Carefully vacuum the stained area to pick up any loose dirt, dust, or particles that could interfere with the cleaning process or spread the stain. Next, and this is a crucial step for preventing damage, take one of your prepared homemade solutions and spray a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet (e.g., in a closet or under a piece of furniture). Let it sit for a few minutes, then blot with a clean white cloth. Check for any color bleeding or damage to the carpet fibers. If no adverse reaction occurs, the solution is safe to use on your main stain.
