Dreaming of a White Christmas Part I

Hello from chilly Minnesota. This past weekend, the Twin Cities was doused with 15-20 some inches of snow and negative temperatures. What can I say? -- It is The Holiday Season...and chances are, you're probably hosting a party or two. With that, inevitably comes spills and stains. I'd like to share a couple stain removal/treatments with you! Here is installment #1:

RED WINE 
A. On Clothing/Washable Fabric
Pour or sponge club soda on the stain, and blot with a clean cloth. Launder as usual and check the stain before drying. If color from the stain still remains, sponge 1 cup of vinegar, 1 tbsp dish liquid and 1/2 cup of water. Let set for 15 minutes before laundering again.
B. On linen
Place the stained item in a cooking pot and cover it with milk. Heat the milk to a boil then take the pot off the burner. Let it set until the stain is gone.
C. On Carpet
Dilute the spill with white wine, then flush it with cold water before covering the stain with salt. Let it set for 10 minutes before vacuuming up the salt.
