I used the gel, minimal damage if any to the backing....
 
put it on...cimexed it in, then steamed it...then a once over with the cimex again
 
235.25 cha ching it was only 200 sq ft, they didn't take up all the mats....but  it did cost 60 bucks for the 4 bottles.
 
everyone loves the smell for about 15 mins

WD40. Buy a gallon, apply with a trigger sprayer. Agitate with a brush or rotary before extraction.
 
You can also buy citrus gel in gallons and use that if you preferBig%20smile
