How can I remove a pink stain on my carpet?

My cat ate some catfood that apparently had lots of red dye added. He threw up on my light-colored carpet and it left a pink stain. I have tried everything I can think of to get the stain out but nothing seems to work, including those carpet cleaners in the store that promise to instantly remove any stain. Does anyone have a suggestion for something else I can try?

    Oxy Clean – That stuff works wonders. Mix as directed then pour some on the stain and let it soak for 5 min. Add a little more and scrub gently. Dab dry. You may need to repeat a few times.

    Try using normal washing powder (1 part powder 2 parts hot water) and scrub with a scrubbing brush. I’ve got 5 children and two cats and this solution always gets rid of any stains on my carpets and its really cheap!

    Carpet cover up.

    Even the most careful among us manage to stain the carpet. If you’ve tried to remove a stain and nothings seems to work here’s remedy which was told to me by grandmother which worked for me. You might be able to live with it. Find a crayon that matches or will blend in with your carpet. Soften the crayon a bit with a hair dryer or in the microwave on defrost setting. Now color over the spot. cover your repair with wax paper and gently iron the color in. Remember to keep the iron on a low setting Repeat as needed.

    Well you can try with white wine , normally used when red wine or grape juice has been spilt. lifts out many dark stain´s . Pour the wine over the stain , leave for a few min´s then blot with kitchen roll. Once you are sure the stain has been lifted , Sponge with cold water , then with a little warm water and a drop of your own hair shampoo, work´s just as good as carpet shampoo, sponge the area.Now using the sponge again rinse well with clear water . Now lay a towel with a heavy object on top of the towel . This well help dry up any water from the underside of your carpet , leave over night if you can. Leave to dry with natural air, You might find that this area of the carpet will need a wash again , as sooner or later the water mark reaches the surface. So it might be a good idea to steam clean the carpet after the stain has been removed
