I've used 409 with oxy magic. (It has oxy clean added to it)on my seats and rug. It got every stain out and brought the seats back to the original color. It even got dirt out i didnt see. Like after i thought the seat was clean i sprayed it once more and when i rubbed it with a clean white cloth the cloth turned brown!

Before i used the stuff my rug was dirt brown and my pass side seat looked like someone spilled coffee on it. Now they are back to the oem color.
Works very good.

i got one warning for you if you take the carpect out to have it steam cleaned, it will more than likely shrink. we had a problem like this with our 1996 olds, the carpet was cleaned and then it shrunk. I say try the oxy clean and then if that isnt to your liking clean it in the car or buy a new carpet.
