What do you think is the best way to clean stains out of carpets? What type of chemicals do you use? I've heard that quite a lot of products leave chemicals behind in your carpet

Hire a professional.

Sarahj,

The alternative to Kens advice is to attend a few basic carpet cleaning courses, some spot and stain removal courses, equip yourself with a range of products, then spend hours practising on old carpet pieces.

Dry Cleaning Carpet

There are several variations of this method. It's worth noting that none of these involves rinsing your carpet when finished. One uses a foam that dries in your carpet and is then vacuumed up. It is debatable whether all the residue can be extracted.
Another variation uses a large cotton bonnet that spins. This is supposed to absorb the dirt in your carpet. Obviously, there are some questions as to how deeply this method can clean your carpet.
Finally, there is a compound that looks like wet sawdust. A machine brushes this into your carpet, where the dirt adheres to it. When it is dry, it is vacuumed out.
The primary reason these methods are used may be that the equipment needed costs thousands of dollars less than hot-water extraction equipment.

Yes there is lots of chemical products available but still insist to hire professional because if they makes any mistakes or spoiled your carpet you can ask for reward back or if you do your own and made any mistakes then no way to get reward back.

The best way to avoid destroying your carpet or upholstery is to call to cleaning company. They know best how to deal with the problem.

Here's an excellent way to pick up a greasy spill on your carpet: Sprinkle it with a li*ttle cornmeal and allow it to sit for five minutes. Next, sponge the area with vinegar and water.

I have never had a problem in getting out any stain as long as you get to it as soon as it happens. use chemicals, natural products or whatever, but get to it asap. I just use warm soapy water and blot the stain until it comes out and then blot dry with a clean dry towel. Works every time.

There is no need to call cleaning company every time you see stain on your carpet. You can try vinegar as JoanLee said. If this doens't work try backing soda. Cover the stain with backing soda and scrub with towel. vinegar and backing soda are natural products they can't harm your carpet

This is the good method if you need to do this on regular basics however if you need to do such cleaning only a few times yearly it is better to hire a professional because it will cost you less and they can deliver you quality job. Taking such courses can take long time however if you will use it often it worth because you can save a lot.
