There's no combination more disastrous than a glass of red wine and white carpet. But accidental spills no longer have to be something to stress over, thanks to innovations in the carpet cleaning space, and this $7 cleaning spray is what everyone on the internet can't stop raving about: Folex Carpet Spot Cleaner ($7).

Boasting a whopping 51,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, Folex Carpet Cleaner is a game-changer when it comes to red wine stains. The water-based formula lifts tough and hard-to-get grime (including old spots and even pet accidents) from the carpet, and erases them in seconds. It also works to remove grease, ink, coffee, makeup, rust, and dirt.

What's great about the formulation is that it's odorless, free of petroleum and solvent to prevent damage to your household goods, and is safe to use around children and pets. It's formulated with surfactants to gently break down particles (like spills, pet messes, etc.) without being a toxic hazard to anyone who comes in contact with it. It also doesn't damage the material, since the formula isn't harsh, like bleach can be. What's nice is that it's no-rinse, so you don't have to go over the stain with water.

One TikToker, who accidentally spilled red wine on her white wool rug after tussling with her son, said, "Seriously, watch it disappear as I spray it." After a couple of squirts of Folex, the discoloration was gone. Packaged in a spray bottle, the spot cleaner is easy to use and works on carpet, upholstery, and outdoor fabric. Spray and poof, the stains are gone!

The positive reviews transcend TikTok and can be found in the review section of Amazon. One Amazon customer wrote: "My husband drinks extremely strong coffee, and he spilled some on light colored carpet. We tried other carpet cleaners, and they didn't get it all off. I had nothing to lose so I thought I'd spray some of the Folex on the stain, and it took it all off! I am impressed, and I will be purchasing more. My carpet is Mohawk, if that makes a difference. I did spray it on and then took a damp cloth and rubbed it around. I always lay paper towels on top of the sprayed are and step on it. I let it sit for half a day or longer. I remove the paper towel and the stain is gone." 

Other shoppers raved about the quick results the spray delivered. "I had two or three spots that needed this used more than once to get full effect, but most spots come clean immediately! Love this stuff! Better than any other carpet cleaners I’ve ever bought by a long shot." 

Folex Carpet Spot Cleaner forgives clumsy mistakes by removing tough stains from clothing and furniture. For just $7, you'll want it in your supply cabinet stat.

But wait, there's more!
