I do believe it does leave residue in the carpet, but not to the fact that it will be darker in a month. Encapsulates do crystallize and break off the sides of the fibers. If you look at many business that use this method there carpet isn't black. I how ever still think HWE if done right is better, if you can reach.

Guys,
I use bonnetts ( Thick- Chem Dry Like) and a 17 " buffer , but I also use OP pads first before I use the bonnett pad. I use the Green Striped pads like the one in the video only on Berber as a pre- scrub Pad before I use the bonnett pad. The Best of both worlds. If you use bonnetts try an OP Pad first and watch spots and stains get destroyed. You have to stay off the seams though.

Do an evaporation test out of a cap with whatever products you use and wait for the residue results. There is good residue and bad residue. The bad will be oily to the touch. The good will be dry and flakey that encapsulates and comes out with a vacuuming. |

Hi Padman,
have been using bonet for years with great results - however Iam convinced that OP has an edge, primarily because it attachs the fibers from multiple directions. it makes sense. A couple of questions:
1) Does OP use up more pads than bonnet (less sqft pr.pad)
2) Do OP pads wear out quicker since they are thinner ?
3) Does OP cleaning leave carpet feeling crunchy as it can with bonnet/shampoo
3) which machine do you recommend
4) Which pads and chemicals
Thanks for your insights !

1) Does OP use up more pads than bonnet (less sqft pr.pad)
Used to by quite a bit, however with the advent of the new Gladiator pads, that is no longer the case. 2) Do OP pads wear out quicker since they are thinner ? We suspect about 150 uses with the new pads, which makes them pretty darn durable. 3) Does OP cleaning leave carpet feeling crunchy as it can with bonnet/shampoo Not at all, it leaves it SOFT. 3) which machine do you recommend For residential and commercial we recommend the 17" Commercial Breeze, it is a highspeed orbital and cleans quicker than ANY competitor model plus it is large enough to do most commercial jobs. 4) Which pads and chemicals For medium to Nasty filthy carpets, Clean-N-Vac Blaze, for carpet that need deodorizing Clean-N-Vac PadCap Pro, both of them we use with the gladiator pads. |

Thanks Padman - one last question:
One downside with bonnet is the weight of the machine - mine clocks in at 110LBS dry (hard to carry upstairs) - how about the 17"breeze ? another issue with pad cleaning is stairs - how do you handle steps and landings ? Thanks again

Padman,
Tell us about the Gladiator Pads.
What are they made of? Do they absorb as much soil and water as others?
Are they more or less economical to use?
Are they more or less aggressive?
