I have used my bonnet system a handful of times, what struck me was the colour of the water, no where near as much dirt in the water, i did three rooms and the one i HWE the water was filthy, so HWE then bonnet is best by far, i only bonnet when i have to.
If you pre-vac , starting with an empty bag , then mix the contents of the bag once you have finished with water , you will have the same result, bonnetting is about DRY soils, not loose soils ,which are raked and vacced out before any pre spray hits the carpet.
Hi Jason,
You are obviously experienced with bonneting, you always highlight how important pre vaccing is first.
Quick question what vac do you use?? Is it a pile lifter or just regular vac?
Did a job last week and it was my second time bonneting and I HWE first, then bonneted using Prochem bonnett Buff.
Wasnt one bit happy with the job after, but have to admit it was fairly bad to start with.
Interesting thing was, that after I had bonneted the real bad parts this is after I had HWE them, it wicked right back after, and looked almost worse. Looked great when they were done, but terrible afterwards.
Still got paid but was very disappointed with the overall finish.
