I just did a Spot remover carpet test this week. I used these spot and stain remover's:

!. Folex Instant Spot REomver
2. 303 Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner
3. Oxy Pro Total
4. Adam's Carpet Cleaner

Paisano Red Wine was one of my stains. I poured out an 1/8th cup of wine for each spot remover. And I let the stains sit for an entire week.

Folex blew everyone away, and alls you have to do is agitate it with your fingers for a little bit.

You could a very light barely can see stain. But like some have said, that part of the stain is further down in the threads. And using an extracter should finish the job right up.

Folex.....Homedepot, Lowes, kmart

You can't, red40 coloring is more of a dye. Dye the carpets to match the rest.

I've had numerous red stains on GM vehicles that won't come out. They are a chemical reaction from something and I have never been able to figure it out. I've had it in all different types of vehicles and lot's of them haven't even been vehicles with kids. I do vehicles for a GM dealership so I see this often. Just was curious if anyone else have ever seen this?

ive used it once an its still in the trailer, it says to use with a towel under a iron set on low an could take up to 15 min. i didnt trust a iron on for 15 min but it did remove some of the red stain. so i might not have used it right. If any body wants it send me a PM an ill send it to you.

I got a red Slurpy spatter out of a light tan headliner before. I can't remember what I used though... it was a while ago. I do know I had to try at least 4 or 5 different cleaners. And the stain had only set in the fabric for a few weeks. Maybe it was a mixture of a few of them that did the trick.

I have seen a few carpet cleaning supply stores that actually sell "red stain remover." I've never tried a chemical dedicated to removing red stains but I'd guess that would be your best bet.

One of the Meguiar's reps I recently talked to told me that hydrogen peroxide will take kool-aid stains out. I have an alkaline cleaner that gets a lot of the red out but I have yet to get out all of the red. I've seen many different red food dye removers but haven't ever tried one.

Do you have a janitorial supply store near you?

There is a product (that I can't remember the name of) that is made to remove 'red stains'. It is used in hospitals etc for removing "Betidine" (doubt that is the correct spelling, but that's how it sounds).

Try Red 1 (http://www.proschoice.com/html/red_1.html). Renny Doyle likes using this to remove red stains in conjunction with a steamer.

Here's a youtube video of Red 1 in action:
