Cleaning the rug in the boat

For spots on my toon carpet plain old windex works great even on grease stains! Not for the whole carpet however...

When I had carpets built into the boat. I use a commercial carpet cleaner and a pressure washer. The boat was in the driveway so I had the water drain into the bilge and out the bilge drain.

I have snap in carpet and it is great! I would go to the laundromat and wash them with laundry detergent in the commercial washer. Works great!

How about cleaning an all wool rug that's loaded with cat hair or cat dander yucky stuff? My old Starcraft aluminum utility boat came with an all wool rug, about 5 x 7', in the main salon. What's a product that can be do-it-myself sprayed into the rug and then vacuumed away? Something not too pricey like Woolite and something which really works on the yucky cat stuff without resorting to removing it to a rug cleaner biz ?
