Grubby Marks on Cream Carpet

[jen78]

I moved into a new flat recently and there are some grubby marks on the dark crem (wth small brown specs) carpet.

Anyone got any good tips to remove them without making it look worse (ie making the rest of the carpet around it look grubbier) or have any tips on where and how much it would cost to hire a decent carpet cleaner.

Thanks :)

I spot clean with vanish carpet mousse. does not leave pale rings but then I suppose that depends on how grubby the rest of the carpet is.!!

That's what I'm afraid of finding out lol :)

Thanks for the tip :)

It might be worth hiring a carpet cleaner and doing the whole lot...

Get a hunky bloke round to do it for you... clean the carpet that is...! lol

A good carpet or rug cleaner is sparkling water especially Perrier.
