    Hope this helps Good Luck !

    Carpets/Upholstery:
    1) A great non-toxic carpet stain remover is club soda. Soak spot immediately with soda and blot until the stain is gone.
    2) Pet Urine on Carpets: Dab area with toweling to absorb as much as possible, wash spot with liquid dish detergent, and rinse with 1/2 cup vinegar diluted in 1 qt warm water. Lay towels or paper towels over the spot and weight down to absorb excess moisture. Let stand 4 to 6 hours, then remove toweling, brush up nap and allow to dry completely. Use an electric fan to speed drying.
    3) Red wine stains can be removed from carpet by rubbing baking soda in and vacuuming.
    4) Sprinkle cornstarch onto carpet, vacuum.
    5) To remove grease spots from carpets, first sop up the liquid with a sponge, then rub a liberal amount of baking soda into the spot. Let it absorb overnight. Next day, remove the excess and vacuum the area.
    6) To remove grease spots from carpets, first absorb excess with a sponge, then rub a liberal amount of corn starch into the spot. Let sit overnight, then vacuum.
    7) Dry cornstarch sprinkled on rug and vacuumed.

    water should do it, but it will take forever. the shampoo will just make another stain by catching the dirt if you dont get it all out

    Water, water, water. I would use a carpet cleaner with suction, or a shop vac that can pick up water. Just keep squirting water on it, picking up the soapy water… as they say, lather, rinse, and repeat!

    Good luck.

    Water.. if you have a carpet cleaner jus go over it with plain water a few times.. if not, use a scrub brush a bucket of water and a towel.. wet the area well, scrub a bit with the brush.. then use the towel to soak up some of the water and repeat..
