how big and what is the stain? or are you cleaning the whole thing?

lots of little patches which are really mucky - don't know what the stains are, but I'm already get down on my hands and knees and scrub too .

(it's one of those horrible "extra short pile" carpets so doesn't matter if I scrub the life out of it - won't leave any 'lasting' impression on it LOL).

ive found that mr muscle all purpose spray diluted in some very hot water quite good (its a pinky colour in a clear bottle). though you could try anything similar as long as it doesnt have bleach in it.

we use vanish carpet and upholstery spray which is really effective

compo - tried the Vanish carpet stuff - hopeless I'm afraid.

dab some on the end of your cloth or scrubbing brush (wet cloth/brush) and rub it into the stain. though if vanish hasnt worked this might not either as vanish is pretty strong stuff.
