Help! Dirty beige carpet. Guests coming tomorrow.

Can anyone help with advice? Pale beige sitting room carpet. The entrance into the room is quite discoloured from not being vacuumed often enough (long story), and there are also particular small marks - brown but I don't know what caused them, though definitely not food or drink, and we don't have pets. Does anyone know a reliable way to make it look decent by tomorrow? The sofa upholstery (light grey) also looks a little grubby where DH lies on it a lot. Thanks very much for any advice.

damp/wet cloth with washing up liquid and clean the spots. It will be dry by tomorrow. Rub it in then clean it off with another damp cloth

They do that thing with bicarb and lemon on a saucepan lid covered with a cloth on sofas .
look on you tube . Seems to work well .
or washing up liquid water on a cloth ring out well cover saucepan lid ( the flat side ) slide it around . Nb sofas take ages to dry so make sure only damp

Otherwise buy a rug and some cushions and hope for the best.
