Another tip for cleaning wool carpet-------wool does not release soil until it is very wet. Wool area rugs will clean better when pit washing so when cleaning wall to wall wool you need to check to see if the backing is jute or latex then you will know how much moisture can be used.
The heavy traffic areas will need more solution and many more pads. The rest of the room can be done with much less solution and pads.
There are products now available to apply to a worn walk path that will add shine back to fiber. I wont get into products from other companys here just do more research on the web.
Even when cleaning nylon or polyester you will need to spend more time on heavy soiled traffic areas. Once you apply a lot of solution you may need 4-5 dry cotton micro fiber pads to remove soil. Once the pad is soaked change out pad to a dry pad. Just like using a truckmount with a wand or rotary tool you need more time and effort on a carpet that has been neglected. It is important to ask if customer cleans carpet every year or every five years then you can explain how any cleaning will only do so much.
