear or the texture changes. Trying several household products in succession complicates assessment and may obscure material reactions. Photograph the stain and care label and disclose every previous treatment when enquiring. Even professional cleaning cannot promise complete removal for every fabric and older stain.
