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 your head so you don't inhale the fumes.Good luck!;)

DO NOT PUT A HOT IRON ON YOUR STAIN IT WILL SET IT IN !!! Keep the stain moist if it is still new. Get to the store and get some Rug Dr. Stain remover. They have one just for red stains. If your store doesn't have Rug Dr. products go to the section with carpet cleaners and there are some other brands that have stain removers made esp. for red stains. That is what you need. Also, someone told you to scrub, don't do that. Blot, add more solution and blot some more. Just keep repeating until you get all the stain up. Good luck and God bless!!

i would give it my best shot with some carpet cleaner from the store, and a good stiff brush, also Spot Shot works wonders, and there is always the option of a professional cleaning. i have gotten some pretty bad stains out before with a combination of these three things.

get some oxyclean and follow the directions. Just pour some on the stain and let soak for about 20 minutes and scrub out the stain. you don't have to rise. Just keep applying until the stain is gone.

There is some stuff called "Awesome", you can get it from "The Dollar Tree" or any discount store.
It works well, usually.. It depends on how old the stain is too.
I used it when my son fell asleep in my brand new car and had gum in his mouth, which some how fell out of his mouth and melted on my back seat in a spot.
I got it all up, it didn't leave one spot or stain and it only costs a dollar.
I hope it works for you.

You might want to try a deep carpet cleaner that you leave on for a few minutes & then vacuum up.

put a wet small towel over it then place a hot iron on top.. it should bring up red coloring onto towel. a carpet cleaner man told me this years ago.
