To spot clean: First blot the stain out as much as you can with a dry cotton towel or white paper towel. Next scrape off with a dull knife any food on the rug. Then mix a drop of Joy, Polmolive, or whatever you do dishes with at the sink in a cup of cool water. Spots and stains are easily removed with a wet sponge and the soap solution and then blotting the area with a dry towel.
