  1. Peroxide will remove it. Just put it on and wipe it off with a towel. it will disappear as you put the peroxide on. Its actually really neat to watch... Good luck.


  2. Club soda and a wet vac.  Pour the soda right on it and suck it out.  Keep doing this until its gone. The bubbles helps lift the color out.  Don't give up.  It may take several cans of club soda. Don't use peroxide or anything that acts as a bleach or you'll end up with a faded spot with a pink stain

  3. Here is what you do:

    1. Get an iron with the ability to produce steam.  Make sure it is full of water.  Set the iron to medium to medium-high with the steam setting on.

    2. Get several CLEAN, white, terry cloth or cotton towels.

    3. Soak or spray the stained carpet area with a mix of 2 cups hot water, with 2 teaspoons of any dish detergent.

    4. Apply the cloth towel, folded once (wet with just hot water) over the area you just treated.

    5.  Set your hot iron over the towel,  and let the iron set for 2 minutes, checking the progress occasionally.  If the dye starts to release itself from the carpet, your white towel will start to get red patches absorbing into the material.  Keep working at the stain by rewetting the area, rinsing your towel and re-applying the iron.  If all goes well, you should be able to remove a majority of the stained area.  Don’t worry, using a hot iron will not burn your carpet if you follow these steps.  This method works because the high temp and steam weakens the dye bond from your carpet and the towel absorbs it into the cloth.  Yo will want to apply some pressure to the iron as you work, this will help remove the stain from thicker pile carpet.

    6.  Now, after you have removed most or all of the stain, get a spray bottle of nothing but clear water.  Flush the area you just removed the stain from with the clear water, and blot up the excess with a fresh towel(s).  This step is commonly forgotten.  If you do not flush the area clean of the detergent and residue from the beverage, you will get a gray spot that will develop in 1-3 weeks.  This is from the detergent residue combined with the sugars in the beverage.  It becomes a dirt magnet and will create a gray spot that will look just as bad as the red stain.  Take your time and flush the area, blot and repeat until you see no more suds from the detergent.  Again, if you have a hand held spot remover, you can reduce this step to a few minutes.

  4. I am sorry, but No.  I had white carpeting in my house and at a party someone spilled their coffee on my carpet and I just about lost it.  I tried all recommendations and they all failed.  I even called carpet cleaning companies and they said No.  A stain is a stain especially coffee and red wine/pop.  I had to get new carpeting.  Sorry.  Some things will lessen the stain but not get rid of it.

  5. Yes, I recommend the all purpose non-toxic cleaning product.  It gets out just about anything.  Link below.

  6. You could try a Tide stick!

  7. i would just try applying some kind of stain remover like shout or tide

  8. If you have a wet/dry shopvac take out the paper filter and use it to extract the soda.. If you have a  laundry pretreater like SHOUT or SPRAY n WASH spray the carpet and let it sit for a few minutes... Dampen the area with the water and extract with the wet dry vac.  You may have to repeat... .Rinse/extract throughly....

    Good luck

  9. Take a cold, wet washcloth with some dish soap in the water you wet it with.

    Lay it on the stain and iron it. For a while.

    Rinse the rag and do it again. It might take a little time but it will work.

    It's like steam cleaning your rug in a very concentrated way.

    It worked for me with kool-aid, crystal light, and red pop.

  10. Oxi Clean just mix some with water and spray or pore on spilled spot this stuff actually works like it shows on television....

  11. Put a throw rug over it!!

  12. Yeah, ummm.  Peroxide is great for BLOOD stains, but only if applied before the stain "sets".  And the peroxide-dissolved blood needs to be removed/rinsed thoroughly with water before it dries.  Even if peroxide might - might - get rid of the stain, it also could bleach your carpet, so test it first in a small, out-of-the way spot (if you're going to try it at all, which I probably wouldn't).

    We use Woolite Pet Stain Rug and Upholstery Cleaner for carpet stains (indoor dog and a brand new baby), but there are plenty of other good, off-the-shelf products out there.  If several applications (and some elbow grease) don't do the job, consider renting a QUALITY steam/carpet cleaner.  If THAT doesn't work, your best shot may be calling a commercial carpet cleaning service.

  13. white wine

    or very slighly move something over the spillage so no one notices anything

    works everytime i promise

    good luck lol :)
