    Brush for HOS

    Hi,

    I have a HOS & am wondering if they have a brush for these. I don't mean a brush driver that ya have to put a pad over it, I mean a brush so my HOS can act as a 175. I ordered what I thought was a brush itself, but there's this vecro in the center & it'll tear up the carpet. If you put a glider over the velcro part, it always falls off & it'll still tear up the carpet.

    The next Q is if there is such a thing, would it be safe for carpets to be shampooed/brushed with an orbital machine? And if it's safe, would this be better, worse, or about the same as a 175 that simply goes in circles?

    I have the TnG brush. Not good for carpet.
    Decent for tile.
    Useless w/TM though.

    You could try just remove the Velcro block in the center and use it that way, although I am not sure if the bristles are going to be soft enough?

    Sounds like you have a "Brush Driver" Do not use that on carpet even if you remove the velcro. The brushes on that are ment to grip and drive a pad. It's NOT for carpet fibers.

    If your looking to use a "shampo" brush on your OP , I think challenger has one for their machines. They call it an "encap Brush"
    You might call challenger and see if it would fit your HOS.
