How do i remove red wine stain from wooden table?

I have a solid beech dining table. It isn't polished, we just use teak oil on it (not as often as we should) and a friend spilt a glass of red wine on it a couple of days ago. We tried to mop it up, but its left a stain where some of it soaked into the wood.





Any suggestions for how we can get rid of the stain?|||Although it is not recommended for wood because it is porous, I would use 50% water and 50% Stain Rx (www.StainRx.com) the following way: 1. Use a sponge or rag to apply and immediately wipe off then rinse with water. My nephew did this on a white wooden table with a wine stain. READ THE FOLLOWING:Stain Rx is the best stain remover out there. I have been using it on red wine stains since 1969. Just touch it to red wine, iodine, berries (INCLUDING POMEGRANATE), fruit punch, cranberry juice, and the stains disappear in a second. Stains such as mascara, lipstick, blood, balsamic vinegar, vanilla extract and others come out with a little massaging and rinsing. Soak your diamond, gold and platinum jewelry in it for 20 minutes to overnight, you won’t believe it!


By the way, the University of California – Davis did a study on red wine stain removal and the #1, ready to use winner was Stain Rx (a.k.a. Erado-Sol). It killed Wine Away which is available everywhere. Go to www.StainRx.com to see what else it does.


As far as carpeting and upholstery:


I use Stain Rx on carpeting and upholstery all the time and have the method down.


First, I vacuum the entire carpet or piece of upholstery being treated. Then I clean the entire carpet or upholstery with my Hoover Steam-Vac, a carpet shampooer is at least as good, plus, I ONLY use warm water - no detergent at all. The Hoover sprays in water and vacuums it out. For the carpet I use the Steam-Vac and on upholstery I use the Steam-Vac attachments to do this. While the carpet or upholstery is still wet from this step, do the following;


Depending on the size of the stain, put a “dot” of Stain Rx on your fingertip and rub out one stain at a time. After treating a stain, remove all of the soapy residue from that area using the instructions below and go on to the next stain.


HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: You have to remove all of the soapy residue using the attachments from the Steam-Vac, carpet shampooer or a wet/dry shop vacuum. RINSE OUT ALL OF THE SOAPY RESIDUE USING WATER AND THE VACUUM. If you leave Stain Rx in the area, dust will stick forming a gray spot in a few weeks. If this happens, just add water and remove all of the soapy residue.


Let dry and marvel at the job you did.|||It is one thiing to remove a stain from a permeable fabric - that is where water can move in, collect the staining material, and move out. It is another affair to remove a stain from a solid.





To remove a stain from wood the typical action is to sand off the surface of the wood that has been stained. If you do not wish to do that then the alternative would be to stain the rest of the wood to match.





Someone else may have a better idea. I have never actually dealt with this problem.|||dont know
