Getting Red Stains out of carpets is the number one complaint by homeowners. You just spent $5,000 Bucks on new carpet and your 2 year old just dropped a bottle of Kool-Aid. Or your friends talked you into a wine tasting party at your house - Next day red stains everywhere.

Kool-Aid, colored wines, Jell-O, or any product that has an acid based dye will permanently change the dye structure of carpet fibers, especially nylon carpets which makes up 85% of the homes in the U.S. If you have stain master carpets or teflon protected carpets, you must clean it immediatly or over time just by walking on the carpet will grind the stain into the carpet fibers. Now you have a permanent discolor on your carpet. So now what!

You can buy Red Be Gone which includes a manual to do it yourself. Sells for about $16.99 for the 2 part system.
