What are the best/cheapest micro-sponges to use with the Envirodri machine?
Cheers.

Fibre dri from prochem is about £30 for a 25kg tub.

Fibre dri is a solvent based product (or it used to be)
Why not just use the EnviroDri sponges, they are the best ones, just use portion control.

What portion sizes do you use.
And do you prespray/aggitate another chemical first before going in with the sponges.

I prespray with EnviroDri presrpay
Agitate
Then sprinkle the sponges over the area (you can clump it if required)
Brush in
Leave to dry
Vac up
Spot with EnviroDri spotter or their gum remover for solvent spils
Paid and dry to go

Yeah man
I use a plastic pressure spayer. I usually mix up 5 Ltr's at a time, you measure 4 cap fulls (of the 500ml) to 1 ltr, so 40 caps for 5 ltrs.
Pump it up and spray left to right, turn 90 degrees and spray l to r again.
The pre spray comes in 500 Ml or 5 Ltrs. I prefer the 500 ml as it is easier to measure it out.

Hi
Not sure.
The 12 Kg tubs usually cost about £37.67Inc VAT & delivery.
I usually earn about £500-600 per tub, depending on carpet type and pricing.
I.e. if for an LA or private.
I prefer it as it really is carpet cleaning made easy.

What math?
I have been using the 5 ltr for a while but as I remember it, it was/is 8 caps for 1 ltr of prespray (4 for 500ml) so 5 ltrs would be 8x5
