OK being and HWE person I am about to be converted to LM Cleaning

Over the years I have read of Mirrcle Pads such as Charlie

Mirrucle Cleaning Solutions

So what is best Bonnet or Pad

What is best Cleaning Solutions

Can you clean a really dirty Carpet

[Tadgh O Shea]

colloidal micelles cleaning solution right dilution depending on degree of soiling adequate dwell time, and clean with microfiber carpet pads, easy peasy.

Hi Ian

I am yet to be converted on domestics , but for commercial it's all I use , vac really well , apply dynamall in 3 to 4 mt sections then buff off with a bonnet .

Seems to easy here's one I did earlier

[Jamie Pearson]

They all work Ian. You just need to match the agitation level to the fibre type.

Depending on the product you choose some will have lubricants allowing more aggression. Machine weight will also play a part.
What works for some users may be to aggressive on your machine or possibly not enough.

We carry a good selection of all to each job and use whichever gives desired results the fastest.

This could be be brush, pad or bonnet. (or both)

Well all I can say is after I started encapping using padds at the start of this year I haven't used one single bonnet!  And apart from imo getting better results have saved on laundry costs as well

Its a Taski R38 15 inch thought it would be better for domestics , but now find problem finding bonnets or pads looked on cleaning systems  , and Restomate all 17 inch

Funnily enough Mike Boxalls old company Express Cleaning Supplies had one but it looked like a standard Bonnet  I liked the idea of the onces with a Scrubber

What is diffrence between Pad  and bonnet

I was watching a You Tube training Vid yesterday and Guy used White Pad ,would this be correct

I will be practicing on my lounge Carpet as I need a new one anyway

[Ian Gourlay]

Looks good Neil .

17 inch pads work very well on 15 inch machines Ian.. It is what I use all the time..
 

[*Hector*]

17 inch bonnets too... forgot them  oops..
 

[Ian Gourlay]

That gives me more choice then 

[Ian Gourlay]

just hope i have not bought a load of rubbish

[John Kelly]

17" gives you a 1" border all round and stops you damaging skirtings etc.

[James Jacob]

[Ian Gourlay]

well he proved his point but he did not use the best solution for dry clean process

[William Sharpe]

Hi Ian I am a HWE chap myself however last week I went to do a large area in a mingy pub/club which I do twice a year with HWE and a happy client. but this time i thought I will try a good Vac a pre spray left for 5 minutes anouther spray and hit it with my rotary and a red 17 inch pad. I used dynamal at the prescribed mix. It turned out not the thing to do as the carpet came out patchy and felt sticky. Probably due to a mix of me not doing it right and 6 months of spilt wine, beer, spit and I don'nt want to know what else. I ended up packing away the rotary and getting out the HWE and redoing. I have used this method on carpet tiles and it worked with really good results. I am a vovice when it comes to using the rotary but I will get it right I hope

[Ian Gourlay]

Should have got one years ago but I just put in a best offer on Ebay thinking it would not have been accepted but it was.

But hector has made me think about with Mike h going on about it and then I saw a hard floor Cleaning ashbys Vid so I thought well it opens that up also, as i was asked anout a large area three weeks ago for £100 quid i thought why not

stuart

what are the pads you have been using stuart ?

[wayne zabel]

Don't do LM

Might be a daft question but what is the difference between a bonnet and a pad

[Jamie Pearson]

A bonnet is made from an absorbent fibre where a pad (in encap sense) is a synthetic non-woven a bit like a floor buffing pad.
