I want to give these a try once they're back in stock. Heard great things about them.
18″ Zinger Red Microfiber Pads – CLEARANCE
Microfiber Carpet Bonnet with scrub strips help to remove soil and moisture. These pads are long lasting and ideal for pad capping, either stand alone or with cotton pads!

Ok, it's early and I just finished my first cup of Joe.
It's time to lay it on your carpet buffers. Do you remember our instructions for spot treatment with a microfiber rag?
-apply recommended gel
-use tamping brush to treat it
-BLOT the spot with the microfiber rag
-DO NOT SCRUB
I feel that using a buffer, Orbot, trinity, or whatever machine on a CUT pile of carpet is gonna reduce the life of the pile basically because it's scrubbing the carpet.
Commercial olefin isn't in this category because it's a tight loop and I think it can hold up to the agitation. But as for cut pile carpet...I don't care how good it looks, the buffer needs to stay off the residential carpet.
Quit being lazy, lay out your floor protecting blankets over your rich ass customer's marble floor, and HWE their carpet. Hell, use a hole glide like the pig guy if you want to make it easy.

That's how I feel about using a Tri-force for stretching carpet. It's a myth that it works because it pushes the carpet out from behind at a 45° angle.
Yea mine got used 1 maybe twice and now sits untouched and shiny in a box.

Have another cup of Joe, and lets hear your thoughts on quantum physics and how it relates to emulsification
I need a few beers to explain that theory

I think the only rug available for me to bring would be my poly tufted rug I have from Lowes. It's already wore out which will look like crap.
I'll try to bring a different one if one of my customer's needs one cleaned.

My Costco shag is 11 years old....
It’s a 9 X 12.
It’s my living room rug....
I’ve raised 2 children in the home....
It looks brand new still..
I can tell you that encapping makes dried drywall compound magically disappear.

did you do more than 200 ft before giving up?
Dont bother responding, I know the answer.
Really, The Cimex is awesome on large rugs in the pit and big commercial jobs because you can clean in both directions.

Why are you talking to Matt?
Brain stimulation. The only other option was watching Vidal Vs. Buckley videos.
That isn't worth answering. YOu're insulting my intelligence
I'd like to see your big ass lug it up a set of stairs alone
The jobs I use the Mex for have elevators.
The job that I made my decision on to sell it didn't have an elevator.

I was this close to buying a used Necchi to sew my other pads like that. I’m still hoping to find cotton pads that the ECO will not fling.
