Yes.

Don't let anyone tell you that your carpet must be spot-free all the 
time. If it's sanitary and not butt-ugly, it's good enough for most of 
the world (especially when they find out you have grandkids).

At the risk of sounding a bit overbearing, I have to point out that 
carpets ARE MADE TO BE WALKED ON. They live under us all the time, and 
we are not spotless people (at least, I'm not). Carpet-cleaning 
companies would have you believe that your carpet should look as it did 
the day it was installed, and if you're into that, it's fine -- but *I* 
certainly don't have the money for it.

So when you get a couple of big grape-juice stains that can't be hidden 
by furniture, sure, rent a steamer.
