How to Get Juice Stains Out of Carpet – Method # 1

When it comes to removing juice stains from carpet, you want to act as quickly as possible before the stain sets in.

Blot the fruit stain with a paper towel, blotting away as much of the liquid as possible. You can also use a clean cloth.
Spray lukewarm water directly onto the stain. Make sure it's lukewarm, not hot.
Blot the stain again using paper towels, or a clean white cloth. You want to avoid using a circular motion when you're wondering how to get juice stains out of carpet; the best way to blot the stain is by applying pressure to the stain and removing the paper towel or cloth, repeatedly.
If the juice stain is still visible, mix ¼ teaspoon of carpet shampoo with one liter of warm water in a bucket. Stir the solution.
Apply the solution directly to the stain. Blot the stain with the towel repeatedly.
Rinse the juice stain with warm water. Place a clean, dry towel over the stain and place a heavy object over the towel to hold it in place. This will help apply continuous pressure to the affected area when you're wondering how to remove juice stains from carpet.
Wait a few hours before removing the towels and object. Eventually, the stain should no longer be visible.

Removing juice stains from carpet can also be achieved using this do-it-yourself method:

Using a paper towel or clean cloth, blot up as much of the stain as possible, as mentioned above.
Take a neutral dishwasher detergent and mix it with a cup of warm water. Apply this onto the fruit juice stain and blot.
Mix 2/3 cup of water with ½ cup of white household vinegar. Pour this solution into a spray bottle, and apply directly to the stain.
Repeat step 2 using the dishwasher detergent.
Clean the affected area using tap water and a damp paper towel. Apply dry towels to the area and place a heavy object on top of the towel for a few hours.
If the fruit juice stain is still visible after a few hours, moisten the stained area with a bit of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Let this sit for one hour. Repeat until stain is removed.
Apply more paper towels, and then weigh them down with a heavy object.
