Everyone has their own way of cleaning carpet and here are some ways how you can clean your carpets:

Extraction: a carpet extractor uses a detergent solution that is forced into the carpet by a pump then the solution is sucked out of the carpet with high power vac motors and these pumps range in power. Vacuum motors range from 135 cfm to over 200 cfm and even heaters can be added to the machines either internally or externally where heated water tends to break up greasy dirt faster. Extraction leaves the carpet wetter than other systems, but it cleans deeper and if the carpet is cleaned properly it shouldn't take more than 4 hours to dry.

Extraction restoration: this is a proper way of deep cleaning a carpet and is a two step program designed to deep clean the carpet.  The first step is to prespray carpet with a good prespray or use a non-residue shampoo in a shampoo tank and then agitate carpet with a rotary floor buffer with a carpet brush attached.  This loosens up the dirt that is on the top and deep in the carpet and let the chemical sit for a few minutes to actually break up the dirt after you scrub.  The second step is to extract the carpet with a good extraction cleaner or use a rinsing agent and the rinsing aid will flush out all chemicals and dirt from step 1 and from previous cleanings.

Bonnet cleaning: bonnets are made of synthetic, natural or a combination of both materials and are round pads that go under standard speed floor buffers. The bonnets use friction to pull dirt from the top of the carpet fibers and this is a good system when cleaning a carpet frequently and also when the carpet needs to be dry shortly after cleaning or when a browning problem occurs. But this is not a deep cleaning method and it is recommended that the carpet should be sprayed with the detergent then buffed with a dry bonnet, when the bonnet gets dirty flip it over or use another one.

Rotary brush or dry foam: this method uses a foaming shampoo that may dry to a light powder or crystal, while the shampoo is applied with a brush and a standard speed floor buffer machine, the brush generates foam as it spins or a specialized machine that generates foam before getting agitated with a brush. However this system is likely to leave the carpet with a sticky residue if not used properly and remember always vacuum carpet thoroughly before cleaning that will make a difference and save your extractor.
