Hi Adwa I will keep my answer short. We vacuum AFTER. Remember we PAD and it is DRY before we are ready to vac. Under 1 hr dry times (normally 1/2 an hour) really does mean that! For Steamer I say unlike you I always answer questions asked of me, and if I can't I find someone who can! And John; I guess we wouldn't know that feeling now would we LOL PAD DIVA NORTH |

Padman: I like to keep things stirred up. I don't like things to settle to the bottom. But when things heat up it is time to take it off the burner.

Mr. Steamer: You almost have to vacuum after because now that everything is stired up you have no way of extracting it.

Diva I always thought you vacuum before cleaning, not after. Even when you pad clean the carpet is still damp, how does a vacuum cleaner pick up dust or dirt on wet fibers. Does this not ruin your motor in your vacuum? Keep it as simple as the question. Most times long answers give me a head ache. |

Hey thanks, Diva! Very nice answer, and just the info I was looking for. I have no experience with the pile lifter, and that's why I wanted to know. What kind of vacuum do you use after you're done cleaning, (or is it the pile lifter?) I guess I'd rather not mess with one if possible, but only use a good commercial vac. I'm researching different brands right now. PowrFlite looks like a good brand, as does this Sanitare. Any other top notch brands that have a good reputation in this industry? Along the same lines, is there any preference towards using a bag vs a dirt cup vacuum? The dirt cup would seem to be the preferrable way to go, but there's probably a major dust issue with them. Any info is much appreciated! Thanks again. |

HI HOOBOY SORRY I DIDN'T SEE THIS POST SOONER MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN ANSWER INSTEAD OF A HASSLE. We have used a Pile Lifter and numerous commercial vacuums.
Commercial vacs like the Sanitaire have GREAT suction, they are light weight and if you get a magnetic strip put on the nose of it, it will pick up the coins, paperclips and if your not going too fast some bigger items. (for those to lazy to bend and snap) We vacuum at the end of every cleaning our customers love it! PAD DIVA NORTH |

Okay, great. Thanks for the info. Where and when would a pile lifter be preferred to a regular vacuum cleaner; or is it just assumed it will do a superior job of vacuuming in general, seeing it has the dual motor? Specifically, is it the best choice for precleaning, or is it best used as a daily sweeper? Where are pile lifters best applied? Thanks again! |

At the risk of giving even more offense, I'll inquire further. I've never used or even seen a pile lifter. I understand by its name what its trying to do, but I'd just like a bit more information about it. (Perhaps I should just PM Ted and he can set me straight without all the hooplah.) Does a pile lifter have a bag? Are its brushes counter-rotating? How specifically does it differ from a regular vacuum cleaner? Much thanks for any info!
