I think it would be best to assume that it is still fitted.

You should treat ALL carpets as potentially shrinkable, until examination/testing proves otherwise.

well i must see about ten of these things aweek    they love the stuff here in the north and they wont pay for dry cleaning at all , so its out with the disclaimer 

1. lightly pre spay , then rub it in with a hard brush

2. then turn the water right down to say 30 psi

3 then light wash the pre spay and the drit out with a hand tool

4 never had any comeback doing it this way so works for me

This sounds like a very reliable procedure to me.  I think my Extracta DX is spec'd at 140 inches lift, which must create quite a considerable suction at the hand-tool head (although low CFM here).  However changing the theme just a bit - can one actually get an in-line Vac booster to maximise the suction if this would help with BWs (I've heard of these) ?
