Top Ten Answer # 7

 
It is true that the backing of carpet should never be saturated.  This can happen if a cleaning system does not have enough vacuum power to pull out cleaning solutions before they penetrate the backing.  Many electric systems (such as rental equipment) are not powerful enough to do this.  That is why "steam cleaning" sometimes gets a bad rap for overwetting carpet.  True professionals never over-wet carpet.
