Try liquid fabric softner, It will kill the foam and leave a nice fresh scent!

You should first make sure you know exactly what you are using. Carpet shampoos contain perchlorethylene which is an extremely hazardous chemical which is a known cancer causing agent. It damages the liver, kidneys and nervous system. The answer is to find a product which does not contain such chemicals.
Melaleuca has several products which are a much better substitute. Pre-Spot for the obvious, and MelaMagic for the carpet cleaner.

Do NOT use the soap in the tank. It is best to spray it on with a pump sprayer and extract with water. The cleaners for "do-it-yourself" carpet cleaners leave a residue that cleans soil off your shoes, holds the dirt in making vacuuming less effective and wears the fibers out.
Ideally you should use a "fiber rinse" in the tank to remove all residues from the carpet. check out www.jondon.com for a professional grade product. THEY ARE LESS EXPENSIVE AND FAR MORE EFFECTIVE

Vinegar works great to cut through soap, and it works on grease too!

They sell them at places that rent Rug Doctors. It's a defoamer.

Try white vinegar.
