If it's polyester, then it's unlikely to change colors (unless it's just that dirty).

Try and get it to dry as quickly as possible afterwards.

I think you’ll have very good luck cleaning it yourself.

But still always good to test just in case.

You should be able to rent a carpet cleaner from Home Depot, and maybe Publix.
