Pre-scrub question

[curt johnson]

Alright, I have a few questions about what you all use to pre-scrub carpets with.

With a 175rpm what color/type pad are you using on residential and commercial carpet? I know that's general, but for resi lets say its a empty rental with cut pile nylon that is trashed from tenants.

Commercial I'm thinking just your run of mill CGD.....

Carpet brush for residential. Red pad or Beige or grey fiber plus for commercial.

. Carpet brush for residential cut pile.

Red and sometimes a green pad for commercial glue down. The green has to be properly broken in first.

My son just went through the IICRC CCT course. He said that the instructor was dogging rotary prescrubbing and using carpet warranties as a talking point. He was pushing CRB usage.

I have a crb. It's good at digging up hair.

Get yourself some white bonnets with the green stripe. I've tried many of the "new" fancy ones. These always seem to do the best.

I would think the bonnet would be used more post cleaning on a trashed carpet. Is it as aggressive as a fiber pad?

crb works great on residential at digging up hair and the thing is so easy to use. Just got one off ebay... 635 delivered, almost new. got lucky with someone offering a 1 day auction
