Found an old photo of our crew from back in the Chemstractor era / around 1998.

They actually did pretty well on commercial carpet. It was part of the journey. Had tried everything to resolve problems and make it profitable to clean lots of commercial carpet. The Chemstractors were better than everything we had tried before it. My next plan (around 2021) was to take a Cimex, create an extraction ring for it, and add suction to build a sort of Super-Chemstractor. But it was also about that time that I started messing around with a crystalizing detergent. Once I saw what encap was capable of with the Cimex, I dropped the idea of adding the extraction ring. Instead it was off to the races with the Cimex, good encap juice, and the correct scrub pads for encap cleaning. Releasit was born shortly thereafter.
You changed our industry, Rick, and helped a myriad of cleaners develop profitable commercial cleaning businesses, and as well helped to solve difficult problems that cleaners were facing.
