Sharen, I would give Spot Shot a try. I have used it on many a carpet stain with 100% success. It's in a blue and orange can. You can find it at most grocery stores, Target, and Wal-Mart. Good luck!
I use regular window cleaner to remove red juice stains from my beige carpet. Saturate the area with the window cleaner and blot. Repeat as necessary, it usually takes a few times Don't rub, just blot.
My son just moved out of a house that had light beige carpeting. A few months ago his daughter spilled a glass of fruit punch on the carpeting. The owner said you can't move out until the stain is GONE! So I scoured the internet for them and found a tip that my daughter in law said worked perfectly. You take a small amount of dishwashing liquid and mix some with water in a spray bottle.
I'm not sure I would have believed this if I hadn't tried it. But it sounded just crazy enough that it might work, and it did! If you still have some pink left, just do it again. Amazing!
IT WORKS .. IT WORKS .. IT WORKS. My lease will be ending in a couple months. I have worked hard to maintain a reasonably clean biege carpet until the fruit punch spill just yesterday.
AMAZING! It removed all the red stain from McDonald's Red Fruit Punch. Praise The Lord!
Sharon,
Try club soda to remove your stains. It works wonderful for all stains from A-Z
The above advice about the dishwashing liquid and water spray with the iron WORKS!!!!! It was like a magic trick. I had been trying with Spot Shot which got the stain to a hot pink color on my beige carpeting. Then I tried another suggestion which seemed to lighten it to a slightly lighter pink.
It worked!!! My daughter's friend spilled fruit punch Gatorade on the light grey carpet of my wife's Chevy Tahoe in the cargo area. I tried everything I could think of to get the red stain out to no avail. The iron literally wicked up the red into an old white towel. I had to do is a few times, but very effective. This saved me probably $300-$400 it would have cost to replace the carpet. Thank you the the original poster!
Thank you!!! The kids spilled punch on the carpet at a beautiful beach house in Nagshead.... this worked perfectly!!! Thank you so much!
This may work best on synthetic carpet. I have wool carpet and the stain is only a couple of hours old but this method is not lifting much of the color at all. I have tried repeatedly but the stain remains.
This worked! I cannot believe this worked! I've tried everything and I mean everything to get this fruit punch stain out and nothing worked. I had given up and had come to terms with loosing some of my security deposit.
FYI its still pink
The answer to "Hope This Works" is incredible! I used carbonated water, a white towel, and a medium-warm iron. Magic! Thank you!
Wow, it just worked! I googled and got to this page, and thought it was worth a try. I didn't even have Dawn; I just used the dishwashing soap I had on hand, along with warm water in a spray bottle. I was generous with the soap (call me paranoid).
As soon as i spilled the stain i just rubbed some handsoap on it and it was gone.
I tried using some Dawn detergent and hot water, spraying the carpet, laid an old white towel on top of it and letting a hot iron sit on it for about 30 seconds. As I lifted the towel, I could see the red Hawaiian punch sticking to the towel! It worked so well. I just kept moving the towel and laying the hot iron down on it until the whole stain was now on the towel and not the carpet. What a miracle that is!!
Unbelieveably...the Iron and soap and water method does work.
My method. Mixed DAWN soap and water in random amount.
Spray heavily on area.
Put regular dry bath towel down on top of stain.
Now for trial and error. I found that you want your iron as hot as possible without burning your towel naturally. So play with it a bit. I actually let mine sit (while observing) until it turned itself off. Then would pull it up and redo.
If you have a big stain, it might take awhile to do it. But this works!!!
So, my oldest son spilt fruit punch soda and didn't tell me for 3 days ( it was Hythe table so I didn't see it. Went over it with my rug cleaner a thousand times with all types of rug cleaners and nothing took it off. Tried the iron trick and it removed it all! I tried it with it wet from the rug cleaner and bath towel, it didn't work. Once I soaked it with the dish soap/ water and a thin dish towel, it did. I think because the thin towel + the water is actually steaming the carpet. Thank you! Thank you!! I am temp renting and was freaking out!!!
Thanks so much. Totally worked like a charm. No expensive hotel fees. Thank you.
This tip was AMAZING!! Took time and patience but totally removed all the stain!! Thanks so much!!
