What happened to the stain when you steamed it... And what happened to it when you vacuumed it? It is hard for me to understand this process. It seemed that the stain disappeared with steam but then it was wiped and vacuumed.

That was to remove any residual moisture and product to make sure the stain didn't re wick back to the surface.
On a related note.. I've recently been using 303 carpet and vinyl cleaner 1:10 and been getting almost exactly the same or better results than with roles for 1/10th the price.
It's the Dupray Tusca Evo with the Triangle Brush attachment.

When you spray the carpet cleaner on the area and scrub it breaks down the particles releasing them from the fibers of the cloth.
When you steam it you have a 316° steam at 70+ Psi. I used the Triangle brush for this. You wrap a MF around the end of it. The steam saturates the cloth and the heat is contained in the MF. The steam loosens the rest of the grime and picks it up onto the clean MF while wiping over. Just make sure your using clean MF's and you'll use a lot of them!
Then you follow with a clean MF towel to get any residue and moisture left over. Then you vacuum to suck any left over contaminated moisture to leave a clean fresh cloth that dries in 30 Minutes.
