Have a pub carpet to do next week. its a synthetic carpet, im still not great at identifying the exact type but its not to dissimalar to carpet tiles, except its not tiles, A needlepunch perhaps? its not in to bad of a state - bit of beer stains and chewing gum here and there. Whats the best way to approach this - hot water extraction or low moisture? if low moisture, i have a slow speed rotary, but what type of pad can i use on it ( apart from the charley pad) can I just use a normal nylon bonnet mop pad?
Many thanks

If you want to remove soiling, you really want cotton bonnets.

Hi Rob

sorry, yes, thats what I mean, cotton bonnot mop. IS there much of a difference between this method and hwe on this type of floor? I get the impression that the low moisture might suit it better?
Thanks

I'll go along with that too.  HWE did me OK in this situation.  However I don't bonnet (as yet) so I can only confirm, in this situation, with the effectiveness of the method I used (HWE).

From someone who prefers using LM systems when it comes to pub carpets out comes the HWE.

thats great - thanks for the advice - how about on carpet tiles - badly stained pharmacy floor?

h/w every time & a high ph cleaner, like "champion", no solvents, because they are usally bitu/rub back.
