Carpet is stained for ever?

Well few days ago i bough a bottle of Orange Crush, threw it on the floor, left for some time and when i came back i saw a nice orange mat. Damn bottle just leaked, i didn't even touch the cap. Well anyway i tried tons of different carpet, stain cleaners. No signs of it coming off looks like it will stay there 4 ever.
Is there a way to clean it? Or should i just use the same brand of Crush to dye all mats and carpet? Maybe door inserts too if any juice left

Try using club soda. Add a little vodka and have a party ... jk. I've used club soda and paper towels before and it worked pretty well. Just remember to keep turing the towel to a new white spot.

I used armorall carpet cleaner with oxiclean to get out a huge oil stain that a tow truck driver left on the drivers seat, carpet and fabric on the driver door. Came out no problem.... i dont see orange soda being a problem...lol... Just make sure you use a stiff brush to scrub. Or just take it in for detailing.

The problem is that nature of the stain. Oily stains can be broken down, so can organic stains. However, things like food dye cannot be easily broken down.

Try a big bottle of rubbing alcohol from the pharmacy, I took out soya sauce with it before. Pour it on, sop it up with a white cloth till you see no more orange.

Go rent the Rug Doctor from your local grocery store, and use the hand attachment on the stain.

or you could use paint thinner... it gets out most all of your dyes... regardless whehter its oil based or not... i had a katchup stain on my back seat... and used thinner got that sh!t out in a heart beat.. just make sure it doesn't dry on your carpet... use water based thinner... or it will make your carpet have solid threads

Mix one teaspoon of a neutral detergent with a cup of luke-warm water. Blot. Mix one-third cup of white household vinegar with two-thirds cup of water. Blot. Sponge with clean water. Blot. or you can sponge with with club soda or white wine. or Sponge on ammonia solution of 2 tbsp. ammonia and 1 cup warm water. This might help remove the stain in the carpet.
