Like your philosophy Nightrider.

I groom the prespray and I groom at the end.

It assists in the drying time by allowing airflow.

LeeS.....surely you dont "groom" your prespray on every job. Grooming is to enhance the looks....and it would be a waste of time to do before the rinse. Im sure you mean "agitate"....but anyway....you do the entire carpet this way? or just the traffic and heavily soiled areas?

What wrong with the swirl marks...it seems grooming only knocks off 30 min of drying time(from my test?)
