Detergent attracts dirt. This is why it's important to rinse out any cleaning solution thoroughly. This is another reason why hot water extraction gets carpet cleaner than the "dry" methods. The bottom line is that you need to rinse well when you clean carpet.One way to clean stains is with the use of a shop-vac. No, you can't just suck out the stain, but you can repeatedly wash and rinse the area, and suck out the solution each time. This is a more effective method than blotting up the water with cloth, mostly because you won't have the patience to wash, rinse and extract enough times using paper towels or cloth.Another little secret of the carpet cleaners is putting rugs outside and inside the front door. They can catch much of the dirt that people bring in on their feet. This isn't just about less vaccuuming, though. Dirt is like thousands of little blades that cut carpet fibers. The damaged carpet stains more easily then, and it's harder to remove the stains. An even better practice is to take off your shoes in the house.Ready to clean? Vaccuum first. Then, if you use one of those portable machines, at least get the water as hot as you can. Dry the carpet quickly, using fans to move the air around. You can at least lengthen the time between expensive professional cleanings, by using these carpet cleaning tips.

My little secret tip is after I clean a carpet, and it is still very wet due to the large amount of water that I use to get all the stains out is I put about an inch or 2 of pre-washed sand all over the carpet, what this does is it absorbes all the water and humidity left in the carpet and then I just dry vac it up with a shop vac.
 
You can use cat litter too but it costs too much and after it clumps you can't use it again.

I thought he/she/it was just dazed and confused and could not decide if new york or Billings Montana was where he/she/it was from and which end of the wand was the business end.

The website they have on a sucky scale of 1 to 10 is 30 for sure showing this person or persons has no talent which matches the space-for-rent sign where a brain should be.

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

I prefer the sand method too although my removal method is unique.  I use a pitching wedge or a 9 iron.  I finish the job with a leaf blower.
