Going to try out my 17" Minuteman rotary today on my carpets for bonnet cleaning. I have a 2spd machine, 175/300 rpm. Which is the better speed to use?

Do the bonnets just "stick" to the standard scrub pad holder or is there a special drive base for the bonnets?

Also, my JS stocks Multi-Clean and Betco chems. Any suggestions for bonnet cleaning?

Thanks!

We use 300 for carpets, 175 for floor stripping.

Bonnets stick to the "velcro" type pad holder.

Ask your supplier which chems he recommends. I would go with a good carpet cleaning supplier, rather than a janitorial supplier

Excellent! Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, we have NO carpet cleaning supplier here in town, or in fact closer than 2 hrs away.
