Use boiling water and/or your favorite soap, suck dry, then repeat with boiling water to rinse. I use one of those bissel cleanmachines and its luke warm water, but use boiling water when I have a tough spot. The problem with the cleaners like "spot shot" is that they leave behind residues which will attract dirt. It'll look clean for a few weeks, but the spots will return. |

Best way to get spots out of a tan carpet? From experience please. TIA Lou There can be no one "best" way. Different materials, different spots different levels of accpetable removal etc. After you have tried the best cleaning attempt at cleaning and failed to meet the minimal accpetable results, then you are into step II. In step II you remove a portion of the carpet and replace it. Maybe you can find some in a closet. Then you may need to "wear" the new piece a bit to blend it in with the older carpet. |

Of course they have a truck mounted machine that costs $150,000, but they also use a variety of products to treat different types of spots.

Thanks Lou I'm back after spending several hrs this morning cleaning the carpet with a Hoover "steam" cleaner, which uses no steam. Even so, The overall look of the carpet is much better than before, although there are still some dark spots that I'll try some of the suggestions from this thread on. I want to give it overnight to dry thoroughly, and then I'll try the hands-and-knees approach with a scrub brush and some of the recommended cleaners. Club soda is intriguing, because now I remember my father using club soda on pesky stains. I'll let you know how it goes. Keith |

You remind me of co-workers that spend more energy trying to get out of work rather than just going ahead and doing the work in the first place. In your case the work is describing the specifics with a few keystrokes. The energy expended to get out of work would be your multiple posts telling people they are not helpful. |

Makes sense but for "most" (not all) stains, the best answer is how fast you can clean it up. In my experiences, even the professionals aren't always able to remove all stains tho they usually do better than I can. |

Anyhow, this carpet is over a nice old hardwood floor, so pouring boiling water on it would frighten me. I worry enough about spills getting thru the carpet and backing to the floor |
