25 views, no replies. so i'l give it a go.

i expect your never going to get it all out. but, "I" would get a soft brush, bucket of water, and a shop vac. work some water in, vac it up. and keep doing that until ether it doesn't foam up any more, and/or, your arms fall off. then do the same the next and however many days.

good luck and let us know what happens.

Hot water extraction, without flooding it. Delamination of the areas may happen soon, regardless of what is tried to get it all out. The soap residue will attract dirt and soiling quickly.

Those rug doctors are a joke. They do not have the suction to remove the water. They don't have the heat to kill any bacteria.
