I'm quite interested in the thought if a teflon glide as a way of reducing fatigue.
Has anyone got one fitted to a Hydramaster wand, or know where I can pick one up?
Anyone have anything negative to say about them?
Cheers all,
Ash

No experience of Hydramaster but I have a Westpac with a greenglide and wanding is a breeze. Some feel they may leave carpets more damp and don't get on with them but I have not noticed much difference.
-
Do you mind if I ask where you bought it? They don't seem to be all that readily available, which I thought is strange bearing in mind the amount of back injuries that carpet cleaners suffer from!
-
A glide will make life so much easier on your body, the upsides are that you get increased airflow so in theory quicker drying times the downsides are that you get reduced agitation as the glide 'glides' across the carpet fibres although if you go through the stages of cleaning agitation at the wand shouldn't be an issue.

PS I am an experienced glider ;)

The wand and glide came from cleansmart http://www.cleansmartsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/Carpet_Cleaning_Wands.html (http://www.cleansmartsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/Carpet_Cleaning_Wands.html)

I have a 4 jet westpac with greenglide. excellent. and a 2 jet wand from hydramaster with green glide also very good. not back breaking at all.
-
Is a green glide a generic fitment? Also, where the hell do you buy them from? ???
-
ive got a brand new one for sale, still in wrapper with official green glide dog tag, will fit your wand. £100 its yours.
-
£80?
-
The first ones were from Ken Harris, Greenie was a distributor for them and then made his own but has now ceased making them apparently or allegedly because of law suit, Chemdry owned the US patent, Ken Harris is in Canada.

Yea, I stumbled across a load of lawsuit threads in various US forums when I was trying to find them, I assume that's why the greenglides website is so threadbare?
-
ooooooooo hagglin, i like hagglin, £110.
-
There's a recession on, I'm a newbie, Greenglide aren't making them anymore etc etc etc. Any of these things possibly persuading you to haggle in the right direction? :P
-
if you get a 'slotted' glide they will give more agitation than a 'holed' glide,

i am haggling in the right direction.
for me anyhoo ;D
okay final offer, you drive a hard bargain, £120 but thats it.
-
Aah I see, it was me that was doing it wrong!
How about £75 and I'll even let you include postage.
Is this working for you? :)

because i'm a bloke. obviously. girl glides or gay blades are as described. ;D
ash, i like your style and because youve got the hang of haggling i'd like to let them go for £140, but only cos i like ya.
-
Ash take his £100 offer he'll have ya wife and kids next!
Shaun
-
The one i got from Cleansmart (see link in previous post) was a green glide but it will cost you £120 inc vat. Matt might do a deal with a wand worth a phone call. Derek's offer is a good one if you already have a wand and assuming it fits.
-
Shaun,
If he agrees to take the wife, I would gladly pay him much more than £100...
;D

ha ha ha very funny! >:( ;D

Wasn’t that impressed with my glides (both types kept clogging up total frustration) has any one tried Slide Binders? ;D
-
Used to use a glide - don't anymore - result, cleaner dryer carpets, and a better workout.
Used to use 2" wands - don't anymore - result, just as clean, just as dry - easier to handle.
Used to use a Ti Wand complete with glide - apart from awkwardness of handling - probably the best wand/glide on the market.
