Pile lifter pile brush?

[cosway canada]

for those who mainly do commercial work is the Pile Brush a good tool and if so do you use the paper bag and which brush do you prefer for this machine?

thanks

Ken;

The Certified Pile Brush is a great machine.

The brush we use the most is the vegetable fiber brush.

If you happen to have sandy soil, then the nylon brush would be the best choice. It is also better if you are using the Pile Brush for "trigger sprayer spotting".

we have a lot of salt and ice melter residue to deal with in Toronto.

Hey Ken, I'm up in OwenSound, and utilize 5 Certified machines in my operation. You will probably have limited/mixed results using either the veggy or nylon brush for salt /icemelter residues.
The best results that I have achieved for this situation is the RVjunior, provided I can get a 'lock' on the carpet. Melts the residues away, but skipping is a real possibility, just have to heel it real precisely.

A pile lifter is "the bomb diggity" for dry soil & pet hair removal.... When you have a real impacted area this the first tool to use then a follow up with a good upright vac. Getting rid of the bulk of the dry soil is the key (especially when you OP for a living). Then you can pre-treat & agitate with the pile brush (just unplug the vac motor).
