Back when I owned rental property, I did all the maintenance except for things that required a pro beause I didn't have the resources. I bought one of those Bissel carpet cleaning machines from Costco. I found I could do as good a job & better than the pro companies could. I'll add my comments to the above good advice. The go slow approach is very necessary. I also found out rinsing the carpet two or three times made a huge difference in how it came out. Obviously I didn't drench the carpet when rinsing & did a light rinse each time. After a while I got to where I only used Folex as a cleaning agent, although wholesale cleaning isn't its main purpose. I'd put it in the detergent tank just like the regular cleaner was supposed to be used.
