What is the best way to removie a huge juice stain out of the carpet?

Question

I'm guessing that the juice spilled on the carpet yesterday because the stains are already dry. This may be a dumb question, but will color bleach get it out?

Answer 1

Do not use color bleach.

Try this, it's helped us out many times

Answer 2

The best thing I've found for old stains is the steam solution you get from the supermarkets that rent out the steam machines. I usually put some of that directly on the stain, let it sit a bit and then with a dry towel pat it dry, or step on the towel to get the solution that's gone under the rug.

Answer 3

Try bathroom cleaner, the foaming kind or awesome cleaner you can get it a the Dollar Tree, or resolve.  The main thing to do is put cleaner on and try to soak up with a towel, keep putting cleaner on and soak up with a towel...  If the carpet is light colored a little diluted bleach probably would not hurt it..Also Clorox has a new bleach called ultimate care bleach.

Answer 4

i wouldnt use any kind of bleach.

Answer 5

Oxyclean?

Answer 6

What kind of juice?

Natural juice such as Cranberry/Grape usually do not have food dyes only tannins. Wine stains are also due to the tannins. Tannins can be removed putting 3% hydrogen peroxide (the kind you buy in the store - brown bottle) and allowing dwell time. After several hours it will lighten if not disappear completely. If it does not retreat with a little more

3% hydrogen peroxide will not bleach carpet.

If the juice has a food dye in it a professional will be necessary. Juices like kool aid or juicy juice and many others usually have food dyes (examples would include red #40). The label on the product will list if they have been used.

Don't bother trying oxiclean, resolve or other over-the-counter products - they often will set the stain.
