Some carpets are simply a challenge! As I mentioned above though, double scrubbing works pretty well most of the time. Scrub the room first, spraying solution the entire time that you're working the machine over the carpet. Then double back over the carpet a second time - this is when the cleaning begins. On the second time over the carpet you can spray a little extra detergent (not too much though). Go ahead and make an additional pass or two or three, depending on the condition of the carpet. Be careful not to get too aggressive so that you don't distort the fiber. You can do a push/pull method, or simply walk it forward in a straight line. Soft Microglide bonnets and also the SuperZorb bonnets are what I'd recommend for residential work. But it's important to recognize that not all carpets can be resurrected. Some of them may simply be too far gone. Do your best, and under promise. In many cases you'll be able to produce some amazing results.
