HELP-Need to remove stain

mattpresley · Apr 25, 2009

I spilled red crystal light all over my ****ing carpet in my truck :bawling:

. I can't get the stain out and need advice(besides a steamer). :dunno:

I'd try WD-40 to dissolve the red dye and then use shampoo or carpet shampoo to wash out the WD-40.

WHATEVER SUGGESTIONS YOU GET - FIRST TRY THEM ON A SAMPLE SPOT SOMEWHERE INCONSPICUOUS TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T REMOVE THE REAL COLOR.

What my mother did to get some of that out of the carpet in her van was get a towel that you don't care about it, put it over the stain, and iron it. It drew the stain into the towel from the carpet.

I can't remember if the stain/carpet had to be wet though. If it doesnt work with the carpet dry try wetting it.

dilute some "simple green" and scrub it in with a brush. then vacuum it out.

if all else fails, pull the carpet and take it to a car wash. degrease spray + spray soap + rinse = miracle worker. all it costs is about $2, some wrenches, and a couple hours.
