Default carpet cleaning help/suggestions

ok, on my way to work this morning, i did my usual - eat oatmeal, grab some vitamins, an grabbed my protein shake - everything's cool. put my stuff in the car, drove off all happy, then...i parked. as i got my stuff out to walk inside, i noticed a lil brown wet spot on my passegner seat. as my heart raced, sweat poured out as a female pig in heat. it was then that i realized the lil air hole on the top of my protein shaker was uncapped, releasing the foul liquid and staining my seats! these arent *huge* stains, but they are there...and i dont want them there.

any suggestions on cleaner or are stains usually pretty hard to get out of these seats?

Oxy 10 stuff you see on tv and can buy at walmart. Put some in a bucket, hit it with the garden hose full blast. Use ONLY the foam on the top, and scrub like heck. It will come out. This is what most detailers use.

i guess tuff stuff may be able to get this out. i think oxy clean may be a bit strong/potent for this stain, and i dont want it to stain my seats a different color.. then again, im praying this tuff stuff wont do that either.

thanks for the info/tip guys!
