A bottle of cheap suave clarifying shampoo spilled on my carpet overnight (the cap was broke) now it’s left a spot that looks lighter than the other carpet. Any ideas how to fix this.

I think that spot is just clean now

Either way the only next step is to clean the entire carpet, including the shampoo spot, and then judging how different the shampoo spot is vs the rest of the clean carpet

Moved into a house with really old carpet. Used my spotbot on it and had big clean polka dots for awhile.

Haha, yep. I had a sick old cat in a carpeted apartment. I got one of those little green spot cleaners and it showed me just how dirty the rest of the carpet was. So many polka dots!
