Good luck with that.

Do a search, there's a fair bit on here about Coke stains.

I had a large coke stain on a wool mix a few months ago,soaked with MPower and left to dwell for 20 minutes.
Rinsed out and it had gone

I had some coke stain in an office last week.  Sprayed down with Chemspec 105 agitated (at this point the coke had vanished) then hot water extracted.  No problems at all.  http://www.restormate.co.uk/epages/15094.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/15094/Products/DFC1051G/SubProducts/DFC1051G

I always think that a cleaning solution applied first allows it to penetrate the fibres also breaking the bond of protein then a straight forward rinse and then a towel off to dry it out and look for any dirt transfer.

If you have Chemspec Coffee Stain Remover, that should do the trick, just follow the instruction on the lable, again available from Restomate.
Coke has a caramel food colouring in it.
