Mum gets rid of huge red wine stain with £10 Body Shop cleansing butter

When it comes to stains on the carpet, red wine it pretty much top of the list when it comes to disaster levels.

No matter how hard you scrub, you normally just have to accept that your lovely carpet will always offer a permanent reminder of that Saturday night (or Monday afternoon, we're not judging).

But one mum has come up with a genius hack  to get rid of the stains for good - and it involves a very unexpected item.

Posting in the popular cleaning Facebook group Mrs Hinch Made Me Do it, the woman claims The Body Shop's gentle Camomile Cleansing Butter made the stain disappear.

She says the huge stain covered a large part of her floor, reports the Sun .

But after applying the cream and leaving for a few minutes it looked good as new.

She wrote: "Removes wine. Removes makeup. I'm sold!"
