Carpet Cleaning is all about getting the correct chemicals for the job to dissolve whatever is in / on carpet. Dwell time is crutial as it needs time top break up the soil. The worse the soil, the longer the dwell. And multiple application/extraction session may be needed on stuborn soils. From the looks of the pictures, your chemicals nailed it!
Next flushing the soils and vacuuming (extracting them out.)
In cleaning carpet like what Dyane posted you need to be able to emulsify the soil. The chemical, heat from the extractor both accomplish this and the injection of 250 PSI of heated water, separates the soils from the carpet fibers, and the vacuum removes the dirty slurry from the carpet.
The Extractor you purchased, (8/17/2009) was a very high performance and capable model, but without the correct chemistry, you would not have been as massively successful removing the embedded soils as you were!
Those pictures make me what to but PB carpet products for sure!
Good Job!

I`m sure the extractor played a huge role in the results that I was able to achieve. It sprays at 250 psi and gets the water really hot. Using hot water only barely did any cleaning but magic started happening when I added the extractor formula and it only took 1oz per gallon.
