There is an old stain, it might be lipstick on a white carpet. They have tried to remove and there is still a large spot. If anyone has an idea I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

If it's an old embedded stain, it would be rather impossible to remove from the rug.
Check your laundry aisle for a liquid bleach for colors called Vivid. Mix about 2 tbsp per cup of water, spray on the area and allow to sit overnight if possible. Use a damp cloth then a dry cloth to blot up. I have used this with a great deal of success. Hope it helps!
Hi Jackie,
First try shaving cream. If that doesn't work, try Windex. Both are marvelous for removing carpet stains.
Mix white vinegar and liquid dish soap in small container. Use a brush to apply to spot and scrub. I have found this takes a lot of small spots out.
I have used degreaser spray ( like WD40 ). As brilliant as WD40 is it smells terrible and overpowering so use a degreaser which tells you it is citrus smell or similar.
I saw this on UTube so I hope the person giving the information will forgive me in the interests of disseminating information.
Good Luck.
