Don't steam-clean your carpets. It'll ruin the pile, (what little there is) Use Dr Beckman carpet cleaner, this should take out most stains, even rust-stains. I've used this stuff many times on all types of carpet. Best way to use this stuff is in a wet vacuum cleaner with double doses. Works wonders. Get the stuff on-line, in a usual bottle with a brush-thing on top. I think it's quite expensive.
