Strawberry Stains on White Carpet

I need serious help. I have a white carpet and I caught my grandkids eating strawberries on it! Unfortunately, it wasn't until AFTER they got some on my carpet. I tried to clean it with the new Orange cleaner that has come out, now I have strawberries with the orange color in my carpet. Please someone help me to get it out. I'd be forever grateful.

My daughter just finished eating strawberries and then vomited on our beige carpet. I used Shout for carpets and there was still a pink stain after several attempts of spraying and scrubbing. Then I tried the Windex. Sprayed it on and let if for a few minutes and looks like it came right out. Just waiting for it to dry.

I don't have white carpet but I do have light grey. I use a product called SPOT SHOT that I buy at Wal-Mart. I just spray it on a spot(even red stains) and the spot almost disappears instantly. I rub with a dry clean clot and the stain is gone!

OH NO! There is a great cleaner at Walmart, called Folex (it is a little more expensive, but lasts longer, and has 100% money back guarantee) It may get the strawberries, but those orange oil based cleaners are quite another! If it doesnt work, and your carpet is true white, I'd try peroxide (bleach may destroy your sealant if you have it!) GOOD LUCK!
