Black sock fluff
« on: March 16, 2012, 08:09:39 pm »
Can anyone recommend a method of shifting this, even after double vacuum etc still visible.
Anything basic , ie special hand brush etc that can be used?

Appreciate any ideas!

Rotary machine or rub a rubber souled trainer over the area can work

You said it already Brian, a hand brush... bristle stiffest suitable for carpet type.

A bonnet also can work very well.  I sometimes use my minitex with a bonnet pad on it, works very well in most cases.

I do and it works a treat... Just avoid using it on loop pile/berber for obvious reasons...

Roundabout 300, should come with drive plate and 5 bonnet pads.  Other attachments are about 15-20 each.  I would recommend getting the tampico and the soft (not stiff) plastic scrubbing brush, and also a range of floor pads.

As I mainly use mine on residential jobs I got fed up tripping over/winding up the 60ft of cable and chopped it in half..

The mini tex is well worth getting as it does come in usefull.

Also use a rotary i find usefull to help getting rid of the black sock fluff on traffic lanes.
