Recently moved and the Berber carpet has a stain. Looks like where 4 small table legs were. It's not rust...more grey in color.
I already had carpet in whole house professionally cleaned. Any suggestions for spot cleaning?

We had our carpets professionally cleaned and the guy was running around spot cleaning with a bar of Fels Naptha. It worked great! I used it in my homemade laundry detergent but was so impressed that I started using it for spot cleaning on our chairs and carpet.
Just a tip, it gets super slippery when wet, so the carpet guy had a pieces of duct tape wrapped around one end so that he could hold onto it! He initially sprayed the entire floor with water, went around and scrubbed the bar back and forth over the bad spots and left it on there as a pre treater. The carpets looked great when he was done!

Tear it up and out down some sort of wood flooring. N

Spot shot works well for us.

Spot Shot is awesome. I would also recommend Oxyclean. I used the powder. My son spilled an entire pink bowl of Easter Egg dye on the carpet and Oxyclean got that out in two seconds.

Folex is my go-to carpet spot cleaner. I've also used it on clothing and it works well.

You probably don't want to hear this but we ended up buying a $300 (on sale) Bissel carpet cleaner to get up stains from various incidents ... animals and Book Club ladies with wine  The thing is awesome and has made my life so much easier ... but it is an investment  |

Another vote for Follex. BB&B sells it.

Bleach- it worked for spot cleaning whenever we were in military housing- check in an inconspicuous area first- when I was told about it I thought I was being conned but tried it in desperation and it worked
