My kids have poured tang on the carpet and now has turned yellow. How do I remove that stain. I have already tried some carpet cleaning products and it seems like the whole stain is not going. Still the stain is visible.

Thanks

    I know this is for Kool-aid but I figured Tang is almost the same.

    The sooner you can get to a stain, the better chance you’ll have for getting it out.

    When it comes to dealing with Kool-Aid stains, the best thing to NOT do is press or rub on it. If the stain is in a piece of clothing, try soaking it in a stain remover or other remedy. (Some recommend vinegar, others recommend baking soda or a bowl with a couple tablets of denture cleaner.) Then launder as you normally would.

    If the stain is in carpet- and you can get to it immediately- remove as much of the Kool-Aid with a shop vac and spray it down with a carpet cleaner. Cover the stain with a clean rag and then place an iron set on low- as not to damage the fibers of your carpet- on top of the rag for 15-20 minutes. (Remember not to press or rub!) The heat will cause the red stain to soak up into the cloth. Repeat this process with as many clean rags as necessary.

    This may not get rid of the stain completely but will help to lessen or fade the stain, especially with regular or repeated treatments over a period of time. ..Good luck!….:)

    Didn’t know they still made Tang, or that anyone drinks it! I don’t have any idea how to remove it though. Resolve has always worked ok for me. Try bleach if your carpet is white.

    Good evening, on air flights, they use 7up when they spill something on you, as welll as restaurants. It won’t hurt the carpet. I use salt on the table cloth when we spill wine. Hoyakins
