How to Remove a Red Wine Stain From a Laminate Countertop

When you spill red wine on your laminate countertop, wipe it up immediately to avoid staining. Unfortunately, even when you catch the spill right after it happens, the red liquid can leave behind a stain, especially on older laminate countertops. When this happens, a little extra cleaning and perhaps a special cleaner might remove the spot.
