Having tried various solutions on red hair dye on a green carpet, I tried using white vinegar with warm water again but much more vigourously with a silver spoon and after two applications, the stain is nothing more now than a pale brown stain. Managed to fill 2 cups with brown liquid from it and it wasn't just the dirt! If you perservere, it works!
