Question

I have a son that is constantly spilling juice and what have you on the carpet, most of it I can get out, but the ones that have red die in it I cannot get out. I have even used industrial carpet cleaner. Please someone help me get these stains out of my carpet.

Answer 1

OK, here is what i have learned.From my carpet cleaning guys and my mother in law.

pour peroxide on the area and let it to sit until the bubbles have slowed.you may have to do this a few times.

Then pour a small amount of hot hot water over the stain.
Allow it to cool.
place a clean dry towel over the stained area.
then iron over the towel repeatedly until the stain is removed.
If you have plywood flooring...be careful not to saturate your floor,this could ruin it.
Repeat the entire process until the stain is gone... i know..hard work....but it works like a charm.Oh...and be careful not to burn yourself...LOL.(wink)
good luck and have fun.

Answer 2

This type of stain is one of the hardest to get out the carpet.
I would recommend using a wet vac and slowly pour hot almost boiling water (from a kettle) on the spot and vacuum it up at the same time, (this will open up the dye ports on the carpet fibre releasing the stain. and remove the residue from the carpet).
If the stain is still visible than try putting Dawn dishwashing liquid (4 or 5 drops into one cup of water) or carpet spotter. Dampen the spot letting it soak on the stain for about 5 minutes and repeat step one. After this you should rinse the area again with the wet vac and hot water. If this doesn’t work try using orange glo or even 409. The most important thing to do is rinse the stain with a wet vac and hot water from a kettle to remove all the reside, or the spot may come back.

Please be careful with what product you uses (neutral PH carpet cleaning solution is best). Please DO NOT put anything on the carpet that was not made for carpet.

Answer 4

Go to your Family Dollar or Dollar General store and buy a spray called "Awesome". it works great. If the stain is Kool Aid, you can forget it. Nothing gets that stuff out. You will have to dye your carpet.

Answer 5

Sorry. I think you are stuck. I had to make a rule that no juice other than the kitchen because even my son's leak-proof sippy cups spilled grape juice onto my carpet, but I was lucky and found it right away. In our old apartment my step-son spilled red kool-aid and even with cleaning it right away it left a stain.
