Working a good number of filthy greasy restaurant accounts (monthly clean). Frankly cimex and encap works very good - but with limits. We eventually have to extract area periodically. I call in a steam cleaner and pay him to deep clean it. Might be good for another 6 to 8 months till I call him in again.
We have taken many restaurant accounts away from steam cleaners - (they leave the carpet wet and smelly! Bad for business.)
This is slow work - 4000sqft can require 6 to 7 manhours labor. Make sure you charge appropriately.
As for bucket heater - don't need it in most commercial restaurants - they have very hot water on tap. We don't have time to wait on bucket heaters in the tank. As long as we have water we are cleaning. We run our jobs hard an fast - and go to the next one.
