Spilled red wine on your carpet? No need to panic. This reliable, time-tested trick using everyday shaving foam effectively lifts stains, whether fresh or set in.

1. Apply shaving foam directly to the red wine stain.
2. Spread the foam evenly with the back of a spoon for deep penetration.
3. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
4. Wipe away the foam using a clean cloth soaked in warm water. Rub gently if necessary.
5. Blot the area with a dry towel to absorb moisture.
6. Allow the carpet to air dry completely.
Your carpet is restored! Shaving foam absorbs and releases the wine pigments. For stubborn stains, repeat the process. This method works reliably on both fresh spills and dried stains, drawing from proven household cleaning practices.
