I have red stains on my carpet from Kool-Aid. I think Ive tried everything, even ironing it out. Any ideas?

Many years ago I had a vomit/cherry stain on new carpet. I used Soft Scrub without bleach and it was the only thing that worked. I still have the carpet!

I did best with the Dawn method (not the extra power kind, just the plain kind).
Hope one works for you! Post back your progress!
I've had good effect with hydrogen peroxide and also enzymatic cleaners. But I have never tried to take off something like Kool Aid, which could be tough since it's actually dye IE meant to permanently stain things.
Hi,
Mix 2 cups of water (that is warm) with 1/4 tsp dish detergent, like Dawn.
Dampen the area, but do not soak it with this mixture.
Lay a white cloth over the stain.
Run an iron over the stain, not pressing down on the iron.
Keep on doing this until the stain is gone.
Use a clean part of the towel each time you iron above the stain.
Keep repeating this until the stain is gone.
Use a fresh towel to go over the area and make the carpet look like it did before, fluffy and clean.
