Mike, you didn't mention any dwell time. also what cleaning sol did you use?
when you prescrub with your Oreck perhaps that is drying the cleaning sol out??
other than those questions, perhaps a 175 just isn't aggressive enough compared to an OP...i doubt they are.
reminds me of when i first started encap'ing on CGD...i used a Host with Encap Clean. results were abysmal. i almost gave up on encap right then and there.
fortunately i invested in proper equipment (Cimex with Encap Clean again) and the difference was night and day.
so perhaps a 175 just doesn't cut it on those tougher areas, idk i have never used one on carpet. but i do know how aggressive an OP can be and i find it hard to believe a 175 can be THAT aggressive.
