Firstly, understand that the challenge lies, not in the spot but the stains. Kool Aid is nothing more that sugar and water (easy right!). But those artificial dye stains that remain can on be remove using only bleaching methods. DO NOT use Clorox bleach. Household bleach contains sodium hydrochloride and will definitely destroy nylon and wool carpet. I want you to focus your attention on an oxidizer that easily convert itself to water - peroxide. Kool Aid stains on carpet, although a hassle, can and will be history with this easy, do it yourself trick.
- First spray or pour a liberal amount of peroxide on those Kool Aid stains. (Do not attempt this with wool carpet.)
Using a white terry cloth, fold it over twice and place it on the Kool Aid stains. - Next place a hot steam iron on top of your terry cloth and wait 30 seconds. (If you have an olefin carpet, wait only 20 seconds. Olefin carpet has much less resistance to heat than nylon carpet.)
- Rinse, blot up excess water, wait until your carpet cools, and repeat until the Kool Aid Stains on your carpet are history.
