Have you tried a product for dry cleaning? Wool is wool,right,so we have clothes made of wool and it needs to be dry cleaned so maybe that's a new angle. So your entire carpeted floor is a wool carpet, wow that's expensive and I don't blame you for wanting to keep it,if push comes to shove I would have a professional come in and having it down. If it's an area rug send it out and have it done that's what I did. Wool has natural properties that repel stains if dealt with right away,sounds like you may have inherited this problem,maybe a new home for you or you didn't notice it until it got to this point.
Try some cleaners made for pet stains....
I had good luck on pet stained carpet using baking soda & hydrogen peroxide. It cleaned the stain so well I had to do the entire room. I sprinkled (I used an old parmesan cheese container as a shaker) a good coverage of baking soda in about a 2 ft square area at a time. I diluted hydrogen peroxide 50/50 with water and filled a spray bottle. I sprayed the solution on the baking soda and worked it into the carpet fibers with a damp sponge (wear gloves). Let dry (may take a couple days) and vacuum.
