Yes Allen good job!!!!  The terry cloth thing... I stole from Padman.. I through a few down in a really bad area, and use my hands or feet on the terry cloth to help absorb the soiling... works great in hi-traffic areas and on stairs... I don't have a padman machine... but I'm think about one..

I carry in my truck at least 100 pieces of clean terry cloth... I hate to see carpet cleaners carrying one old dirty discolored one....

drop sheets must be white and nice as well.... I do truck laundry at least once per week

I learned this technique long ago from an instructor named Jim Henry. He learned it at Duraclean. He taught us how to clean an upholstery set with terry cloth towels and detergent and rinse water better than the results most people get with extraction. I applied it to carpet cleaning as well. Still works well.

That trail has my footprints in it too. I try to learn from a combination of listening and the good ol trail and error system these days.

Just had this discussion with a friend of mine who is a general cleaner.  He said that he never touches stuff in people's homes, because he knows that the Lord in Heaven is looking down on him.

I told him that I always pretend that one of those bombastic-kick-the-door-down-interview journalists is secretly videotaping me (in Australia we've got one notorious program called, "A Current Affair" like this).

I told him, "God will forgive you for taking the loose change you find, but A Current Affair will not..."

I do believe that I have been videotaped on at least one occasion, but I'm not positive.

Mr Steamer:   Since reading padman's posts, I seem to follow his belief that a plain cotton bonnet does work better then the 'green stripe' one for absorbtion.  I keep about 40 white terrycloth towels in the van for various purposes: wipe down the portable wheels, tie around the hot water connection to prevent spray, in my spotting kit, on my beltloop for 'just in case,' but I also try  to keep 4 bonnets as well.  I've got the bonnet driver head for the RX.

cheers, all....

-Allen
