Vanishing Act

This morning I painted all three of the kids' rooms and the living room. During this Chloe came to show me something. She had a crystal light container and powder all over her mouth, hands, and shirt. My eyes must have lit up because Chloe quickly said "Dont spank me". I asked her if she got it on the couch, she said no. So I ran up stairs and there was a little drop on the couch. I sprayed it with a cleaner and then noticed a larger drop on the carpet. When I sprayed that area, a really large area of red appeared. I didn't realize that she had dumped a whole package of crystal lite into the carpet. I quickly soaked the area with every cleaner we had on hand. I tried to scrub it out but it was not coming up. I then called Heidi and told her to buy a carpet cleaner. She did and we tried that. The carpet cleaner was helpful but the carpet was still very much red. Heidi then called our friend, Kim, who has a brother who was a carpet cleaner. Kim told us to first rinse out any cleaners we had used before. We used our upright carpet cleaner with only water in it to do that. After that she told us to mix 1 part ammonium to 3 parts water. Take the mixture and soak the area that needs to be cleaned. Then place a towel over it and iron it. Press directly on the towel with a lot of force until you hear sizzling. The heat brings the dye up into the towel. I did that for a few hours and it came up. The picture above on the left is the after picture.
