Title: cimex encapsulation, brushes vs pads
Post by: gaz1984mcc on September 04, 2012, 05:11:02 pm: Hi i just wanted to know if anyone on the forum has used the brushes and pads with there cimex machine.
and just wondered if the pads perform better than the brushes.

Thank you

Post by: gaz1984mcc on September 04, 2012, 09:18:06 pm: cheers Dave I take it you find them better than brushes then?
I'm picking one up on Sunday it's only the smaller 15" RS38 model it comes with brushes. But i didn't think they would be much kop compared to the pads. now I've just got to try and find some pad drivers and pads now to fit this model I cant seem to find them anywhere.

Thanks

Gary

Think of it like this.
You have a dirty frying pan with burnt on food.
To remove it with a brush it will need a lot of soaking and scrubbing.
A green sponge scourer will work faster.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3862-Pad-Holder-Cimex-Truvox-Cleaning-Industrial-/350359077532?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item519307429c#ht_600wt_823 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3862-Pad-Holder-Cimex-Truvox-Cleaning-Industrial-/350359077532?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item519307429c#ht_600wt_823)

This is way more competitive than I can be. It is in fact less than I pay for them.

As for pads that I can help with if you have trouble sourcing them.

Can you get the Fibreplus pads for the CR38?

Thanks
Title: Re: cimex encapsulation, brushes vs pads
Post by: Jamie Pearson on September 05, 2012, 03:08:54 pm: Afraid not. 8" and 17" only

There are alternatives for the CR38
Title: Re: cimex encapsulation, brushes vs pads
Post by: gaz1984mcc on September 05, 2012, 06:03:01 pm: Jamie how do the alternative pads compare to the fibreplus pads? or can they be cut down to size?

Thank you

Gary
Title: Re: cimex encapsulation, brushes vs pads
Post by: Jamie Pearson on September 05, 2012, 06:32:42 pm: The fibre plus pads are the best pads I have used as they are designed for use specifically on carpets and not floor pads being used on carpets.

You could cut them down if desired. The 6" pads I have are a lot cheaper but dont have the same lifespan.
