Since you spent 3 hours to clean 800 sq ft, you could very likely have used way too much water. LOW MOISTURE is the key to success! Using more solution may be tempting, but the results will be wick back. Clean it again with minimal moisture! You can use Encap-HydrOx to treat browning from wicking. Try bonnet cleaning with HydrOx.
You could plan to pre-scrub the rest of the carpet with Encap-Punch, and then post-bonnet with Encap-HydrOx. You may be aware that you should not use other products in conjunction with Encap-HydrOx. It's true, the polymer in Encap-HydrOx may be compromised somewhat if you were to use it in tandem with Encap-Punch. But it sounds like you're being called to clean what sounds like a last ditch effort to resurrect a trashed carpet. Sometimes you need to break the rules a little to get the job done.
Keep the moisture to a bare minimum. Accelerate the drying time. And use Encap-HydrOx to correct wicking/browning. I think that would be the best approach for this one.
