Well, since I am a Rainbow Cleaning System Distributor may I suggest...a Rainbow...

Actually the shampoo we have is simple amazing. Find a Rainbow Distributor close to you (www.rainbowsystem.com) and get some AquaMate Solution.

Wow! I didn't know they still built and sold Rainbow vacuums. Both my mother and grandmother own these, and I think they are both about 20 years old and work like a charm.

Am I getting paid for this?

Have you thought about trying some hand cleaner? It worked great when I tried to remove some grease stains from a buddy's car years ago. Use the non-pummince (sp?) type ... like Go-Jo. Worked it in, dabbed it up, gave a couple more applications, then vacuumed out the residue when it dried. "Out Spot!"

You can go to your local dealership and depending on where the stain is they can either have a carpet detailer remove it or they can cut out the stain and replace the carpet in that area with "cuttings" from your carpet that is "hidden" under the seat or under the rear panels.

Back from the dead. lol All kinds of red drinks are a pain to clean up. You can also use spray paint carpet dyes. Hides them pretty well.

A friend told me to try some Brake parts cleaner. Its mostly alcohol and dries quickly. He used it in his Durango to clean some stains, said it worked great. I havent tried it so if you do , use it on a small area first.. I also steamed cleaned my carpet with the Rug Doctor cleaner at Publics / Lowes .. Also worked great... they charged me $19 plus $5 for the hand tool for 24 hrs, if you have a home cleaner ( Bissel or Hoover ) that solution will work in the Rug Dr. as well.... Hope this helps..

But have you ever steam cleaned the red drink spills.... They are tougher then any other colors.
