How to clean up a spill before it becomes a stain?

Having your friends over for dinner, enjoying a glass of wine with your significant other, or even giving your child juice can all lead to messy spills but if you aren’t careful they can lead to stains. Before you get to work on preventing that spill from turning into a stain, start by scraping away any spilled material- do not run in or spread the mess. Finally, blot with paper towels and water before moving to other remedies.

Red Wine- Red wine can be the most common and damaging stain to your carpet or table clothes. If you spill, blot the area with clean towels and apply a home remedy of white vinegar followed by water.

Candle Drippings- Scrape up the drippings; lay down paper towels and run and iron set to low heat over the area.

Berry Juice- Blot the area with 2/3 cup of rubbing alcohol and one tablespoon of white vinegar. Apply that three to four times with a clean cloth then rinse with cold water.

Makeup and Nail Polish- Carefully scrape off the excess with a blunt edge like a knife or spoon, apply a little rubbing alcohol or non-acetone-based nail polish remover to the stain and blot with a clean cotton swab. Rinse with warm water.
