How can I clean mold and mildew from a colored carpet?

Before calling in the pros, I would pull it back to see if the padding and sub floor are also moldy. If they are, it's a total loss and you will need to remove and replace for none other than health reasons. If just topical, call in the pros to do a professional steam clean. Have lots of portable fans handy to dry quicker.

Naomi is right on. Most likely a a total loss, rarely does mold on carpet start on top.

Hi Heidi - There are several ways to get rid of mold, but most importantly, you need to address the root cause to keep it from returning. This article focuses on the bathroom, but is an overall great article that covers methods of how to remove mold, if bleach is safe to use, and how to prevent it from coming back. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
