In need of a deep carpet cleaning aid

Roni.Cedra

I won't rent a rug doctor or similar unless I HAVE to. 

Background:

We rearranged the furniture in our living room, revealing that DH is not a neat eater/drinker and on the carpet where the couch used to be is a HUGE dark spot. I lightened it a little with oxy powder, but now it just looks weird.

What is your favorite cleaner for carpets?

I love Folex....got Sweet Potato baby vomit out of our light beige carpeting.

I've used Spot Shot successfully but have heard Resolve w/oxy works good too (which I just bought and haven't needed to try it yet). Spot Shot worked well especially after my husband knocked his coffee off of the faux end table (aka tv tray) a few days ago and our beige carpet is beige again.

I don't like cleaners because they always seem to attract the mess back.  I bought a green machine and it's been great for little stains and spills (which are inherent with a kid)

This sounds funny, but Nature's Miracle (for pet messes).  It's the only thing I've used where the stain actually stays away.  I've used it on non-pet stains as well.

This made me lol. You learn things being a mom, don't you? That said, we got bright orange cat antibiotic vomit off our mint green carpet with Resolve.

Spot Shot or Folex has worked well for me. If you know someone with a Rainbow vac you can use the water extractor with a little cleaner and it will work great! Hoover makes a really good carpet cleaner. My parents have it and all you really need is really hot water and it gets a lot of smells and dirt out of your carpet. We used it in our apartment in it worked great.

Folex! We used in our disgusting carpet in our rental house in college. It works serious miracles! You can use it in a carpet cleaner too.
