Summary
This is what I learned from the detailer vids.
The older manual steps to clean the auto carpets.
1. Vacuum the carpet with a wet dry vac,
2. Using a spray bottle with all purpose cleaner or the enzyme for any stains, spray the carpet.
3. Using a nylon scrub brush and scrub the carpet.
4. Spray rinse water with another bottle.
5. Using micro fiber to soak up the liquids.
6. Put the vacuum on blow to dry it further.
The steps above are not set in stone each detailer does it according to the situation for best results.
The purpose of the Tornador is to speed up this lengthy process by combining some of the steps and cut down on alot of the scrubbing and do a better job.
Therefore if you using the vac attachment and fill the Tornador liquid container with the cleaner you can do all of the above in one step!
This is also not set in stone and every detailer has their on process as conditions may vary.
However they all agree this device is a real time saver and does a wry good job!
Here is an example of one variation where the Tornador is taken on a professional detailing job

No this is the first i heard of it. Tried a different enzyme last year and it helped, but still some lingering.
Hello
So after digesting all this information, this is what I want to try.
I got a spray bottle from Home Depot for the Blackfire all purpose cleaner. See instructions in Pic.
It is 4 to 1 mix so pour cleaner to 5 fl oz mark and water to the 20 fl oz Mark.
1. - Vacuum the area of carpet to be cleaned with our new powerful DeWalt 6.5 HP SS vacuum.
2. - Spray on the area of carpet to clean with the cleaner spray bottle
3. - Use the 4” yellow medium drill brush to loosen the dirt and dog hair. (Important to use the right size 4” and stiffness designated by color for the job - see chart below)
Auto Stiffness Application
Red - Stiff - Rubber Mats - WeatherTech
Yellow or Green - Medium - Car Carpet
White - Soft - Car seats
4, Use the Tornador and with velocity vac to pull up all the ground in dirt and dog hair.
4a. Use water in the Tornador to help rinse.
4.b Use just air in the Tornador to help dry.
5. Use micro fiber cloth to also help dry if needed.
How does this sound?
