If it's worn, it's worn - a pile lifter or agitation machine might help.

As for pile reveral, simple - the pile is going in a different direction to the rest of the carpet - like rubbing the nap on a snooker table in the wrong direction.

I don't know anything about the grace - but what you have described sounds long winded.

You want a pump-up sprayer, put your alkaline pre-spray in that and your acidic rinse in your machine.

finger scrape

scrape your fingers across pile reversal, the pile will show the marks of your fingers before the pile reverses but wont after, opposite the other way. hey i'm on newcastle brown ale, thats the best explanation i can muster.
