Mr. Steamer: It depends on how much protection you need. Are you having a heavy day or light day. In the back of my mind I always thought you were different. I guess that's why you had such an easy time finding Allen's weekness's. Hey your secert is safe with me.

PadMan claims that orbital spinning as opposed to regular floor machine spinning are two totally different mechanical actions. He also suggests a much thinner pad to dig deeper for the soil as opposed to bonnet that skims the surface. PadMan even challenges truckmounts against his system. This is a man who puts his money where his mouth is. PadMan discusses his system in an earlier forum post. Click here. Edited by Carpetologist |

Looks like one spinning pizza with bean sprouts and one spinning pizza without pepperoni.

Padding utilizes the OP machine like shown in Kens crafty video..LOL I loved it Ken.
Now as to bonnet padding with your green stripe, try doing the same thing even with a rotary using a cotton terri pad, then compare the amount of soil removed, it will amaze you. |

I have been using Padman's Oscillating machine successfully on quite a few Olefins after I bought his machine 3 months ago. After I pre-spray, I let the VLM dwell for 10 to 15 minutes and for this type of carpet I squeeze the pad more than usual before throwing it on the carpet. When I have done 400 SQF and start another area I can actually see the first area drying before my eyes. No problems with wickbacks that way. Besides the method cleans really well. |

Possibly.... HOWEVER....I had an accountant's office to do that took up the complete 13th floor (side note: unlike the US, Australians have a 13th floor... it was one of the biggest shocks when I moved over here.) It was glue-down olifin that pretty much stretched out across half a city block. It had never had a clean. It was 15 years old. Guess what tool I used? Yeah, you probabally meant that as a general statement.... -Allen ps: I've spoken with a lot of people who have ony used a wand that seem to reject power tools such as the RX (this is not in response to your post, Doug). I've been told that I'd never use it on residential, glue-down, or polyprop... but I do. Is it needed? Dunno. It's easier for me. |

Padding also works well on this type of carpet, but I would not use that method myself if you were doing a large job over a few thousand sq ft.

commercial carpets all react different it also depends on the amount of air flow.... the less water the better. I might use the brush on my rotor machine if the carpet can handle it...or maybe pads all depends... then I'll steam at 200 psi no rinse... all the while air movers on to start drying right away
