Vino 911 Red Wine Stain Remover

The glass goes over, and for about sixty seconds you can still save the tablecloth.

Vino 911 starts working on contact. It is made specifically for red wine — not a general-purpose cleaner that happens to be pointed at it — and it is all-natural, which matters when the spill is on something you eat off.

• For clothing, linens, carpets, upholstery and other washable fabrics
• All-natural formula
• Begins working on contact — the sooner it is on, the better it works

Restaurants and tasting rooms keep it behind the bar for a reason. At home it belongs wherever you actually open the wine, not in a cupboard upstairs — the whole product is about the first minute.

A sensible thing to slip in with a bottle as a gift, particularly for a new house with pale carpets.
