My shop bay has commercial glue down that was in place when we took over the lease. I was changing the oil in my F250 this winter and dropped the oil filter and got oil on the carpet. It's been driving me nuts, so the other night at the end of day it was pretty nice out, so I decided to do a little testing. As you can imagine the carpet gets pretty hammered from whatever comes off my van. I vacuumed all the gravel and whatever else up and hit it with some high PH citrus prespray. I then took out my TREX and Rotovac 360 XL and goofed around testing moisture removal with them. I had the carpet looking like new except the oil spot. I could not get that oil spot up no mater how many passes I did with my RE units. So I decided to try something different and applied a very low PH Encap product and instantly hit it with a old cotton bonnet and it pulled it right up.
I wish I would have shot a video of it because I never would have believed it. I thought it was a permanent stain. I also thought that high PH was needed to remove grease and oil.
