Need to use a “natural” versus chemical cleaner with a small steam cleaner to remove traffic area dirt, and not have it re-appear a few weeks later.

If you have a carpet cleaner that is for the home, then you can use Ivory liquid clear dish soap. It works very well, and cleans out with no effects that would harm the carpet. Use if as you would use a proper carpet shampoo.
Another one I have found works very well is ‘Busy B’ Rug and Shampoo. You can purchase if from Fields, Zellers, Walmart. for 32 fl. oz for a couple of dollars.

Tools & Chemicals:
Acetone,Dry cleaning solvent,dish washing or fine fabric detergent, white terry towels, white vinegar, warm water, measuring cup, vacuum.
Technique:
Work on removing the stain as soon as you notice it. The longer the stain is left on the carpet the greater the chances are of the stain setting.
In every case remove all excess wet or dry material before attempting to clean. Blot wet materials using a white terry towel (check helpful hints for a detailed description of blotting). Vacuum excess dry materials or gently scrape up materials with a spoon.
Apply a small amount of acetone to the white terry towel and blot the stain. Continue until no further transfer of material to the towel is apparent.
If the stain remains proceed to the next step.
Apply a small amount of dry cleaning solvent to the white terry towel and blot the stain. Continue until no further transfer of material to the towel is apparent.
If the stain remains proceed to the next step.
Mix 1/2 tsp. of dish washing soap or fine fabric detergent into 1 (8 oz.)cup of warm water.
Apply a small amount, blot or tamp and repeat until the stain is removed. Be patient. Complete removal may require repeating the same step several times. Tamp down on the carpet, do not scrub as this may distort the texture of the pile.
Cover the stain with the towel and press down repeatedly to absorb the stain material and detergent.
Once the stain is completely removed, rinse the area with cold water; blot with a dry white terry towel until all moisture is removed. Repeat this process several times to remove cleaning solution residue. (Residue can attract soils).
If the spot or stain turns brownish when dry, mix 1 part white vinegar and two parts water. Apply a small amount and blot. Repeat only once.
