How can I remove a red pop stain from beige carpet?

I had a two liter of red pop explode in the backseat of my car on my beige carpet. I have tried every stain remover possible but nothing seems to even make it lighter. It’s really expensive to replace carpeting so I’m trying to fix it myself. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated :)
UPDATE: I have tried Resolve, Folex, Carpet Shampooer, Stain Remover, etc…any other suggestions?

    You can try all of these solutions but I doubt you will be able to get the stain totally out. These stains are the hardest to get rid of.

    Try Afta by Gardsman.
    If you have any excess carpet or a piece from the closet a carpet installer could cut out the damaged area & seam in a new peice.
    Probably will cost between $50-$75.

    or a really good stain remover from those commercials.

    I would be lying if I said I had any experience here but I always heard that white wine or lemonade worked?? Just putting it out there for others to comment on… May be worth looking into but don’t try it until you’ve verified it!!

    I thought that Vanish powder was pretty good for cleaning most stains. If that doesn’t work then I think you’ll have to either replace it or get it professionally cleaned.

    The VERY BEST stain remover is FOLEX. you can buy it at home depot for sure, but I haven’t seen it anywhere else. Its amazing. My family uses it for every mess made on the carpet cause it can get anything out.
