Put Your Stale Wine to Work

I haven't tried this yet, but apparently you can use vinegar to clean just about anything. And it's better for the environment than bleach or other toxic cleaning supplies (which usually contain bleach, among other chemicals). But I imagine cleaning with vinegar and baking soda alone will also require extra elbow grease, so please do not try this at home if you are a class A weakling.

With vinegar as a cleaning solution, I believe you should be using white vinegar.

Amazing carpet cleaner:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Work into stain with scrubbing brush (dish sponge works too). Blot dry. Sprinkle baking soda over stain (do not go over board!) Pour mixture of 1/2 cup Hydrogen Peroxide with a tsp of dish detergent over baking soda. Work in, blot dry. Let dry completely then vacuum.
