Buy a Bissell carpet cleaner, around $200 and Amazon will deliver. We have a large one (for annual deep cleaning) and a small one (for spot cleaning). These are home versions of the carpet shampoo'ers that you can rent, and work well. There are limits, if you've spilled ink then don't expect it to come up, but for normal dirt and stains, you should be able to get them out or mostly out. No need to move carpet, you clean in place.
