Hi Going to do some office bonnetting and as you do, going over what may go pear shaped :
One worry was swirl marks is this caused by carpet/pad too dry?
Any advice on other potential probs welcome

Thanks in anticipation

What are you using?

Not likely to happen on tiles, and even if you do get swirls no one is ever going to moan.

Chewing gum, bear patches you think are spots  :, not enough flex, expecting miracles. 

I would find somewhere to practice on and do a dry run. Otherwise you probably WILL forget something.

Don't let a damp bonnet sit in the same place for too long. Never rest the machine on it and go to do something else.

You will not notice anything at the time but in a day or two you could have a bonnet sized circular wick back mark.

It's very easy to do without realising.

The moment the bonnet hits the floor, start using it.

Thanks garry, knew about leaving pad in one spot, useing the new chem from JK with slow scrubber and cotton pads...excited

I would always recommend using dry bonnets where possible to avoid the halo wick back mark.

Obviously if you have a Dry Fusion/Texatherm type system that isnt possible.

Lots of clean, dry bonnets and spray application works best imo.

Be careful not to start the machine without a pad on. Everyone does it once. You learn quickly.

Paul,

Even with Dry Fusion, I still use a turbo dryer.

It just gets stuff dryer, quicker.

This is important in track off areas where the damp carpet is adjacent to a haed floor. Get these areas dry as soon as possible to avoid people slipping as the pass from the carpet to the hard floor.

Also, warning "wet floor" signs should be the first things put out and the last things removed on a job.

Good valid point...easily forgotten and expensive if a claim. Theirs always someone beavering away at a desk!
