I have a bunch of Superzorb diapers but I also have a MicroBeast Pro Scrub bonnet. Can I use the microbeast just like the superzorbs? Is the microfiber better?

well if you listen to Pastor Girkink one of those blue pads will hold the equivalent of 220 gallons of TM waste water.

he's full of shit.


use the blue on light soil and the white on filthy

or blue first then the white if you want to be a premium OP hack.

Mike. Your answer is the exact opposite of what I expected. The microfiber pad is really thick and it also has course dark blue lines in it. I would have thought that it would be the better one for filthy floors and would also be more absorbent than the terry cloth pads.

try them side by side on you next goo job and report back.


Remember, pre spray bad areas with slightly stronger encap spiked with some ammonia (lots if they head janitor is watching so he leaves) no more than 200 feet ahead of yo'sef.
Pre spot coffee and soda with 40 vol.

Don't dispare Damon, all these idiots do it too.


At least the smart ones do.

A few really are idiots and wand everything.


What other questions do you have?

Jimmy actually knows a lot about VLM.

and his hatred for it's over zealous promoters is largely justified.


Be careful with your new toy Damon, it's a fine line between a quick easy buck and a front row seat in hell.

Only for CGD. But I did get good results in my house.

Please forward your significant other's email, so that we can inform her and other loved family members, not to touch the home carpet under any circumstances.
I assume you're OK with the in law leisurely stretching out on it.

Damon the micofiber works excellent to agitate, loosen and suspend to be picked up with the combo pads. They are more absorbent and will then remove more in heavier soiled carpets.

Not that we won't use microfiber by themselves. We do, but in light soil situations.

1. Vacuum throughly
2. Precondition and agitate
3. Rinse cycle with wet/pads slightly wringed out
4. Finish when need with cotton blend or cotton pads.

Never dry pads, always wet for rinsing and lubrication

Unreal, now you tell me to wet them out..... You're beginning to be a real Richard......!:lol:

I just used my Vibe tonight.. I enjoyed using it on moderately soiled carpets in a Retirement home Lobby... We still ran the TM for the Heavily soiled areas then post padded the areas after.. Worked like a charm..

I may have to source a more aggressive fiber pad than the one it came with.. I'm used to EncapStore brown pads for my Cimex..

You must not have kept it wet or flipped it. Try flipping it every 300 feet, then switch to a new pad.
No I didn't flip it. I did wet it then post bonneted with the superzorbs. The carpet came out beautiful. Wish I could say the same for my microbeast pad.
