We have been dealing with red stains on our carpets for years from drinks. Yes, some from the little ones, but honestly hubby has been the main culprit. I tried everything imaginable I have could find for the past decade that was supposed to work, and when those all inevitably failed I even tried bleach. I have since bought large area rugs and swore to do the same once we had new carpeting, on top of never getting light carpet again.
Then, I find this http://pinterest.com/pin/212302569906270885/ on Pinterest and figure it is worth a shot..... AND IT WORKS!
I used the blue glass cleaner with ammonia (the blue did not leave any color in my case), spray A LOT on the stain, cover with a white towel, and iron with a regular clothes iron (I had on the highest setting, so I moved the whole time.) There is still some left, so I will treat again, I just wanted to try on the one area.
Now, if I continue to have the same results it looks like we can just have our carpets cleaned instead of replacing them! I also plan to try with straight ammonia, maybe since it is stronger it will work even better, and of course it is cheaper.
