Vacuuming takes the loose dirt off the top. Extraction flushes what is ground into the fiber and pulls it back out with the water, which is the only way stains actually leave.
Carpet in a work truck holds years of red dirt, gravel dust, spilled drinks and whatever came off your boots. Most of it is not on the surface, it is packed down at the base of the fiber where a vacuum has no reach.
Extraction injects hot water and cleaning solution into the carpet, agitates it so the dirt releases, then vacuums the dirty water straight back out under pressure. The dirt leaves the vehicle instead of being pushed deeper or left behind as residue that attracts more dirt next week.
It works the same way on cloth seats and floor mats. Heavy stains get pre-treated and dwell before the pass, and anything protein or organic gets an enzyme treatment so the smell goes with the stain rather than lingering under it.
Everything loose comes out before any water goes in, otherwise you just make mud.
Stains get pre-treated and time to work, then hot water goes in and comes straight back out with the dirt.
Air movement over the carpet so you are not driving around on a damp floor.

AfterMost do. Set-in dye stains, bleach damage and anything that has already discolored the fiber itself may lighten rather than disappear. We will tell you what we expect before we start.
A few hours in most cases. We use air movement to speed it up so you are not sitting on a damp floor on the drive home.
Yes. Cloth seats extract the same way as carpet. Leather is cleaned and conditioned instead, since it should never be soaked.
