Those with OP machines...

[lance]

Lots of talk about encap, padcap, etc. on the board lately.

Have you used a Fiber pad (i usually see the tan one) with the op machine on commercial carpet? What were the results?

Does an OP with fiber pad aggitate the PS well enough to make Hwe easier? I got the idea from seeing the Orbot video the other day.

Yeah, works great... But the pads do tend to pill a bit.

Yes... But a rotary & a shampoo brush is cheaper unless you poach a machine on an auction. !gotcha!

In my opinion the op does pretty good prescrubbing. If you have a job you need help with let me know and you could try the Orbot I have in real life.

Hey, Lance!

I've used fiber pads, but I think a green-striped pad does as well and it doesn't chew up / abrade the velcro and pad driver like fiber pads do. (I had to replace mine recently.) I usually use a soft Tuway pad to prescrub HWE on residential.
