If you agitate using an oreck do you use black brush, orange brush or do you use active bonnet pads?  I have been using the black brush on the oreck which seemed to work fine.  But reading other coms would like to know what you use. 

Cheers

Green brush or nylon floor pads although you have to order the green brush from the USA

Having used both,
Activa bonnet is far superior. I have put other forum members onto it in the past.
they binned the black brush.
For the delicate berber wools I use a normal terry bonnet.

Yes If SPM is your preferred weapon of choice then give your bonnet a good spray with it , and away you go,

Then extract. Jobs a goodun

If you are looking to agatate carpets with a bonnet then I would just get a piece of heavy pile nylon carpet and cut it into 14inch circles and use them it will be cheaper and do a better job,

if agitating before HWEing then you don't want the bonnet absorbing the prespray before it's done its job.

Anyone want to test the 12" versions of these for me and give some feedback?

I have the beige and grey but no Oreck / Floormac to try em on.

We know they work great on the cimex, rotary and orbot so should be good on the above.
