To remove stains from the carpet, there are several solutions which will work. For simple stains like spots, a little vinegar on a damp cloth will get it out. For a deeper stain from soda or juice, a carpet cleaning product such as Resolve or Nylac will likely be necessary. If you don’t happen to catch a stain right away, it becomes much harder to remove. In addition, some stains will have a lingering odor even if you remove them, such as pet stains. Normal stain removers will not get the odor out, and you will need a stain remover designed to target the odor as well (typically available at pet stores).
Some stains from substances like coffee which have been in the carpet for a long time can’t be removed except by a professional steam cleaner. This is the most expensive option, and should be a last resort.
