In my experience, I get excellent results with re-saturation techniques. That is, flood the obvious stains with a mixture of hot enzyme and odorcide, using a garden sprinkler.
Then shower feed the whole carpet with the same mixture (I use fiber plus here), pad it, force air with dri-pods, post vac and treat any remaining stains with two part solution.
Apprise the customer another topical odor treatment may be necessary and that its not free. Its usually not necessary.
I've done many private homes and apartments without issue.
The closest I've come to HWE is using a two gallon auto detailer (Durmaid 1600) with a medium duty wand.
I wont argue against the orthodox 'flush it' position, but its still going to need plenty of enzyme and odorcide. "Flushing' alone is often done improperly and often can spread the contamination, not mediate it.
VLM techniques have come a long way.
