Dry foam shampoo in a small bucket with light agitation is my prep for this followed by normal bonnet cleaning works for me 100% of the time.  Adds very little time to the job for me.  No extractors are brought to my jobs anymore. 

I don't do chinese restaurants or automotive waiting rooms.  I don't do water damage.  I just clean carpets the bonnet way.

This is a common cleaning challenge called filtration lines. You need a stand up 3 inch wand for comfort and products are made specifically for this application. But yes, part of the challenge is elbow grease and an extremely hot water extractor.

I recently cleaned a home that had been shut up for several years (yes) with the forced hot air heating left on. 
 
There was a border of soot 1 inch wide along the edges of all the wall-to-wall carpets with occasional fingers of soot coming into the center of the room, 6-8 inches long.
 
My bonnet cleaning method would not touch this dirt at all.  I ended up resorting to hand scrubbing with my usual encapsulating spot cleaners. The job took more than twice as long as it should have, and I worked until exhaustion.  I removed  95% of the soot in most places,  50% in others.
 
Does anybody have suggestions on how to clean in this situation?
