How to remove nasty stains from carpets

Wax stain
Scrape the wax off as much as possible. Cover the stain with brown paper. With a warm iron, press on the stain making sure it is not too hot to burn the carpet. Iron the stain until the wax transfers from the carpet onto the brown paper.  Use fresh brown paper when necessary.  
Urine/ Feces/ Animal Stain
Blot the stain and apply the water-dish washing liquid solution as mentioned above using a wet cotton cloth. Blot the excess liquid up as much as possible. Apply a solution of one part household ammonia and one part water on the stain or use a solution of one part white vinegar and one part water.   Blot with paper towels.  Repeat as necessary.
