How long do your OP Pads last?

Ken, you have NO CLUE about OP, you say things without testing, you think stuff up and them make claims, I could post PAGES of your claims here that NEVER came true.

I prefer DOING it and then let the USERS and CUSTOMERS tell the story.

We use both sides of the pad, however I don't run them as long a some do, I don't BURN the dirt into them.

If you have a dirty carpet and change the pads more, you will clean faster AND not wear out your pads.

Since I am mostly a HWE guy

I dont need to carry a whole supply for many jobs

Just the one a day or so that I will VLM clean.

You get better cleaning with using only one side and change often and not wait till a pad is soiled out.

Since I am not trying to make a number of pads say, last all day.

To get the most wear out of your pads it is more how to maintain them that counts on how long they last.

John: First off; Chemdry does not have a market of "glides" as you put it. They don't even make any wands. The only thing they have is a patent on a stainless steel skid for the RX20 machine. They are attempting to spread the reach of that over to glides that have more than one slot simply to protect their franchise network and their claim to 1 hour drying. In their place , I would probably to the same. Didn't work though. The new ZRX3 glides that I brought out this month equal the drying performance of the patented ones for a fraction of the cost.The new SST glides for wands is also superior to the holy glide they stopped earlier this year as well. They want to licence that design, and had to shut down everyone else that had more than a single vacuum slot. Fine. I adapted and moved on.

As far as the trial and error thing, yes I am doing it, and yes I am spending money to do it and will continue to do that to improve all products that I sell. The RSE may require a pad with superior wear characteristics more than the ones you currently sell since the machine is heavier than most of the pad machines. And yes, there is one on the way. Nice to know the baseline so that the percentage of improvement can be guaged more accuratly. Improvement is coming wether some are ready or not.

	Makes sense John. Abrasion is still abrasion. Anything you can do that reduces it adds to Pad life. The new ones that I will be selling soon are designed to last over a hundred cleanings.

	I like Johns pads the best As long as you have a large number of pads like I do and rotate them in use they can last years. proper care and not too much bleach and dont put them in the dryer will also add to the life of said pads I also use only one side this will also extend the life. I have well over a 100 pads

	Now that I have stated my disgust with your business practices, you seem to be attempting to get in on our market just like you did on ChemDrys market of glides. Maybe it is time to post your posts over the last couple of years here Ken, your claims "as I have stated to you in previous emails" keep people waiting and anticipating your REVOLUTIONARY products just to have them dissappointed by not seeing them come to fruition. There are several distributors of pads, however very few understand WHAT makes a pad work well and last well, it you do not take into consideration WHAT makes them strong, clean well and last, you will spend a fortune trying to please people. I invite you to spend your money and do your own trial and error.

	I like the "turkey pads". The rest are a scam. And yes John G. sells them. John may be pricey, but he sells the best.
