Though I haven't tried on stains like this, I have found hydrogen peroxide to be very effective on other stains. I have used on blood, urine, and puppy throw up with great results. Doesn't fade carpet, and is cheap! Just pour/ squirt on entire stain and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Use clean white cloth to blot up or if you have a spot carpet cleaner those work great to suck up the moisture.
For the rust stains, try "Iron Out" , you'll find it on Amazon and most big box stores...it's a powder, make a paste and apply to the rust stains. I would probably start with the rust stains and then move on to the larger stain.
The wood stain will be removed with any good cleaner, IF it's water soluble. (it seems that it might be, because the stain bled onto the rug with only water as the solvent).
If the furniture stain is not water soluble, I would start with rubbing alcohol, then mineral spirits, maybe even WD40. As always, test an inconspicuous area first, use the smallest amount of cleaner possible, blot don't rub, and work on small sections at a time, to avoid making the situation worse. If the rug was wet enough (for long enough) to cause it to delaminate, the life of the rug is seriously shortened, and it will be fragile, so use care when cleaning it that you don't stretch it out of shape. Good luck!
How many areas of damage do you have? Just this one or more? Did you turn the water damage into your insurance company or self fix it? If the insurance paid for the fixing, they would pay for professional cleaning. I know it is tempting to try any and all the suggestions listed and some of them might work, but if this is a large, carpeted area and the rest is in good condition that you don't want to have to replace, I would definitely call in a professional to have it cleaned. Not worth the chance you will be taking with "home" concoctions. Clorox can ruin fibers and change (bleach or yellow) the color. Not to mention the chemical reactions that will take place with the rust/wood stain and whatever you apply. The professionals know what will work on the particular fibers and some of the above suggestions can do irreparable damage. You will save a ton in the long run by paying the pros. If this were a small, inconspicuous spot, maybe give the suggestions a try, but I certainly wouldn't risk any of them on such large areas. And these statements are not like me because normally, I am one to try just about anything. However, when it comes to carpets that will cost a fortune to replace if I screw up, I just don't think it is worth the chance. But, if you do give it a try, I wish you the best of luck and hope it turns out fabulous!
My cat knocked over a can of furniture stain my wiffe was using, leaving a huge spot on the living room carpet. After trying several expensive remedies with no luck, I tried a hint I read-- squirt foaming shave cream on the stain, work it into the carpet with a rag or brush, let it dry, vacuum up. You may have to repeat a few times. Just get the cheapest shave cream at the store, or try whatever you have on hand -- as long as it's NOT GEL. I was very skeptical, but it worked! At most, you've lost a dollar if it doesn't work for you. Good luck!
