Thanks, I know I what jon don is and how to Google. I just wasn't sure if there was a particular one I should look for as I was having problems finding one. Figured if someone here used one they'd be able to lead me in the right direction.

Thank mark, awesome talking with you also! I just meant I tried googling and checking out jon dons website but I don't see much about which one I'd need exactly and there seems to be multiple options.

Any help much appreciated!

No disrespect to Marty :)

I had used the adjustable glide brush many years ago and I just remember not loving it. Go with a nylon brush and you will be happy with it for years.
I use it for both tile and carpet and it works great.

Thanks fellas. I will be checking into these. If those take the standard clutch plate I should be good. This viper is what I'd be using.

Welcome Blake,

I've heard good things about the brush clean freak sells....but have never used it myself

http://www.cleanfreak.com/equipment/floor/floor-supplies/brushes/buffer-brush/17-inch-trusted-clean-carpet-brush.html

That's the brush I've used for the last 2 years or so and it works well although I've migrated to the grey MF with scrub strips. I think they scrub carpets a bit better than the brush.

I have tried using the cleanfreak brush for scrubbing grout lines. It works pretty good although I am considering the Don-Jon brush to get a bit more aggressive scrubbing action. I wonder if it's aggressiveness will be a problem and scratch porcelain or ceramic tiles however. Wnayone know if it would?

No problem.

You may know this and it says it in the item description but make sure you break it in before using it on your customer's carpet.

I forgot to add that I also like the MF pads for scrubbing better than the brush because the MF pads use the same pad driver as the cotton pads I use for drying. It eliminates one more thing to not have to bring into the house.

And.....I really Like his Van Wrap :)

Just a really great guy the time I got to spend with him on the phone and him and his wife might be making it to the Experience in Florida after talking with him.

I really hope so.

Would be so fun to meet in person.

Glad you could make it over here Blake!

Hope you can stick around and post and share with us....would love to hear more about you and your business :)
