Thank you for the ideas. My 2 year old had spilled his red Kool-aid on our new bed and thanks to the tips above I was able to clean the entire affected area of all the Kool-aid. I didn’t have any ammonia or dish soap as mentioned, just an iron and paper towels, so after wiping up what we could, I sprayed water on the area (small sections at a time) and placed the hot steam iron onto 3 layers of paper towels over the now dampened area. I waited for about 30 or so seconds until the towels just started to brown and it soaked up the Kool-aid. It took a few passes to get each spot completely clean, but it was a large area covering half a queen sized bed which would have looked terrible under any light color, or white bed sheets. Now it’s gone and the bed is saved. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!

There is this amazing cleaner called Capture….

It is a spray and powder that you apply to your carpet.

We had a Koolaid stain on the carpet and I applied the powder, and after it dried the stain vacuumed right out.

Works on any stain, including coffee.

I have a beautiful crocheted white doily my friend made me & our G.Grand Kid’s spilled a glass full of Kool-Aid on it. I didn’t know until a day later & it’s dried on it, so what can I do to get it out? I’m desperate.

The Kool-ade stain is set in on light carpet. I had a pro out the day after it happened but they couldn’t get it out. It is now set in and I would like you to suggest my best option.

One of my kids spilled blue Kool-aid on my wood table and left it to set in and make a nice stain for me to clean up.
Luckily, I came on here and decided to try using my iron on the steam setting with paper towels to see if that would work.

It did! In less than a minute, the steam had pulled the Kool-aid out and the paper towel absorbed it. *WHEW*

I got an orange Gatorade stain that was set in for a couple of months out with just water, a little dishwashing liquid and a hot iron and paper towels. Not even sure I needed any soap. The steam from the iron pulled it out, I just had to do it over and over for about ten or 15 minutes but you can’t tell it was even there now.

Same here but it’s on a sweater that’s cream colored.

I scrubbed it with stain remover and it turned pink.
