Beware of Orangeina!

I was at a friend's house today. She was really upset because her son had tipped a glass of orangina on her carpet. You would not believe the stain it had left and it will not shift with anything! It is a huge dark brown stain.

We don't have it in our house, but I had no idea of the damage it could do if spilt on a carpet.

God, I haven't seen Orangina in years! Or sunkist for that matter...although it still seems to be in hospital vending machines nationwide (BB Date circa 1992 I should imagine.)

Freaky I've just finished a bottle (complete with orangey bits). We bought a pack when we were in France the other week, reminishing our childhoods.

Lucozade has the same effect!:mad: Friend of DS1 spilt a bottle on DS1's cream bedroom carpet a while ago and nothing seems to shift it. Aaarrrgggghhh! Especially as I've never let my own kids take anything except water upstairs....

If it does that to upholstery, I dread to think what it does to your innards!

She may be covered for this on her household contents insurance. Worth a check

I like Orangina for my son as it is one of the few fizzy drinks you can buy that is artifical additive free - however I shall make sure he drinks it at the table rather than laid on the floor watching TV.

Cheers for that. (y)

Could have been worse. Could have been Tizer!

Hi Guys - not that I'm repetitive but ... Stardrops! It's amazing what it will shift! Failing that how about soda water? Sorry if this doesn't help.

When someone spilt limeade on our beige carpet - lovely green stain - a friend's mother suggested rubbing it with Pampers baby wipes and it did shift most of it. Don't know if other brands would work.
