Carpet cleaning recommendations?

Hello
We have a cream carpet and a very fluffy muck magnet cat!
I had the carpet cleaned last year but it didn’t make much difference...I don’t know if it was just the company that did it didn’t make a very good job of it or if once a carpet gets spots of coffee and occasional kitty posset on it that it simply won’t come clean. Bicarb doesn’t clear it either.
Can you recommend a carpet cleaner, spray or machine to make it all look good again? Thank you

I spot clean my light beige carpet with 50% white vinegar, 50% warm water and a dash of Fairy. Wipe with a wrung out cloth, the way the pile goes. Hoover when dry.

I had a cream carpet that must have been at least 20 years old and I was able to keep it pristine with a home carpet washer, I’ve aleays used Vax ones, but there’s a few different ones.

This is despite at least 15 full cups of (strong) coffee, various other dirt and even a complete plate of spaghetti Bolognase being dropped on it over the years.

I would recommend a better carpet cleaning company (yes there may be some stains that’s are completely irresolvable, but I honestly can’t see coffee being one of them), then investing in a carpet cleaning machine for you to maintain and clean up after any accidents - I’ve always had one.
