Kitchen? (looks it up in Oxford English Dictionary.)

Ok - now that's a step in the right direction. Don't forget, when that's finished there's always the rest of the bottle. By six o'clock you won't even be able to find the stain. Problem solved.

If she does it might be doubled or even tripled. That's all depending on how good the wine is.

Soft Scrub with bleach works very well. Any grocery store should have it.

Really? I use it on mine all the time. Of course, I'm too lazy to really bear down and scrub the heck out of it though.

Magic Erasors are good too (also bleach).

I swear by bleach...if it doesn't move it gets bleached in my house. Can't tell you how many clothes I ruined.
