Which bonnet?
« on: July 08, 2012, 01:32:46 pm »
Just wondering what peoples choice of bonnet is?

I currently use a microfiber one like the first bonnet on the restoremate website http://www.restormate.co.uk/epages/15094.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/15094/Products/0002e
I want to try out some different types particularly for use with heat. What is everyone's recommendations?...

That is the sort I use all the time.

They last ages too.

Don't do no heat so can't help there.

Hector, are you the ugly one out of Little house on the Prairie? 

It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

I have found the restormate microfibre bonnet achieves great results.

Having used, microfibre, cotton (Prochem) and charly pads i have to say the microfibre pads were the least effective.

I think if your going for value for money then the cotton pads Prochem sell are brilliant.  Get results every time whereas the microfibre pads are very poor on anything that is even remotely dirty.

I disagree..

Microfibre I use all the time and they absorb an awful lot more dirt than the ordinary cotton ones, and you can turn them over before having to get another one.

I disagree hector, I have found the microfibre pads do not absorb as well as the Cotton type.  You can also turn the cotton pads over before having to get another one.

well...

I have ordered some of the thinner scrub pads so I will compare them first.
 
I am suprised this being a carpet cleaning forum and all... that only three ;D people have an opinion on what pads/bonnets are best.  ;D

i agree with richie, i had a couple of the microfibre pads from solutions, i found them rubbish, ended up giving them to Ash White, i now use the cotton ones from restormate, much much better than the microfibre, just my opinion

it not just me that thinks the microfibre ones are rubbish :)   If you want the ULTIMATE in pads then CHARLY pads are the ones to go for however they do cost around £65 each.  If you are to use the padding system on a regular basis then CHARLY pads are worth a look at.

I only LM clean, and use the microfibre ones to great effect, so as I said earlier horses for courses.

It may be how you use them.
