Red Floor pad to clean carpets

Can anyone let me know if using red floor pad causes damage to carpets? I came across this recently and can not believe that someone would clean carpets this way. My peer's have told me that they don't believe that this is happening but i've seen it and it was not used with a Cimex machine. So i would like anyone to enlighten me on this procedure.

Thanks

If you want to ruin the texture of the yarns use a red pad on the carpet.

For a nasty restaurant yes, anything else stick with beige, white, or microfiber depending on the type of carpet.

Why not do it right and hot water extract it. Or pre scrub and than extract it.
