1. Mix 1/4 teaspoon clear, mild liquid dishwashing detergent with 1 cup lukewarm water in a bowl.
2. Fill a second bowl with lukewarm water.
3. Blot the stain with the detergent solution using a clean, white cloth, working from the outside of the stain toward the middle to keep from spreading the stain.
4. Dip a second clean, white cloth into the lukewarm water and blot the stained area, again working from the outside in.
5. Place a third clean, white cloth over the satin and apply pressure to absorb as much of the liquid as possible.
6. Repeat steps 2-4 as necessary to remove the stain.
7. If the stain hasn't disappeared, mix a solution of 2 tbsp. ammonia and 1 cup lukewarm water in a third bowl and a solution of 1 cup white vinegar and 2 cups lukewarm water in a fourth bowl. Get more clean, white cloths to work with.
8. Blot the stain with ammonia mixture followed by lukewarm water and a clean, dry absorbing cloth, as above.
9. Then blot the stain with the vinegar mixture followed by lukewarm water and a dry cloth absorbing, as above.
10. Keep blotting with the ammonia and vinegar solutions as described until the stain disappears.
Using clean, white cloths ensures dye won't bleed from the cloth to the carpet; it also makes it easier to notice the stain being pulled out of the carpet.
Dip your cloths into each solution rather than pouring the solutions directly onto the carpet.
Avoid scrubbing or rubbing when cleaning the carpet; you don't want to damage the carpet fibers.
Spray it with Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner. This really only works on the fresh Kool-aid. Once it's a dry stain, it won't work nearly as well. Also, it will get Kool-aid stains off kitchen counters without bleach.
Mix 1/2 cup Biz to 2 cups hot water. Use a white cloth and drench the area of carpet with the Biz mixture. Put a dry, white towel over the spot. Put a heating pad over towel. Place another towel over the heating pad. Place a hard, flat board over towel and apply something very heavy on top of board. Do not rub! This may take several applications.

I always use a product called Spot Shot. It has never failed to remove a stain for me. The last use I had for it was a dried nail polish spill at my mom's house.
I've also used it on shoe polish, paint, tobacco spit, juice stains, you name it. It is an invaluable tool for the builder putting the final touches on a home ready to close.

Try hair spray! This also works on markers from kids, plus ink.

go to wal-mart or some other store and look for "mean green". it gets out everything. Its a long process though. spray, pat dry, and repeat

when it comes to kool aid it really depends on what color try using a pet mess cleaner it will help remove the red dye...
