How can I get the carpet to be cleaner? I don't care for when it look like this. But my customers be satisfied with my work.

This is my process thou
1. Spray solution carpet & upholstery cleaner and all purpose cleaner on the carpet
(Just recently purchased folex)
2. You drill with brush attachment on end after dipping in water
3. Use brissell carpet extractor
4. Use vacuum to get excess water up
5. Wipe with white terry towels

Terry towels still be dirty even thou I wipe the carpet up . Feel like I just be pushing the dirt around

Sounds to me like you need to spend some more time scrubbing and extracting...

You need a dedicated carpet cleaner other than folex ,I tried it kind of weak on dirty interiors.use a citrus based carpet cleaner all stains are not created equal.so do some home work on that .bissel is a great affordable machine but doesn't have enough power and continuous heat.Till you have the finances to buy a extractor just use what you have and make the best of it at the end of the day it boils down to improvement.so a quality extractor will improve clean fast and drying process.as far as the drill thing I'm personally not a fan of that it makes a mess on high speed,I do ext first then knock out the interior everyone has there own method on attacking cleaning a car.

When all else fails and you've extracted as much as you can, dye the carpet and call it a day. Spray it on and in 1 minute the carpet will look factory new.

Carpet dyes never match in a can,unless you have custom blending colors and variances of different shades.You can spot spray stains and they look ok,but as the paint dries it turns darker than the color and it will look worse than the stain itself.I would leave that to a seasoned interior repair guys.
