It shortens drying times and reduces wicking.

I do it on thrashed carpets Resi or Comm.
Maybe a few times a week.
When we bumped up to 012 flow we found far less soil being left behind.
And less water.
Imagine that.

EVERY JOB! PERIOD.
Faster drying.
Less moisture = Less residual soil.
Softer carpets.
Perceived value, perception IS reality.
You DON'T get paid for things you don't do, subsequently, you DO get paid for what you do, do.
Less jobs, bigger average, bigger profits.
Sorry almost forgot,
IMO.

Same as we did a year ago. When the customer pays for it, or when it really needs it.
We still go through 100-200 pads every 2 weeks and that is without doing the jobs 100% op style.

The reason I asked about this is because I did it today on a really trashed job. I already had the rotary in the house because I prescrubbed with it, and decided since I was pumping so much water through the carpet I might as well post bonnet it to get that extra soil out and maybe, just maybe help the carpet dry faster.
Sheese ... the darn carpet was ALREADY dry BEFORE I got to post bonnet it, and I pulled almost NO extra dirt out.
These glides are wonderful, and I can't imagine any neanderthal carpet cleaner still having to post dob a carpet.
And, if you were one of those posters who said you do it because it helps your drying times ... then bless your heart.

I agree with Marty. :shock:

go to 18 flow and you will throw those pads away
The term "diminishing return" comes to mind.
Does it help? Sometimes.
How much? Depends on your cleaning technique.
Is it worth the effort and cost? Depends on your cleaning technique. Poor technique may need to be propped up with post padding.
or as Meat said
Yea I know I am agreeing with Meat again :roll:
