Cleaning carpets

We are about to move out of our rented flat and have noticed a few stains on the cream carpet.
I've managed to get hair dye (brown semipermanant) in a few spots and there are a few other grubby bits that could do with a spruce up.
Anybody got any OS tips for me?

Thanks to the OS boards I've recently discovered Stardrops - magical stuff!! You can get it from sainsburys/savers/wilkinsons/morrisons (REALLY cheap about 60p) and it you dilute a couple of drops in water and use a microfibre cloth, I've found that this gets SO many stains out. I had a blusher stain (complete butter-fingers moment) on my cream carpet which wouldn't shift, Stardrops lifted it right out.
Good luck!!May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch...:D0 -
Thank you, will try and track it down tonight!0

Have given the old Stardrops and microfibre cloth duo. The stain has been lifted slightly but its still there. Any further tips?0

I get my stains out with warm water and bicarb of soda. works on just about anything0

Thanks Waterlilyann, there is a big blusher stain on my bedroom carpet which I inherited when I moved in so I'll see if Stardrops and a microfibre cloth will zap that. Prob been there too long though.0
