Red Gatorade Stains on Carpet

How can I get red Gatorade stains out of beige carpet? The stain is about 2 years old and I've tried everything.

I used the peroxide suggested here and the red gatorade stain vanished! Thanks for the tip!

I spray peroxide on any red stains. So far so good.

I had a problem once with a red stain on a pale gray carpet and I got a product from a janitorial supply that you pour on the spot, put a white cloth over it and then press a steam iron to it. The steam draws the red coloring into the cloth.

Get some Spot Shot - dark blue can with an orange top - you can find it at Wal Mart, Home Depot, etc.
Cost a little more than some cleaners, but I haven't found a stain yet that it wouldn't remove.

have you tried oxy clean? you get it wet and kinda make a paste let it sit a minute or so and wipe with a wet cloth.
