I got this stuff at AutoZone or somewhere a while back to clean up a car I was going to sell. It's the best stuff I've used so far.

Soak it with whatever cleaner you want to use. Then use a wet/dry vac or something that sucks real good(local hooker will not work in this case) to vacuum it up. Will take doing this a couple times to really clean it good. The goal is to rewet the Dr. Pepper stain then suck it out. I've had good results using a bowl of hot water, some type of liquid cleaner diluted in the water and a basic scrub brush. Dip the brush in the hot water and scrub the spot. A couple of times doing this then hit it with the vacuum. Don't be afraid of getting it to wet. You've already done that with the DP(thats Dr. Pepper not double penetration). Repeat.

Happy cleaning!
