My Story

The Party Started...But Without you!

Ever wonder what happens in your home while you're away? I bet you'd never expect a party to start without you. Recently, while checking on a new customer's home for the very first time, I stumbled upon a mess in the kitchen. My first impression was that maybe they left in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up.

After looking more closely at the red colored stickiness, I noticed it extended beyond the kitchen floor to include the wall, table and even the fabric covered seats. I had no idea what could have caused the mess, but after a quick inspection, I discovered the culprit.

As it turned out, one of the bottles of wine (second from the right in the picture above) continued to ferment and "popped its cork". I learned from a wine importer that while very high temperatures can trigger this event, when wine is not properly stabilized during the production process, popping corks from continued fermentation can also be an issue - even in a climate controlled environment such as your home.

The good news was that Aloha Home Watch Services was there to discover it and quickly clean it up before it attracted insects or left permanent staining on the walls and furniture.

Have you ever ruined clothing due to wine stains?
Here is a cleaning tip from a wine importer:

Fels Naptha Laundry Soap, is a yellow bar of soap found in most grocery and hardware stores. It is a great pre-laundry cleaner used to remove many stains including wine. Just scrub the stain lightly with this soap and water and watch the stain turn a bright blue. Throw it into the wash and like magic, the stain disappears. No need to ever fear wine stains again.
