 Can't believe it worked! June 15, 2008
Mr. Craig R. Simmons (Nottingham)
I've never written a review of anything on Amazon before, be it good, bad or indifferent, but I felt I had to re: this product.
We bought a light beige fabric settee from friends, replete with red wine stain on the top, and side of one arm. A good two inches in diameter, trickling down pretty much the whole side of the settee. The plan was to get someone in to chemically clean the pair of settees, and remove the stain at the same time.....that was until I was quoted 176 plus vat!!! I soon began searching for a cheaper solution. I was concerned that the stain itself had been there for months, it was actually hard, almost like a fabric burn mark.
I decided to buy this product and give it a try. If it didn't work, well, I'd lost a few quid, but IF it did work, I'd save nearly 200 quid. It was worth the risk. It arrived a few days later, courtisy of Amazon, and I did as instructed, soaking the affected area, left it for a few mins, during which I became even more sceptical as no wine coloured emissions seemed to be drawn out of the settee, then, convinced it wouldn't work, wiped the affected area with a cloth.
Amazingly almost 90% of the stain dissapeared - still unconvinced, I waited for the settee to dry as I felt it would inevitably leave the stain behind, but it didn't, it had pretty much gone, and a second application to the area I had not probably covered entirely the first time around, and it was totally gone. So, as you can tell by now, I'm very happy! It seems to be chemical free, so doesn't bleach anything, something I was worried about on the type of fabric I was using it on, and it smells really fresh and zesty - money very well spent.
 Great product - let down (slightly) by feeble spray January 25, 2008
N. Wright (Leics, UK)
This stuff really does shift even dried in red wine stains from (in my case) carpet - a whole glassful tipped over a beige carpet in my newly rented flat. "Don't worry," said a friend, "just use Wine Away on it. And don't try and clean it with anything else beforehand"
So I ordered some from Amazon and two days after the spill started to clean it.
The deep purple stain literally disappeared before my eyes.
The pump action spray was however a bit of a let down. I had a large area to "saturate" (according to the instructions) and the spray only delivered a miniscule amount at a time and often none at all. More was dripping from my fingers that spraying onto the carpet.
Against the advice on such containers, I thoroughly cleaned a trigger action household spray bottle and poured the Wine Away into that - bingo! Effortless coverage, instant results. What I feared would be either an insurance claim, a loss of my deposit or buying a new carpet cost me just a few quid.
I have now ordered two bottles to keep in case of further emergencies (the stain took the entire 360ml bottle to eradicate) but will keep my trigger spray bottle handy in case I need to tackle another biggie.
The main lesson though is not to put full glasses of red wine down on the floor...
