Title: Bonnet mops recommendationd required
Post by: Linds Russell on October 26, 2010, 11:54:36 pm

Calling all rotary lovers.....

Having shopped around online for bonnet mops, there appear to be various grades of quality at many different prices from a wide range of suppliers.

What do you recommend as I am a rotary virgin and don't know what is best. I have 400mm machine.

If you want traditional style bonnets, I'd recommend these ones from John at CareCleanUK, at £16+VAT each:-

These Microfibres types are always on sale on eBay and are actually pretty good:-

If you want strong agitation, you can't go wrong with the XR Grey Pad from SolutionUK, but they are expensive at £35 each:-

Restormate also do a really good Heavy Duty (agitating) pad, at £30+VAT:-

It may surprise some people to learn that one of the lowest cost standard pads on the market is still the Dry Fusion 'standard' pad (which I have 35 of!).   But you cannot buy or order these unless you are a Dry Fusion licenced operator:-

I use and always have used texatherem cotton pads you might pay a bit more but in the long run its worth it..

They wash really good,dont shed either on the job too and will last a long time if there looked after..

Only used a few times so far but appear to do the job.

Dave

That's exactly the kind of input I was looking for.

Thanks for that!
