For Felt Tips - Water-based ink can expunge by using carpet shampoo. If you were using spirit-based ink, you will need to apply the methylated spirit. This should get the ink out well.
For Pet stains - Any pet stains can be removed easily. Blot repeatedly until the carpet is almost dry to the touch and the carpet stain is removed. Then use a carpet cleaner to remove further.
For Coffee - Coffee spills happen, to remove, try the mixture of vinegar, water, and a gentle, non-bleach detergent first with the spritzer method. You can then rinse and repeat.
For Carpet Refresh - A complete carpet refresh is always handy. Lightly sprinkle on baking soda and work it into a pile with a soft brush. Let it sit for 15 -30 minutes before vacuuming. Make sure the vacuum canister is empty.
For Blood - Broken glasses and smashed plates happen, sometimes, you just can’t avoid these often tiny but pesky stains. Apply cold water, then blot with a clean cloth. Repeat until the stain is gone.
For Candle wax - Rub an ice pack on the wax until it hardens. Gently break up the wax, then vacuum up the pieces
For Chocolate - Use a dull knife to scrape away as much chocolate as possible. If the chocolate is melted, place a resealable plastic bag filled with ice cubes over the stain to harden the remaining chocolate before scraping. Vacuum the area to pick up any loose flakes or pieces.
For Gum - Peel away as much gum as you can. Harden the remaining gum by placing a resealable plastic bag of ice cubes over it. Chip gum away with a spoon or dull knife. Vacuum and clean lingering stains with a dry-solvent carpet cleaner.
