My carpet is 8 yrs old. Its dirty, I already hired some professional carpet cleaners but the dirty color is still there. It was a Cream color before, now its like brown-ish or something like that. Any suggestions? I do not want to buy new carpet, I dont have the money for that right now.

Sounds like you hired the wrong professional cleaners, they did not pretreat. Need to hire a professional that guarantees their work, uses pretreat, and uses steam extraction with high heat and good suction. Good cleaning with good chemicals will clean any staining. The carpet also needs to dry quickly, else the staining will wick back. The surface is the last part to dry, and the dampness will pull any leftover dirt up from the padding.

First off what kind of carpet is it? You should defiantly hire a professional. If cost is an issue the you probably won't get one. Truck mounted equipment is a must, and NO splash and Dash service.

If it's been years since it's been professionaly cleaned you might have it done one or two more times and keep on it at least once a year.Mines same color and I have it done twice ayear. Call around for pricing.Nice inexpensive rugs help in high traffic areas.
