What to Do When You Spill Wine on the Sofa

What is the problem?

Rubbing or trying to 'wipe it away fast' only pushes the pigment deeper into the fibres.

The solution

Blot dry → cool water in dabs → rental (15 €/day) or a service.

How does it work?

1. Blot with a clean cloth or towel from the edges toward the centre — don't rub.
2. Change layers until most of the liquid is absorbed.
3. Dab a small amount of cool water onto the stain, then blot dry again.
4. Avoid hot water, bleach or nail polish remover.
5. Decide: Puzzi 10/1 rental (15 €/day) or a cleaning service — call 062 110 999.

What not to do

Each of these adds to the work later instead of reducing it.

• Scrub with a brush to make it 'come out faster'
• Pour boiling water on it
• Use bleach on coloured fabric
• Sit on the damp spot

When to rent Puzzi, when to call a service

Fresh stain, fabric sofa, you have time and want to do it yourself — go for the Puzzi 10/1 rental (15 €/day or 25 €). Pick up at Šumsko g. 308, Vilnius or order delivery from 12 €.

If the sofa is light-coloured, expensive, leather, or the stain is already large — it's better to call a cleaning service right away rather than risk a first attempt.

Practical tips

• Blot, don't rub.
• No heat and no bleach.
• Judge the result only on a dry sofa.
