Since anti freeze is water soluble, why not soak in some warm water and then pull it all out with a shop vac?

I just totally rebuilt my old 87 Saab for a friend's son, and when it came time to fill it w/ coolant, I used the Audi Blue as I had a few gallons. The heater hose connection leaked, and turned his drivers carpet a nasty deep blue color. I poured a bunch of very hot Oxyclean like solution on it, gave it about 5 min, and shopvac'd it out. Still kinda bluish, but got 90% of the color out...carpet's nice and clean though....Tom
