I have a koolaide stain on my carpet that has been there for a while, shampooed it numerous times?

Question

I had red koolaide spikked in the carpet. Tried getting it up then but since then all I have done issteam and shampoo. there is a great difference but still very noticable on my off-white carpet...I need help... any advice?

Answer 1

Always keep club soda on hand. It is great for getting red koolaid and wine out of carpets, especially if caught right away. The red color bubbles to the top and can be absorbed onto paper towels. You can try the club soda now but more than likely that stain has been set in by previous attempts to clean. Try a very strong solution of Oxy Clean. Good Luck.

Answer 2

get a pan of mild detergent such as ivory, make a soapy batch, wet the area, put white towel down and iron it, get the steam going good. may need to do it several times, each time it lightens it. If it remains, it should be light enought the resolve or something like that should get the rest of it. I know it sounds odd. The carpet cleaners do this. By the way, the carpet cleaners carry kits where they can match your carpet and dye the one area.

Answer 3

Try adding about 1/2 C. of Clorox 2 or another color safe bleach in your shampooer, and then rinse well. This should do it. If not, check that stain with some Luminol.....

Answer 4

I would sray resolve or water on the stain and sprinkle Oxy clean on it and let set 45min to an hour. and then clean up with damp rag and then shampoo the spot again.

Good Luck

Answer 5

I have seen this done with stuffed toys, put corn starch on it and leave it for a while, put a chair over it and leave it , last resort it might work, and ill tell ya these stuffed toys were grose but they came out of the bag sparkling.

Answer 6

Use a regular stain remover like Shout.

Answer 7

try rubbing it with mr clean magic eraser

also baby wipes, I've used them before on other things and they work on some stains. You may have to rub it for awhile.
