Since I was born in Macon, I thought you might take time out and give good advice to hometown girl! I have a much beloved, antique Moroccan, cream with black “lattice” design, about 6′ x 8′. A clumsy, red-wine-drinking guest made no mention of the spill, which was dry by the time it was found. Another guest poured an acidic white wine on it, and by golly, it almost removed the stain. A pink hint remains. I’d like to get it all out, and also be sure all the wine is removed. Any ideas? Hello to all the Bibb County folks!
Hey Miriam, if the acid approach had some success then I would suggest staying on that side of the ph scale. Try white vinegar or a reducer but be careful, I would be very surprised if you don’t have other colors moving along with the wine! Moroccan rugs can bleed if you sneeze on them! Even professional cleaners in your area would be extremely cautious around a Moroccan rug. Another approach would be club soda and yet another approach would be to oxidize it with 3% Hydrogen peroxide (but that probably won’t work). You are almost certain to create lateral damage when you introduce more moisture. Keep white terry towels nearby and once you are done stack them underneath and on top of the rug so the stain and any fugitive dyes move up and down into the towels rather than sideways in the rug.
Did you see the post I put up 3 days ago about a couple of Moroccan rugs we had come into the shop?
