Try some hydrogen peroxide. It works for removing blood stains on carpet so might work on the Gatorade.

try spot shot. They sell it at wal-mart for about 3-4 bucks. Works really good on everything I have ever stained.

If none of those work, Lighter Fluid and matches will do the trick. :crossx:

How about Dyeing all the rest of the carpet to match?? :)

I don't want to piss in your Cornflakes, but...Red gatorade is probably the hardest of all stains to clean out of carpet. Last fall we bought a new 5th wheel camper. One our maiden voyage my daughter left her bottle of red Gatorade sitting on a coffee table while we went to the inlaws RV for dinner. Our teething puppy thought it would make a really cool chew toy, and sawed it open right in the middle of the brand new carpet. I have tried EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERTHING mentioned here, plus bleach, acetone, Simple Green, turpentine... I then did a search on Google for red Garorade stains. I found several carpet cleaning professional sites that all said red Gatorade is literally impossible to completely remove. They were right. Many things will fade it and turn it a real nice pink, but I have yet to find something to remove it. I took it to two detailers, they tried all their super secrets. NADA!
Good luck, and if you find something that works, plese PM me with what ya did.
