Below are some links to Web sites where you should be able to find professional help for removing stains from your flooring, as well as other answers to common floor care related problems.  


Carpet
Stain Removal Guide for Carpets - Sponsored by Wear-Dated - Provides general rules for stain removal.
Ceramic
Sweep or vacuum glazed tile regularly. Wash routinely using mild detergent, such as Mr. Clean. Stay away from ammonia or oil based cleaners. Rinse thoroughly using clean, warm water.
Hardwood
Sweep regularly to keep grit free. It is safe to wipe with a barely damp cloth and towel-dry. Never wet mop as standing water can cause wood to swell and buckle. Never use acrylic wax.
Laminate
Use felt pads underneath all furniture legs to avoid scratching. Vacuum regularly using soft brush attachments and wipe with a damp cloth or mop. Do not polish or wax. Do not use steel wool.
