Answer 1

u are supposed to rub the bicarbonate of soda in then hoover it up.

Also try rubbing in white wine, it does work or soda water also works (and is a bit cheaper than white wine)

Answer 3

what I know that works is Carpet stain remover from a diy store, or buy from a carpet retailer. The solvent based ones are the best. Please read the directions on the back of the tin with the solvent based ones. They can damage the carpet if applied incorrectly, so its a light dabbing motion, as I say read the back of the tin. It might not remove the stain 100%, but it will be 100 times better than it is now, it will take a good eye to notice it after the clean. My girlfriend dropped a glass of red a month ago and I used it, removing 98% of the stain on a white carpet, with your dark beige carpet it should remove it completely, if its a good quality carpet, even better. It definately works but if you've got a bit of the old carpet to apply the solvent it would be best, because no colour dye diffusion will occur, or alternativly use a clean dry white cloth.

You don't need bicarbonate of soda just pour white wine over it, I'm serious all you need to do is rub in white wine then rub it with a cloth and it should all come out.
