Unfortunately, there's no fixing red koolaid or yellow mustard stains (ask me how I know). So, best not to tempt fate
I have had real good luck with both Kool-Aid and mustard stains using Shout. A few yrs back DH had put in a light grey Berber carpet -not even 30 minutes later 3yo niece spills a 16 oz to go cup of red Kool Aid -I blotted up most of it but the red dye stayed. I squirted the day lights out of it with Shout and it all came out. It didn't do much good for my freshly painted wall. Mustard can take a few treatments depending on how old the stain is-youngest GS ate mustard like it was choco syrup and every thing the kid owned had mustard on it-Shout got even the oldest stains out. When my son was in 2nd or 3rd grade the class made Tye dyes using all the Kool Aid flavors - the shirts are 30 + yrs old and there is very little fading after all 6 kids and a zillion washing's.
