My cousin spilled some FRUIT PUNCH CREATINE MIX(its a muscle supplement) on my carpet. I tried 2 shop-rite carpet cleaner products, and 1 pep boys carpet cleaner product. The candy apple red area is STILL candy apple red.
ANyway, please someone ADVISE!!

nah, he needs somthing called new carpet.... this happened in my old altima... except it was gatorade.. I used folex, stain extingusher, everything i could think of. NOTHING got it out, NONE of it came out. I would try steam cleaning and if it doesnt work then start shopping for new carpet....

Fortunatly the car was a lease and a huge hunk of shiet when i was done with it... so i traded it in on the max and didnt have to pay any damages

Steam cleaning may not even help him. My dad owns a carpet cleaning business and it is one of the most common stains that people have. Fruit punch is one of the hardest to get out, because it actually dyes the carpet fibers. Try using vinegar or ammonia. I would use ammonia mixed with warm water because it smells better than vinegar and plus its a little more potent. If it still doesn't come out then you are stuck with it.
