That method works wonders on CGD carpet, unless there is an underlying problem, not related to your cleaning.
I remember one facility that had installed glue down, rubber backed, carpet tiles. The only problem was a combination of a little too much glue and moisture coming from the sub-floor. No, even the one Rick uses, technique would completely stop all spots from wicking back. We used portables, truckmounts, bonnet, CIMEX w/LST (will before the current CIMEX craze), even a Von Schrader Mach 12. Now that Mach 12 could clean a lot of carpet per hour.
Of course this was in the age before modern polymer-based encapsulation products were available.
