The thought of kids drinking Kool-aid on the carpet is enough to make any parent cringe. Those brightly colored stains are hard to remove. This is a guide about removing Kool-aid stains from carpet.
I spilled Hawaiian punch on my carpet and it dried a big red stain into my carpet. I tried resolve and spot shot and neither got them out by themselves. I found this website. Although it seems I couldn't find the original post. Here's how i got it out:

The Dawn method is great. I have used it for koolaid, crystal light and even when a blue pin leaked on my floor thanks to Saint Bernard puppy. I have used this same method but with carpet cleaner and it has worked the same so far.

The best way I know is to use your steam iron. Wet a white towel and wring it nearly dry. Turn your iron on the highest steam setting. Place the wet towel over the rug stain, then hold the iron a little above the towel and steam away. You may need to do this several times to get the entire stain out. You should be able to see the stain move from the rug into the wet cloth.

Wow! Iron/ white towel really works. I however used my stain remover to wet the carpet, not dawn. I also did not wet the towel. It got wet enough from the steam.

1/4 tsp. mild liquid dishwashing detergent with 1 cup of lukewarm water.
Blot the solution onto the stain. Work from the edges of the stain toward the center of the stain to ensure that you are not spreading it. Gently agitate rather than rub the stain and reapply solution as necessary. Keep blotting with a white cloth. If that does not work then use:
1 cup of white vinegar with 2 cups of water.
Keep blotting the area with a white cloth until the stain no longer transfers onto the white cloth, not rubbing but pressing.
If this is not helping, then make up an ammonia solution, remember never to use any kind of bleach with ammonia, not even on a spot that had bleach on it. You could hurt yourself by the fumes.
Mix 1 Tbsp. of ammonia with 1 cup of water if the stain is still visible. Sometimes ammonia will lighten the carpet a touch.
