Spilled some red wine on my hardwood floor and it's just not coming off. I tried vinegar, baking soda paste... nothing! is it time to throw in the towel and call in a pro??

In my day, when we spilled red wine, we'd just pour white wine over it and let it soak up the red. Sounds crazy, I know, but sometimes it actually lightened the stain! Nowadays, though, people want quick fixes. Sand it, refinish it, and be done with it, they say.

Hey there! I avoid chemicals so I'm always looking for natural solutions. You could try making a paste with unbleached flour and hydrogen peroxide. Spread it over the stain and cover with plastic for a day or so. It's kind of like a gentle, natural bleach. Worked for me with a pesky pet stain! Good luck!

Professional floor guy here. Red wine is tough, not gonna sugarcoat it. Your floor likely needs a sand and refinish job to completely get rid of that stain. If the floor is sealed and the stain isn’t too deep, sometimes a chemical refinisher does the trick without full-on sanding. It melts the top layer of finish and takes some stains with it when you wipe it off. But honestly, call in a pro. DIY solutions might just damage the floor more if you’re not careful.

So you gotta act fast with red wine stains, but looks like that ship has sailed. You might still have a chance with an oxalic acid wood bleach, it's pretty good for tough stains. But honestly, you'll prob need to sand the area down and refinish it if you want it totally gone.
