I would use steam not some harsh cleaner cause that might discolor it.

Just get a steam cleaner or get one of those bissel cleaners and dont mix the cleaner with it just use the hot water that it makes would be my choice.

Dont know I have always used steam cleaners on my stuff cause the cleaners and stuff can actually set the stain in if you don tget it out.

My mom used to have this small rug shampoo machine...I think it was actually called the "Little Green Clean Machine". I used it on my black carpet in my 71 Camaro and the burgundy carpet in my 85 Monte SS. Just used whatever kind of soap that was made for the machine and it seemed to work pretty good.
