General Carpet Cleaning

How can I get the usual tea stains etc out of a beige carpet, it's a brand new carpet but looks old with so may dirty stains - covered with a rug!!

Very difficult, actually impossible in my experience

Not even with a VAX?

Get a specialist upholstery cleaner in.

We hired a Rug Doctor carpet cleaner to do our beige carpet in our old house, you have to pull it very slowly, but the carpet came up a treat...we did sell the house in a week so it couldn't have looked that bad!

Was about £13.00 to hire it if I remember rightly.

Should have mentioned, we hired it from Safeway (or Morrisons!) and I've also seen them for hire in Homebase.
