HELP!!! Orange stain on cream wool rug

Options
I hope someone can help me. My youngest spilt sweet and sour sauce on my wool cream rug. I have tried every stain remover going (including stardrops!) but its still there, laughing at me.

Any ideas gratefully received!!

    Have you tried vanish in the spray bottle? Thats what I use on our beige carpet.I bought the bottle when we put the carpet down about 2 years ago and there is still loads even though we do spill things sometimes.Most recently it was printer ink.Took about 6 goes in a row and it was gone.
    Its had black grease from OH's motor bike boot on it once too.

    I'm on about my 4th lot of vanish power shot so perhaps should persevere!! Its my own fault really - dark blue carpet that shows every crumb and cream rug that shows every stain. I think wood flooring is the way to go!!

    Have you tried Stain devil's no 6 ( supposed to be for red wine etc ?) I used this yesterday on a dried in red wine stain on a cream carpet which i had cleaned with every product i had in the house ( and that was a lot ) . I was simply amazed at the result as I had given up ever getting it clean. It says it will remove fruit juice too.

    Try a carpet cleaner called Release - I think its available online from a company called Premier Products. It shifted a Bacardi Breezer stain from our beige carpet. If there was any red food colouring in that sauce it might take a few attempts.
    I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.
