couple of gluggs in your prespray should do the trick,
if i have an oily job i'll put a few gluggs in some powerburst prespray, then spray the carpet and agitate with enviro, as i'm agitating if i see any black marks that won't come out and i know there grease or oil based, i'll squirt them with Citra Boost mixed 1 to 3 in its own bottle, (hot if its a new mix but cold seems to do just as well) then go over again with agitation machine and that usually breaks the stain up. then rinse with an acid rinse.

Yes just add it to your pre spray I add some citrus concentrate to all my pre sprays just to help with any oil or grease based stains. Citra boost is good but i find citrus concentrate from Restormate just as effective but better value for money.

You really shouldn't need to add a booster of any description to Powerburst as it is extremely effective against oils and food stains, which is what i is designed to do. I'd try it in it's own and see what happens.
