Default Carpet Stain...I need help!

Over the weekend on Saturday, I went to my friends shop to use his steamer. I needed to clean the area around the dead pedal. I was doing this in the garage. I put a yellow MF towel around the steam brush and went to town on the stain. Then, I left to go vacuum the inside and realized that the MF towel along with the steamer left a yellow stain where I was cleaning. My friend had closed his shop already so I couldn't go back and clean it again. Then I went to walmart to get some resolve and tried the stuff on the yellow stains and it didnt work at all. Later, when I get off of work at 5pm, I'm going back to his shop to steam it again using a white towel.

Will the yellow stain come out with the steamer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The car is an '06 GS430 with gray interior/carpet.

if its the yellow towels from costco or place like that then the dye transfer i believe. I have some and when I soak them in the sink, they put a yellowing tint on some of my other towels so now I only do them seperate.
