Here's a nightmare for ya CMaster...I have 110,000 sq.ft of powerbond in our long term care facility and every Aug. it looks like I don't do my job!! And Willy...you are correct as well...the only way I can make the place look half way decent is to encap in the summer.

Geeeez- Run a bonnet over it . Prespray, make sure your LOW PROFILE bonnet , is moist on a 175 rpm  and problem usually solved. I've used Host powder with great success on repeating stains.

If there is enough cleaner on it it will break the surface tension of the water and sink?

Some spots that have been over-worked on with different chemicals tend to fool you and look like they come back but infact the residue left from the overworked chemical is actually attracting new soil to the same area making your customer think the stain has returned.

You should also pluck a fiber from the carpet in question and put it into a glass of water. If it floats it is Olefin and Olefin wants to wick-up rapidly regardless of humidity.

Powerbond is the worst for wickbacks. As an experiment, I had one of my techs flush a 20 x 20 area for 5 hours with a Steamin Demon and dry it with fans. The water was still coming out brown and it still wicked dirt
