Soot is very oily so use Simple Green, 3 parts to one part water.
Also try shaving creme not the gel kind but the foamy cheap stuff!
Try in an inconspicuous place first to test colorfastness.
Both work very well.
I have heard of useing Hydrogen Peroxide but I have not used it myself!
Hope this helps!
By the way NEVER use store rental machines! Whatever they had on their carpet will get on your carpet. The brushes are not cleaned between customers! I had bad exp.

Spot Shot. It's a blue can w/ an orange lid. Spray it on the spot, put a white washcloth over it, and let it sit for awhile. Scrub, repeat. I had black printer ink leak onto my light carpet when I moved into my house. It sat there for over a week (under something, so I didn't see it), and it all came out. It took a few times to get it all out though.

Did you drop some ashes ? Rent a steam cleaner from...............( some grocery markets) or use some dish soap to scrub it then use water, don't soak it through the padding, then suck it up with a wet / dry vacuum to rid the soap.

Vinegar and water is supposed to get lots of stains out.
