Clean Kool Aid out of Carpet
Kool-Aid, tasty beverage that it is, is also amazingly good at leaving stains. This article is a guide to getting even the most persistent stains out of carpet.
Steps
- Dampen the stain with cold water.
- Sprinkle enough Borax over the stain to completely cover it.
- Press the Borax into carpet very gently with a cold damp cloth. The Borax will absorb the stain.
- Repeat until stain is gone.
- Pat dry with clean cloth.
Tips
- Always dab, never rub. Rubbing the stain will force more of the stain into the carpet fibers.
- The colder the water, the better. Consider adding a few ice cubes to the bowl or bucket.
Warnings
- Avoid walking in that area for a while.
- Never use hot or warm water on any stain! It will set the stain, and it will never come up!
Things You'll Need
- Cold water
- Several clean washcloths or paper towels
- Borax
