These are the kind of stains Dyegone was developed for but you need to have confidence using these kinds of products.

What works for one person doesn't always work for another because they are too many variables.
By all means try different things BUT do it under strict limits, in other words use cotton buds on just a strand, twist of carpet at a time. That way any adverse effects that might happen are limited to the minimum. There are many a storey of people reading about how 'someone' posted 'miracle' results on a similar problem, which when they copied by covering the WHOLE stain in one go sit back in amazment when that slightly orange stain becomes a dark blue in your face mess.

Try Dye Gone. Very effective on irnbru and thats on a par with lucazade. Let the chemical dwell for 20 minutes before extracting.

Its well worth getting your hands on some carpet samples. End of line books from your local retailer are best I source. Cover them with various drink/dye stains and leave them for a few weeks.

Then spend a free couple of hours playing around with the various bleaches and strippers, their boosters, heat transfer methods etc until you feel comfortable.

As already mentioned use of these products is best qualified with the customer before attempting to be on safe side.
