How do I get red kool-aid out of carpet after the stain has been in the carpet for at least a month?

Question

My kids spilled red kool-aid on my living room carpet and I've tried putting woollite carpet cleaner on it with some sort of oxygen cleaner in it, but it didn't help it. Does anybody else have anything else that get it clean?

Answer 1

OK my husband is an apt. maintenance man and the way they get red stains out of the carpets is as follows
get 3 to 4 light colored towels(white is best)
get a clothes iron heat it to high cotton setting
take one of the towels and get it wet with hot water, lay it over the stain, cover it with a dry towel and place iron on top of it.(keep an eye on it) after few minutes remove wet towel(which now will be red from stain) keep repeating the wet towel till stain is gone

Answer 2

My answer is comparable to at least one which has been printed already even though it might want to avert some funds. All you ought to do is take some dishwashing liquid (like break of day) and combine it with some tap water. It would not take a lot (possibly about 10 aspects water to at least a million area detergent). Pour the cleansing soap-water over the stain. Take a towel (I want white because you may easily see the stain bleed into the towel) and canopy the stain. Get a warm iron and carry it on the stain for some seconds. be particular to %. the iron up peridically because you run the opportunity of burning your carpet after about 40 seconds. %. up the towel and see if the stain is lengthy gone. Repeat as needed.
