how to get red kool aid out of carpet
Hey Niah, my kid spilled some red kool aid on our carpet, any ideas on how to remove it?
Oh dear, don't worry. The stain is not permanent. We can definitely handle it. The first step is to blot the stain up with a dry towel. Make sure you don't rub it, as it will only push the stain further into the carpet.
I did that already and as much of the liquid is up as I could get. What's next?
Great! Now mix a solution of one cup white vinegar, one cup warm water, and a half teaspoon of dishwashing detergent. Apply this solution to the stain slowly and blot up with a clean cloth.
Should I let it sit for a while or just keep blotting?
It's a good idea to let the solution sit on the stain for about 5-10 minutes before you start blotting. This will allow it to penetrate the stain and loosen it up. After blotting, rinse the area with cold water and then blot it dry.
Got it, thank you, Niah. I'm going to try this out and hope it works.
You're welcome! Remember, it might take a few applications for the stain to completely come out. Just repeat the process until it's gone. Good luck!
