Question:

How do I get stains out of carpet?

I have a new beige carpet that is about 1 year old. I have some stains from a dog. I used Woolite Heavy Traffic and vacuum but it really did not work. The carpet looks darker than the rest of the carpet. What can I use to make the carpet clean again?

Answer:

try rinsing after cleaning. Use clear water. The soap left a residue so the carpet got dirtier faster.
In spite of two dogs, I kept cream and beige carpets looking good for years using Zoflora disinfectant diluted in warm water. You have to get down on hands and knees and rub it in sparingly in circles with a cloth and then not walk on the carpet until it dries. It comes in pleasant flower fragrances and is very cheap.
Take charge of the home. Do not let the dog/animal run the place. The carpet is now a year old and it's time for a professional hot water extraction carpet cleaning. All professional carpet/upholstery cleaners will rinse and extract the stain from the carpet after treating with a solution designed for that particular stain. Urine is bad news as it passes through the carpet, through the pad, and goes to the floor. Bacteria grow by the millions in the alkaline urine salts. It really takes a pro to remove the urine/bacteria combination from the floor,pad,carpet. They have a tool called a water claw powered by a truck mount power plant, providing treated hot water and powerful suction. I'm surprised you allowed a animal to start destroying your expensive investment in carpeting. Animals will also destroy the furniture and bedding if you continue to allow the animal to run the place.
