"Buy a rug "

It's probably too late now but I've seen a guy pour a jug full of water on to the spot & then just dab it up with a large towel, & it actually worked, - not a red spot in sight, just a very wet carpet!!

But it has to be done instantly!

Did you buy it yourself, and do you know where from?

We bought our first proper carpet for us recently, and most modern carpets can be bleached apparently, (if all else fails) but you'd need to check suppliers first, and still test it on an inconspicuous area first.

Salt can bleach the carpet. Worth a try using some dishwasher detergent and a little vinegar

I thought salt would fix stains into the carpet. Vanish upholstery foam is very good.

Gillette shaving gel, the Orange can one. It's surprisingly useful for removing stains on carpets,

We use it to remove black boot polish from military carpets, works a treat, although I would try it somewhere inconspicuous first as the gel is blue but turns white when you rub it in with a damp cloth

worth a try and relatively inexpensive, it removes boot polish so can't see it not working??

White wine is good for removing red wine stains.

It also works the other way round if you spill white wine, just put red on it.

The same theory also works for coloured cheeses.

White vinegar and a scrubbing brush is good, using the minimum of force and from all directions. Might need to do it a few times but it does work.

This! The white wine works very well. Had this problem twice recently

Salt too.

I've also been informed soda will do the job

Suck it up with a straw or smear some honey onto a hedgehog. Their spines act like a Brillo Pad and it's a scientific fact that honey dissolves red wine. Afterwards, take the hedgehog for a drink. They love Southern Comfort.
