Every once and a while I clean our carpets to remove multiple spots, and it seams that the same old spots keep reappearing. They will go away with a fresh carpet cleaning, but after a couple of weeks they will reappear.

Anyone know what causes this?

Odds are that it's a greasy stain. Your cleaning removes the dirt, but after a while the grease with tend to attract dirt again...in the same spot!

You can use a really good cleaner that works good on grease. For example, TSP (trisodium phosphate) dissolves grease really well, but make sure to test it in a inconspicuous spot first.

Tsp is good for removing grease spots..or you can take advice of any good dry cleaners which can remove all the spots.
