<human>:  How do I clean a stained carpet?
<bot>: The first step in cleaning a stained carpet is to identify the type of stain and then select an appropriate cleaning solution. For example, use a combination of dish soap and water to spot clean smaller stains or an enzymatic cleaner for pet stains. Once the cleaning solution is selected, apply it to the stained area and gently rub the stain to loosen it. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb the liquid. If the stain is still visible, apply the cleaning solution again and repeat the process until the stain is gone. Afterwards, use a wet-dry vac or fan to dry the carpet thoroughly.
