Spilled vanilla coke on carpet?

Question

About 3 weeks ago I spilled vanilla coke on the carpet. I thought I got it all up, but now I see darker spots where it spilled. Is there a trick to get the stain out? It's a light colored carpet.....thanks!

Answer 1

I have gotten many stains out by making a solution of 1/2 cup oxiclean powder and a pint of hot water, When the oxiclean is dissolved I pore it on the stain and press a white towel on top by stepping on it. I let it set there for 1 hour to overnight. When I lift up the towel the stain is nowhere to be found and it doesn't effect the colors. I vacuum when it is completely dry. I've gotten coffee, makeup, juice, urine, hair dry and many more stains out by this

Answer 2

I've never had trouble with coke stains. Have you tried scrubbing with an old fashioned scrubbing brush and carpet soap? Don't use too much water.
