How do you remove red wine stains from glass carafe?

To remove red wine stains from a glass carafe, follow these steps:

Materials:

- Baking soda

- Vinegar

- Hot water

- Dish soap

- Sponge

Steps:

1. Pre-treat the stain. As soon as possible, sprinkle baking soda on the stain to absorb any excess wine. Leave it on for about 15 minutes.

2. Create a cleaning solution. Fill the carafe with 1/4 cup of hot water, 1/4 cup of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of dish soap.

3. Soak the carafe. Place the carafe in the hot liquid and let it soak for at least 2 hours. For older stains, let it soak overnight.

4. Scrub the stain. Remove the carafe from the solution and scrub the stain gently with a sponge.

5. Rinse the carafe. Rinse the carafe thoroughly with warm water to remove any leftover cleaning solution.

6. Repeat if necessary. If the stain persists, repeat steps 2-5 until the stain is completely removed.

_Additional tips:_

- Always test a cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the carafe before using it on the entire surface.

- Never use abrasive cleaners, scourers, or steel wool, as these may damage the glass.
