    First, try out the treatments provided in this article. Use the dishwashing solution first. If that doesn't work, use a diluted vinegar solution. However, don't over-saturate the carpet. Since the stain is old, let the solution sit on the stain for at least 10 minutes. Then, try to blot out the stain. If the stain is still there, you can try a stronger cleaner, like Oxi Clean Carpet Stain Remover. Test the cleaner in a small, hidden location before you apply it in a visible spot.

    Lucozade is often very hard to remove. If you want to clean the stain yourself, you'll likely need a carpet shampoo and a carpet cleaning machine. However, your best bet is to hire a professional carpet cleaner to remove the stain.

    Mix about 4 drops of dishwashing liquid and the equivalent of a cup of warm water in a bowl. Put some warm water on the stain with a spray bottle. You could also dab the stain with a damp sponge. Be careful not to soak the carpet when spraying the stain, otherwise the stain may spill out.
