Hey Glen, you're not getting all the wine out. Try a Spot-Claw.

Some of the staining material is still at the base of the carpet or perhaps in the backing or pad. As the carpet dries, this is pulled to the surface by wicking or capillary action. Thus the spot returns.

Flush it out thoroughly using a Water Claw spot remover tool. Extract as dry as possible, maybe even put an air mover on it. Remove any remaining color with an oxidizer such as Stain Zone. Stain Magic will also work. Use fresh product.

Glen,

In Addition to all of the fine comments, you could also put an absorbent towel over the stained area and allow the last remaining residue to wick up into the towel. Be sure to put a weight over it and allow it to sit on the area until dry or overnight. Old towels work best, not new ones.

This works very well, if it is due to wicking.

There's very little profit for Scott in towels, and I don't think they sell weights.

If they do, Scott doesn't know how to use them.

Would you flush it out using a water claw with just plain water or an Encap or OSR type of product?

I had a huge area of red wine that sat for a while. I water clawed the whole thing and when it was dry(i cleaned other rooms) I came back and hosted the sucker... Bye bye
