How do I remove a fresh & still wet actual powder then wet red cool aid stain in my carpet? I should have just swept it up when it was dry, however, I paniced and got it wet!!!

    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 ammonia and blot at the stain using a clean cloth. When cleaning carpet stains with ammonia, wear a mask or turn you head so you don’t inhale the fumes.Good luck!:)

    i had this exact same problem and i’m fixing it as we speak! this is going to sound crazy, but here what you do:

    you’ll need:

    iron
    white cloth/towel
    dish washing liquid

    turn the iron on to the highest setting for cotton and let it heat

    get a small cup and put a couple squirts of dishwashing liquid in it & fill with cold water, then pour it over your stain

    soak your cloth in cold water (i’m using a wash cloth) then put on top of the stain

    sit iron on top of cloth and your red mess will start rising into the cloth! you’ll need to keep rinsing the cloth, but it does work.
