After the initial passes have removed the bulk of the dirt, make several additional passes over the same area with the steam extractor.

The primary goal of these final passes is to extract as much remaining moisture as possible from the carpet, which will significantly reduce drying time and help prevent the re-soiling of the carpet from any left-over residue.
