How long have the stains been there...and fair to assume they're organic?

Resolve is a great recommendation, but depending on the severity - material and length of time it's been there - you may have some work ahead of you. Might be worth considering extraction. Even something like the Bissell Little Green is pretty darn effective, or you could just go to a pro if you're not up to the work yourself.

Stains can be tricky - even if the cleaner is color safe, through the agitation and reaction necessary to remove the stain you may risk lightening the area.

FWIW, I generally use either 303 Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner or Woolite Carpet Cleaner, as well as the Little Green. Good luck...

Folex spot cleaner. you can get it by the gallon at lowes, generously apply to spot at full strength and work in with your fingers. extract with a little green, follow with hot water extraction if needed.

Wesley Burks made another great recommendation. I always forget about Folex. Many detailers I know use the stuff and highly recommend it.

Sorry to hear your efforts thus far haven't produced any success. Check the instructions for whatever product you're using, but sometimes letting it dwell for a bit before agitating can really help. Good luck...

Resolve with a damp towel works for me. Also your local John Deere dealership sells a carpet cleaner that works well.
