Is using white wine the best way to treat red wine spills? It seems a rather extravagant solution?

This is one of the biggest home cleaning myths there is! Pouring white wine over red is merely a waste of a decent bottle of chardonnay. Simple use a little water instead, but blot it up as soon as possible. Repeat several times until no more red wine comes out. Treat any remaining stain with a WoolSafe Approved Spot Remover.
