After watching Dave Cleaning rugs at the CCDO I fancy having a crack at it , trouble is I,ve not got a rotory machine with soft brushes , Would I be able to use a envirodry machine or am I being daft ?

Thanks  John

I would imagine that the envirodri would flick too much water up into the machine and as it isn't really designed for use with moisture at all (I know we all use them for agitating pre spray) i don't think the machine would cope too well with it!

John, just use a pile brush. Not as robust as a rotary but adequate. We used this method for years. All you are doing is dispersing the shampoo and agitating. Doesn't need to be over done as the flushing element is what makes the difference.

John I do mine with an envirodri. I clean mine the same way as Dave except I use the envirodri in stead of the rotary. ;)

The stuff he uses is a colloidal. Gets it from Lithuania or somewhere. However very similar to M Power or Nemesis.
