I have several red kool-aid stains but I’m going to try the iron method. Hopefully it will work.

Our little girl spilled our glass of strawberry koolaid early this morning. My mother has a very light tan berber carpet ( almost white ) all the way thru her home. When I saw our daughter with the cup I started freaking out. Well, before I got to her guess what? She spilled it right in the middle of the sitting room. I had no idea how I was going to get this out so my husband suggested bleach and oxy clean. Well that didn’t work so I googled it. I found suggestions and I chose to do ice, wet white rags, and the iron method. Well, during the time of me preparing all of this and my husband watching ( he told me good luck, you are just going to have to hear your mothers mouth later today) I was hoping that this would really work. For anyone who does not believe in things like this, PLEASE do not knock it until you have tried everything and make sure you do it just like it says. THANKS SOOO MUCH FOR THIS…..I WILL DEF PASS ON 2 MY FRIENDS

I had tried several different things with no luck. The stain was cherry Koolaid that my son had spilled on off white carpet about a month before and hidden with a scatter mat. I tried the trick with Dawn detergent and an iron and the stain is now completely gone and I’m completely amazed.

I found safeguard soap is a wonderful cleaner to take up dry or wet Kool-aid stains. Take a bucket of clean water – white cloth-bar of safeguard soap. Wet the bar of soap in the bucket-rub the spot with the wet bar. use the cloth to work the soap into the spot. Rinse the cloth and then rinse the stain with the cloth. Repeat if necessary – works great!

There are 2 different strengths of Oxyclean, the one you buy in the grocery store, and a INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH that you can find in your local family hardware store. It is twice as strong and I have removed Red Koolaid and black printers ink from my carpet. Also the Industrial strength OxyClean works great in a carpet cleaner.

If the stains are old and have dried on the carpet, try the iron method. Moisten a clean white cloth with soapy water and lay it on the stain. Set the iron (on the lowest setting) on top for 15 minutes. You will start to see the color transfer to the cloth. Repeat until the stain is gone.

Make sure you clean the stain while its still wet, if not it is a lot harder to get up.
