Use a small amount of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, wait a few minutes, then apply again. Put a dry towel on the area and apply heat with a iron on top of the towel. You will see the stain intermediately transfer to the towel.

Kool-aid Stains on Carpet

I spilled Hawaiian punch on my carpet and it dried leaving a big red stain in my carpet. I tried Resolve and Spot Shot and neither got it out by themselves. I found this website. Although it seems I couldn't find the original post. Here's how I got it out:

1. Put dish soap and water on the stain and let it set for about a minute.
   
2. Take a white t-shirt and put it over the stain. Use the very edges so that you can repeat this step by using all the surface area of the t-shirt.
   
3. Take hot iron and run it over the t-shirt that is over the stain. You will start to notice the stain transferring onto the t-shirt. In my case, at the end of this procedure, my t -shirt was almost completely red and it also took out a lot of dirt that one might not notice.

4. Repeat these steps until it is all gone. It's like magic! (01/16/2009)
