Thread: What's the best bonnet pad for post padding carpets after HWE?

Glad pads, for 3 reasons...
1) they hold more water and dirt then cottons do, so you don't have to change pads as often,
2) they last a long time
3) they are very gentle on carpet fibers

Excellent supplies as a blue micro fiber pad that works well for my orbot they have a pad in side that absorbs a lot dirt. I encap berber only. The micro fiber works well after HWE along with Hydrox encap. It helps its from wicking and brighten the berber.

OK, Google is not helping me... what is the website?
I use the bonnets from Powr-flite and they are OK and pretty durable.

right you always want to go 2 inches bigger than your machine this will get into corners and along the edges

Good point. Never thought about that.

I like cotton pads because I feel that they have better absorption. Also I agree with George and Tom, its always better to use bigger pads because they can also help avoid damage to baseboards.

Rob,

Hey Rob, I use a 19" closed loop cotton bonnets on my 17" Mastercaft floor machine. I installed a riser adapter on my 17" pad driver, otherwise the outer rows will cut in motion from the base. Plus Mfg.-800-776-2966. I have used my bonnets for 2-years, I wash with Oxy clean at the local laundry mat. BTW your new box van is awsesome. Give them a call and ask for Ivan; he got me started in this business. Good Luck Greg.
