Semen stains usually dry clear or creamy in appearance. Shampooing your carpet (steam cleaning) should get it out. If you don't want to do that then go to a hardware store and ask them what their best carpet spot cleaner is. I use "Zep", but live in Canada and I buy it at Home Depot. If you have a Home Depot near you (I think it's an American company) then get that one.
To clean an old stained carpet, start by dabbing the stain with a mixture of water and dish soap. Blot the area with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, use a mixture of vinegar and water or a carpet cleaning solution. Always test a small, hidden area first to ensure it does not damage the carpet fibers.
To remove semen stains from bedsheets, start by blotting up as much of the stain as possible with a clean cloth. Then, rinse the area with cold water to help lift the stain. Next, apply a stain remover or a mixture of laundry detergent and water, and wash the sheets according to the care instructions.
A common solution is to combine one part white vinegar with two parts water and blot the stain with a clean cloth. You can also try using a mixture of dish soap and water or a commercial carpet stain remover. It's important to test a small hidden area of the carpet first to ensure it won't cause any damage.
You can clean old hard water stains off shower doors by using a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply the solution to the stains with a cloth or sponge, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub the stains with a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Rinse with water and dry the doors with a clean cloth.
To remove salt stains from shoes, mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture, wring out excess liquid, and gently dab at the salt stains on the shoes. Allow the shoes to air dry completely before wearing them again.
Cleaning dirty old carpet is a challenge because once dirt and sand reach the bottom of the carpet, it's almost impossible to get it out. You can clean carpets yourself with a rented carpet cleaner. These machines use two methods for cleaning: hot water extraction or an agitator brush. Preferably your machine has both. No matter how clean you keep your residence, old carpets build up stains and appear dingy. Standard cleaning brightens the carpet and removes the stains. While numerous carpet cleaning solutions and stain removers contain harsh chemicals and emit strong odors, a few common domestic products can clean your carpets efficiently.

Vacuum your carpets regularly. Clean up any spills as soon as possible by blotting them with a clean, dry cloth. Scrubbing carpets can damage the fibers.

My carpets have several old stains that are hard to remove. What is the best carpet cleaner product on the market?

Carpet Cleaners can get out many stains, but for exteme or rare stains they will have to be treated with some chemicals (mostly acidic). If you can afford it or if it is time for your carpet to be cleaned (approximately every 9 months), I suggest that you get a professional carpet cleaner. They have much more powerful equipments then the carpet cleaners that you can rent from your local supermarket. If you decide to call a carpet cleaning company make sure to mention the stain and the severity of the stain. You can get many stains out of carpets, but I've yet to find one that takes out dog urine stains (or perhaps a good old heave up if it's acidic.) Even if you manage to catch the damage done to your carpet at the time the pet urinates or coughs up bile, it gets into the foam underpad of the carpet. The best thing to do for this type of stain is get a mini (very strong) corded steam cleaner that is handy to use and get the stain up this way. Many products on the market will clean up most normal stains (even blood) with the exception of rust, mustard, spaghetti sauce (these dye the carpet quickly) tar, pet urine. You can phone a good carpet cleaning business and the can get up many other stains (at least the tar.) Go to your hardware stores for good carpet cleaners and although they are a little more expensive they will get many more stains out than the usual brand names in your grocery store. Whatever type of stain you have go on: go to google Then type in (for example) How do you get out spaghetti stains from carpets? I had red wax drip off my candle during Xmas, and it landed on my pale beige carpet. I took a warm iron and clean paper towel; put the paper towel over the wax and held the iron over it for a few seconds and continued this method until all the wax was off. Also, commercial carpet cleaners can also steam clean these stains out for you. Another great cleaner is Genesis 950. If you are looking for a carpet cleaner to remove pet stains, food stains, grease stains, dirt and dust, Genesis 950 can make your carpet look like new. You can use it in any machine, however I am partial to the Bissell Pro heat as I have had great experiences with it. The 950 is great for both old and new stains. It is also green and environmentally friendly, so you are not putting harsh chemicals in your carpet. This is a huge plus for anyone with kids or pets.

Yes.They clean it off, improve it, make it newer, and send it off.
Yes it can and get a good rug shampoo. If you are in the U.S., I don't know if you have "Home Depot" there, but they put out a great machine and also sell the best carpet shampoo called "ZEP". If your carpet is super dirty then it's best to rent a commercial steam cleaner because they do a better job than the ones the consumer can buy. It isn't very expensive and they may ask for deposit to be sure you bring it back.
