how do you get red coolaid out of the carpet?

Question

My daughter got red coolaid on my beige carpet. any home tips to remedy?

Answer 1

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..;)

Look in yellow pages for janitorial suplies. As for a product called Red-B-gone. I cleaned carpets for 20 yr. and this was the best. Also was a janitorial supply dealer, sold tons of the stuff. Also if you have a shop-vac or whatever brand that can be used as a wet vac, use it in the future to get spills out when they happen.

Answer 4

I just saw something on the web about using lysol kitchen antibacterial cleaner on it...
and I've had luck with the new oxyclean spray they sell to use on spills on clothes when you are out. I'm thinking a solution of oxyclean and water would be your best bet.
Whichever you try, just use a bit on a cotton swab in one spot first to check it doesn't hurt your carpet.
Red coolaid is the worst !
