Koolaid is one of the easier stains I deal with.  Now TOUGH is a plant placed in a brown wicker basket that someone waters and fertilizes for months.  The water overflows onto the carpet with fertilizer in it.  The brown stain from the wicker soaks into the carpet along with water and dirt, and it is all burned in to the carpet with fertilizer as it bakes in the sun every afternoon by the patio door.  Then the customer thinks they will clean it up and rubs a soapy cloth into the stain making it worse. 
 
NOW THATS TUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!Top that one somebody....Smile

Pro Choice's Red One is like magic.  Same process as Red Relive. 

I keep around the regular Pro Choice Red and use part A on yellow kool aid.

CF, try the "and can you get that out to?  I think the kids spilled some bleach there".

My answer is "do you still have the kids?  You could try listing them on craigslist."

WinkKoolaid is easy to take out if you got the system down pat.  Listen carefully.  Mix part A & B of Red relief (NOT RED 1) together.  Pour it into the stain and aggitate for a few seconds with a brush or your fingers.  Wet down a healthy thick wet clothe with cold water and put it over the stain after a standard wring out of the excess water.  Apply a hot iron on its hottest (hottest) setting with steam for 20-25 seconds.  Pull the iron off and let the clothe sit in place for 60 more seconds.  Do it again and again if you have to letting the carpet cool for a bit   between steamings.  Rinse out the clothe almost after each use.  The theory being the cool thick clothe saves the carpet while the super hot steam erases the stain.  YOU MUST GET THE IRON SUPER HOT!  Luke warm wimpy iron wont do much at all. Turn that iron up and wet that clothe.  No cheese baby.  I've never burnt the carpet yet.  25 seconds max though per melt down.  And dont leave you white clothe sopping wet, that dont work.  Wink
Go ahead...make my day.....

Medium setting here. High seems to burn the damp cloth faster and this heat needs time to  transfer the dye.. But like duck said different strokes..
Core Products "JuiceOut".. No mixing involved..!

Put kool-aid in the tank and make it impossible to see the spot anymore.  Less work, $.05/quart.

And the cost of the dye job - zero dollars
The expression on their faces - priceless

Assuming that the carpet is nylon, with kool aid stains, I extract as much of the kool aid as possible first. Next I pour an oxidizer onto the spot, place a terry cloth and hot iron on top. I let it sit for 20 seconds, let the carpet cool and repeat until it's completely gone. Get a liability release signed from the customer prior to doing this. There are no guarantees it'll come out.

I mixed Red 1 tonight and Power Gel by Pros' Choice and left it on the carpet without rinsing.  Have you or anyone ever done that? The stains came out but now I am wondering will the carpet be OK.  Should I call the customer and go back and rinse?
