You could try Spot Shot available at Wal Mart Home Depot Target and most grocery stores. Or try the mixes below.
Carpets/Upholstery:
1) A great non-toxic carpet stain remover is club soda. Soak spot immediately with soda and blot until the stain is gone.
2) Pet Urine on Carpets: Dab area with toweling to absorb as much as possible, wash spot with liquid dish detergent, and rinse with 1/2 cup vinegar diluted in 1 qt warm water. Lay towels or paper towels over the spot and weight down to absorb excess moisture. Let stand 4 to 6 hours, then remove toweling, brush up nap and allow to dry completely. Use an electric fan to speed drying.
3) Red wine stains can be removed from carpet by rubbing baking soda in and vacuuming.
4) Sprinkle cornstarch onto carpet, vacuum.
5) To remove grease spots from carpets, first sop up the liquid with a sponge, then rub a liberal amount of baking soda into the spot. Let it absorb overnight. Next day, remove the excess and vacuum the area.
6) To remove grease spots from carpets, first absorb excess with a sponge, then rub a liberal amount of corn starch into the spot. Let sit overnight, then vacuum.
7) Dry cornstarch sprinkled on rug and vacuumed.

OxyPower made by Fantastik works wonders on carpet spots. Be careful though, the spot-cleaned area may get cleaner than the rest of the carpet.

Depends on what your spots are from. I usually use my windex and a wet rag to spot clean all my carpets. A carpet cleaning professional that I use to hire to clean my industrial floors suggested it and I have been using it ever since. He also warned me not to use the spray on cleaners, they apparently only clean the surface and leave a residue causing dirt to stick in that same spot.
