Geoff,
I may well of done but can't think why as I have always been one of those ill informed cc's who frowned on such methods, but am now in the process of perhaps having to eat my words
The method I intend using on the next outing is on given me by Paul Elliot:
1. Prevac.
2. Fill a mop bucket with hot water and add 1 scoop of Pure Clean per 5 litres of hot water. Proceed to dunk your cotton pads.
3. Mix up a sprayer with hot water and Pure Clean, 1 scoop per litre.
4. Prespray the area heavily.
5. Get a red floor cleaning pad and go over the prespray area.
6. Get your dunked bonnet and using the mop wringer, lightly wring out the cotton pad, it need to be dripping wet.
7. Go over the area you just agitated with the bonnet.
Got some Rotobrite II & Rotobrite staingard to try as well.

Dear me ............ Simon, good that you're open to try new methods and I honestly believe that HWE (certanly TM) users will be a minority to LM users in 5 years from now, but where are you getting this advice on expert rotary cleaning
?
Sorry for these capitals is advance; FORGET PURE CLEAN !!
Also, you DON'T want your pad to be dripping wet!! (maybe this was a typo to be fair).
My honest suggestion if you get this job would be to take someone along who is as much as an expert in LM as you may be in HWE. It's the only way you'll see the real potential of rotary methods. If you try to 'make it up as you go' on this job, you'll learn a great method: badly.
Your Rotobrite II isn't too bad (although I believe it uses peroxide!) but there are still other rotary chems out there far better than it. Drop JasonL or someone really clued up on this an email and get some serious advice.
Having done rotary carpet cleaning for 11 years, I have used all the good and bad chems. I'd now only use;
- Fusion Clean
- Activator
- Catalyst
- Encapuclean (yes it works with a rotary as well as CRB)
- Rotobrite (at a push)
- Prochem Bonnet Buff (at a real push)
Texatherm chems can get EXCELLENT results but I do not like the pH actions in their process. (Taking the pH really high, then neutralizing). I don't think that's the way to go in rotary cleaning.
