33 views and not one reply, someone must have an opinion ?

 I'm not looking for a debate on wet against dry as i have a ninja aswell, but as i'm sure most would agree, wet isn't always the most viable option especially for maintenance cleans.

So come on folks don't be shy

Sorry Arthur I hevent realy got an opinion but thought id post so you dont feel like your being ignored  :D :D

Ive only used fibre dri in the past with host machine, not bad but found I had to do alot of spotting by hand, I believe host are the best sponges but at the top of the price scale too, as for the best sponge or "corn husk" with the best value for monney, ive a blind woodland animal im afraid

I to have only used two types of dry cleaning compounds (host & Prochem) and found the Prochem " stuff " more effective especially when used with Prespray Gold.

Envirodri is the way to go used most of the dry cleaning compounds and found them to be the best value for money.They clean well using m/s and vacuum up better than the host product.Solution have brought a new forumla type product which I tried but found the granules too big.Envirodri will send you a free sample to try ask for Jan and tell her Steve Gunn put you onto her.

what benefit do sponges have over bonnets? I can seen why some one would offer a dry carpet cleaning service but why chose dry compound when  I would think  bonnet dry cleaning would be better.

I went to a demo of the Cimex which has turned the clock back, somewhat, by advocating foam, but an evolved product, with added silicone, which, they claim, extends the period between cleans.

Compared to the 'dry powder' principle, I would definitely look at this system before deciding,

I would tend to agree with Mike H, that bonnet mopping would be my preferred option if comparing powder with bonnet

having to vacuum after cleaning is a chore and bonnet mopping is much quicker
