Spoke to Nick a couple of weeks ago. In an effort to help he did make me wonder.

He said he was selling microfibre pads which users where getting just as good results and are a lot cheaper and he had them in stock. I declined.

Since then I've been using Thermadry pads from John and do an adequate job with m/s.

'He said he was selling microfibre pads which users where getting just as good results and are a lot cheaper and he had them in stock'

it makes me laugh : : I wonder if this would have been said if Solution still sold  charly pads, and more interesting is, if  microfibre pads were sold at the same times as Charly pads ......why? 

as Nick says 'microfibre pads get as good as result as charly pads, but are cheaper'

perhaps there was more profit in selling charly pads

My thoughts exactly,he sold the charly pads on the pre-tense they did not need laundered but microfibre pads do.How many other products will be better than the solution ones now he cannot supply them :

Always preferred d/f to charly pads

Pretty sure we have all thought we were using 'best thing since sliced bread' ........... only to have a change of heart later  :

I only bonnet buff, 450rpm ,and have done for 15 years. Had a ninja once but sold it as bonnets were better from a business perspective.

He said he was selling microfibre pads which users where getting just as good results and are a lot cheaper and he had them in stock.

So I was sold £200 of stuff (pads, bucket system) by Uncle Nic because there was nothing better when in fact there was something as good and cheaper.
I've kept going with his M/S stuff in the belief that it was the way forward even though I continue to doubt their effectiveness. Then there's the business over this Allerg Stop stuff and I'm starting to think a lot of us have been well and truely done over.

Ian marketing bollo c k s, no way can a pad system do that. The carpet has been preped before hand.

If that was the case every carpet cleaner on the planet would use it. 

[ian loughlin]

what is your view on the cmx20 machine.... the bottom link???

[jasonl]

It can do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I and many others do it every day!!!!!!!!!!

If I get an invite to ccdo ill bring the kit.

[ian loughlin]

I dont think you need an invite to the ccdo, take a look at the post at the top of the page.

It would be fantastic if you brought the machine i would love to check it out.

It seems to me, that there are alot of rotary cleaners that are giving great results with less chemicals,time and water. The main thing is that the process is alot faster and better for your back!!

[*paul_moss]

Jasonl if your going to CCDO, please bring it with you, I would love to see it.

I have used most low moisture cleaning systems and although they can give a good visual clean finish which is fine for commercial work, I have yet to see one that has no residue/soil to a white towel/pad that is wiped over the carpet afrterwards.
If this system does do that then I will buy one on April 8th.

[jasonl]

I too have yet to see an extraction machine that passes the white towel test, ill buy one that does on 8/04
