Sounds interesting....here come the questions

Brushes are colour coded, right Which colour?
Pads, where would I get these?

Sorry to drain your knowledge

Any rotary ,, lots of people say slow speed , I use fast though . I have owned Victor/ jeyes/numatic in the past. I suppose condition /looks would be my biggest buying motivator. These machines have always been very hardy and I ditch them due to looking tatty long before they break

 I use a medium brush, I do not know about colour coding.

Pads  , world of clean sell them.

Thank you I am grateful for your help. Sooo much research!

I like the thought of L/M cleaning IF it produces the desired result. I am not saying here that HWE does not have it's place in the market but the 'cowboys' have done damage to the marketplace

The other good thing about LM is, there are chemicals out there that clean and also have protective properties Can't for the life of me remember the name of the stuff!

I've been doing some research into Rotary Machine cleaning of carpets and there appears to be a lot of conflicting advice (on this forum & elsewhere) regarding this cleaning method.
Could anyone using this method to clean carpets on a regular basis clarify the equipment needed, including:

The best size & speed Rotary machine to use.
The best pads to use and where to purchase them.
The best chemicals to use with this method.
The best method Vacuum, Pre-Spray, Aggitate, Rotary, Set the pile

Is this method suitable for domestic situations or is it best suited for Commercial applications?

Thank you again in advance

Phil
