Actually it is light gray carpet, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get it cleaned, thought about dying it but I was afraid it might make matters worse.

If the carpet has alot of mud in it, get some interior shampoo spray it on then get a power washer get close to it and power wash it then get a rag and rub were the stains are then power wash it again, the get a shop vac and vacuum up the water and use a rag to get the rest of the stains out and to help with drying. That will also help with matted carpret.

i use dawn liquid dish soap... works good .. i had bad oil spots but it took it right up . also , if you dont get it real clean , you can try carpet paint. at any automitive car store you can buy it .. a little dab will do ya ..

I recommend Folex Carpet Stain Remover available to be picked up at your local Home Depot. Spray on, let sit shortly, scrub off, maybe a warm rag and lil bit of water afterward. Should turn out nice.
