I have looked through old posts but thought I'd check for any more recent thought and opinions on the best way to clean a very small area of Floatex.

Flooding isn't an option as there are kitchen units all around.

The carpet looks pretty greasy so I would like to be able to HWE with Powerburst as my prespray and therefor rinse with F & F. Is this a realistic option or will I be wasting my time with HWE.

I don't have a Dry-Fusion or even Charly Pads but I do have a rotary and a mix of MF and Texatherm Bonnets. Would it be worth going in with MPower or maybe Prochem Pureclean and a well wetted MF Pad? If so I assume that at some point I need to be going over with a dryer pad. Will this be OK or will I get buckaroo'd all around the kitchen?

This is part of a full house clean that I viewed earlier so I have to go in one way or another.

Thanks in advance

Although I don't like doing them, and in truth have only done 20 or so in 12 years, I've never had anything but satisfied clients. I've only ever used HWE. Prespray, aggitate and rinse. Job (usually) done.

You will find with a buffer unless you have the handle almost paralel to the floor it will stick to the flotex mate n will burn your motor out etc..

Maybe reall damp pads might help a bit but they will also start to bind to the flotex.

Had good results with hot hot Powerburst, really scrubbed in (I used an envirodri) and HWE.
I know you said flooding isn't an option but I literally poured the hot powerburst onto the floxtex from a bucket rather than a sprayer.

pre-spray and scrub as normal then just angle your wand during the extraction to allow some air flow,

done loads of flotex..never a problem

I agree with Mike's comment, but if you've got a glide, that will do it as well,

Yes dampen the pads before use.

Yes same as Mike H, always had happy customers, make sure to tilt wand to aid airflow

Dry fusion on flotex=really bad experiences!!
Have tried once, never again.

Thank you all for the answers.

I do have a glide already fit so it looks like a very generous dosing of pre-spray and the rest as per usual. I'll try Fusion 8 / Soluboost first as recommended on another forum. If the results are not good enough I'll go in with the mighty Powerburst.

Thanks again.
