How can I tell if the carpet in my apartment was recently cleaned?
The management office for our apartment told us the carpets would be cleaned a few days before we moved in. Yesterday (Sunday) was our move-in day, however, the carpets don’t look as though they were cleaned yet. I called the office today and the office maintenance log says the carpets were cleaned, but I’m not sure this is accurate. How can I tell by looking at the carpets whether they were cleaned or not? There are still lots of furniture marks in the carpet and some stains. There are also no lines where the machine would have passed on the carpets. I have two small children who literally live on the floor all day, so I want to be sure the job was done right!
How to clean stain on a beige carpet?
There are various stains on my carpet and I’d like to clean them all. The carpet is beige so I don’t want to take chances with hardcore cleaning products, if possible more natural ones or homemade tips that won’t risk discoloring the carpet.

Best way to get rid of tough stains on carpet?
I’m currently renting an apartment and I have some stains on the carpet. I spilled a bottle of water on my printer and some of the ink got on the carpet a few weeks ago and today I split mustard.
I’ve tried detergent, peroxide and vinegar but the gray carpet is still kinda yellow. What products should I try? Should I also try a steam carpet cleaner? My parents have one, but I need to know if it’s worth the drive. I’ve head mustard is impossible to get out.
Thanks!

How often does carpet need to be replaced in apartments in Illinois?
We have lived in the same apartment for 3 years in Schaumburg, Illinois and we will be moving out in November. The carpet is very light and after 3 years it has picked up so many stains and discolorations that will not come out. We don’t want to lose our security deposit over the carpet having to be replaced.
