The key to effective OP/Bonnet cleaning is to give it sufficient dwell time, using a good detergent, and using a good bonnet/pad. On a soiled carpet, adequate dwell time helps a lot. Spray the carpet with the Releasit. Let it sit for a few minutes.Then it's ready for cleaning.
Here's an approach that I like to use: With an orbital machine that has an onboard sprayer such as the HOS or the Vario, I like to run over a section of carpet first spraying the carpet with detergent as I scrub the carpet quickly. Allow that pre-sprayed & pre-scrubbed portion of the carpet to have some dwell time in order to penetrate the soil. Then go back over the carpet again using good quality microfiber or Superzorb bonnets. The actual cleaning takes place the second time over the carpet.
This two step approach works well, especially on soiled residential carpet. The initial pre-spray and pre-scrub helps to get the carpet in a good condition for cleaning. That way you can get the carpet clean without overworking the carpet with too much agitation.
