Removing Stains From Your Mattress and Other Furniture

First, check your manufacturer's warranty to see what it's 'stain policy' is. In some cases, it does in fact cover stain removal if the warranty has not expired yet. In either case, the stain will need to be attended to immediately. There are many different suggestions for removing stains from a mattress of any piece of upholstery, so results may vary.

Wine

There are several ways to help lift wine stains, one being the classic technique:
Cover the stain with table salt
Allow it to sit for a day,
Vacuum it up.

But if you would like some other options here are a couple more:
Quickly absorb the liquid causing the stain.
Distribute talcum powder over the surface of the stain.
Let the powder sit on the stain for about 30 minutes or until stain is absorbed.
Vacuum up the powder.

If this does not work then:
Spray white vinegar over the surface of the stain
Blot the stain with paper towels or dry white towels

If the stain is old and has already dried, then it will require special commercial upholstery cleaners at your local cleaning product retail store, Folex (some swear by this! Purchased as stores such as Wal-Mart), enzyme cleaner, upholstery cleaners, or professional cleaning service.
