I have coffee stains on my carpet and I tried the detergents on that. I also tried the steam cleaning on that but that is also not much effective.. now I am thinking to call a cleaning service provider to get the upholstery cleaning, guys tell me if there is any other way to clean those strains.

Buy a new carpet?

If it were me I'd try to find the same carpet and buy a piece big enough to replace just the stained area. Then just nail/staple/glue it down and vacuum or steam clean the rest of the carpet so it all looks the same.

move the couch on top of it, buy a rug, put the cat or baby there, rip the whole carpet up and have timber floors?

Buy a new carpet?

Not cheap. At all. NOOB

Do what Flight did and replace the area much cheaper. Buying a whole new carpet depending on you house size and the type of carpet is at-least $2000 (gotta pay the 4-5 people to come out there, rip up your old carpet put in the new, you also have to pay for the new carpet (duuh)) Costed boink.

Stains on carpet should be removed as earliest as possible. Stains affected area should be rinsed thoroughly. Use the detergents that are specially made for the stain marks.

You thought about hiring out a carpet cleaner for a day or two? Cheaper than getting someone else to do it, and much cheaper than a new carpet.

Carpet

1. Blot up as much of the spilled coffee as possible.

2. Use plain water or mix one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water.

3. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with plain water or the detergent/ vinegar solution. Apply a little bit at a time, blotting frequently with a dry cloth until the stain disappears.

4. If using a detergent/vinegar solution, sponge with cold water and blot dry to remove the solution.

Edit: Maybe bleach it, if the carpet is white or like a tide stick (or something like that)

Very useful! Thanks

Speaking about the carpets cleaning, it is necessary to mention the fact that a lot of cleaning companies offer this service. For instance, when i ordered EMOP for cleaning my room, I didn't know about it. But they told me about their area of work and I asked them to complete this task, as well. The result was brilliant.
