On crazy heavy dirty commercial carpet ...
HWE and then encap.
Why is that the best approach?
Because a very thorough HWE will hopefully reduce the level of crud in the carpet. I use the word "reduce" because NOTHING will totally unload all of the crud in a trashed commercial carpet. And since you're attempting to clean such a heavy soil load in the carpet, some residue will invariably remain following the HWE cleaning, thus wicking will likely occur. To correct the wicking, come back a day or two after the HWE cleaning and provide a follow-up post-encap cleaning. The follow-up post-encap cleaning will help to eliminate the wicking. Encap-HydrOx will perform extremely well for that post-encap cleaning. Because of its acidic nature and strong hydrogen peroxide, it will work to neutralize the wicking residue. Performing this dual approach can go a long way toward improving a trashed commercial carpet. Of course you will also need to price the job accordingly.
