A device for enhancing removal of liquid from fabric, such as a vacuum head device (10) for removing liquid from carpet (not shown), includes an elongated base plate (18) to be moved across the carpet. The vacuum head (10) had a tapering cross section with a wider upper end and a narrower lower end configured to penetrate into the carpeted surface (not shown). In addition, a plurality of apertures (22) are formed in an array in the base plate (18) to withdraw the fluid under a vacuum force. Preferably, the plurality of apertures (22) are sized larger than a width of the lower surface to create a plurality of protrusions (38) extending from the base plate (18) configured to penetrate the carpeted surface (14).
