Red wine stain
In a similar way start with blotting up and then use white wine vinegar and water mixture and try to soak the stain on the carpet.

Other colored drinks
You may follow the similar steps as above and use any specialist dye remover instead.

Coffee
Use the same method and use white vinegar and change your cloth very frequently so that coffee may not get reintroduced.
-
Ink
For ink stains, use isopropyl alcohol. You must apply this to your cloth first and then use that cloth to blot gently the stain.
-
Animal urine
Use baking soda to absorb the liquid, and neutralize the acid to mask any unpleasant odor too. Blot up all excess liquid, by applying baking soda and leave for fifteen minutes and then vacuum up.
-
Other bodily fluids
Again, you can use baking soda to absorb and neutralize unpleasant odors.
-
Cooking oil
You have to use an enzyme-based cleaner for removing oil and possibly hot water or steam extraction process too.
-
Nail polish
You can take any solvent that removes nail polish and rinse it on the affected area. Often this needs a bit of skill and expertize to remove the entire stain and you may seek the help of any professional or an experienced person.
