I also found some of it really hard to remove as it had been on the carpet so long and was attatched to the fibres..

Dave, try this one, I sometimes use it with great care when all else fails. "Siroflex trade strength UPVC cleaner", bought from my local D.I.Y., also removes rust marks @ £4.85 for 500ml.  Also, try a steam gun after the obligatory test in an inconspicuous area. Hope it helps, Mike
