I've tried Vanish on some carpet stains, and it doesnt work.

I've tried the foam you get for a pound in pound shops. It does
nothing
on its own but if you spray it on the carpet followed by a kettleful
of
hot water and then foam that up with a dishbrush, then squeegee the
foam
out of the carpet with the scraper end of the dishbrush, it's quite
effective on some things, but not alas brown shoepolish on a cream
carpet.

These are skills are predecessors had; try Mrs Beeton, she has a whole
range of carpet cleaning goodies to recommend and explain.
