My son spilled red kool aid on our light beige carpet. I have tried several things to get it out, nothing’s worked so far. Does anyone know of anything that will get it out? It’s brand new carpet (like only 3-4 months old) and very visible. I have tried Resolve carpet cleaner and another store bought cleaner and it didn’t even touch the stain. Thanks in advance for any information!!

    The dyes in Kool-Aid, Gatorade and Jell-o generally result in a permanent stain. However, you can still try to remove carpet stains caused by these products. The newest technology uses peroxide and detergents to penetrate the soiled area to remove the stain and deactivate the odor. Simply spray a product such as Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate on the soiled area, and then allow it to penetrate for approximately five minutes. Using a clean white absorbent cloth, blot the area, pressing down firmly (do not rub) for 30 seconds. Repeat this blotting process until the area is dry. If the odor persists, repeat the process. Another option for cleaning carpet stains such as these is to use ordinary household and blot at the stain using a clean cloth. When cleaning carpet stains with ammonia, wear a mask or turn your head so you don’t inhale the fumes…

    I have never been able to get stains out like that with just ordinary carpet cleaner. I would suggest renting a steam cleaner or purchasing one. Even if it is just a hand held steam vac. This way, you treat the stain with chemical and steam and suck it back out of the carpet. I recently purchased a Hoover – Steam Vac with Clean Surge – Patriot blue and opaque Model: F5914-900 and am completely amazed and happy with the results. I could not believe the stains I was able to get out of my carpet. I have 2 children and a Yorkie. Good luck!
