Anti freeze can stain permantley. Check fabric and if wool you will have a slim chance of removal.
Rinse first with cool water then if still present try Prochem ultra pac renovate, dwell, extract.

It is now if someone else has hada dabble with it.  ;D

I would say that as antifreeze mixes with water it is just the colour element that is now the problem.
A rough guess says the carpet is white/cream so you have an all or nothing situation. All out or some of the stain will show, add to this even if the average person wouldn't notice it the owner will always be fixed to that area unless you get a 'PERFECT' result.
