Yes Brian your method is correct.

Thanks Mark hope it looks ok when finished?

I've never dunked the bonnets, just give them a dampening with the pump sprayer.

I'd have a trigger spray hooked into my pocket to give a quick shot of stronger stuff on any marks that don't seem to be shifting.

from what ive discovered so far.
a bonnet clean will give a better result (visually) on a low profile office carpet but!
i cleaned an office carpet on thursday night, i used HWE with an rx, when emptying the tank, the water was absolutly filthy, (not been cleaned for 2 years).
now there was still shading where the door was and some of the chairs where they spin round, yet i feel the way i cleaned was far more beneficial to the client in this case due to the length of time between cleans, i will be going back in 6 months to do a bonnet clean and expect to get better results, this was the advice i gave the client and she was ok with this, there is no way i could of got all that soiil out with just a bonnet clean and i'm presuming if i had of bonnetted then traffic lanes would have appeared more quickly.

so from now on, if i come across a LPC that has not been cleaned for a while, i will quote for a full HWE followed by traffic lane bonnetting, but educate the client as to why they need both cleaning processes, something i didn't do this time, i'm going back monday night to bonnet, for free, (my fault)
then hopefully they'll still use me every 6 months.

Bonnet cleaning is ok on low profile tiles, I would go for HWE in a hotel on BW prob too heavily soiled for LM.
Bonneting would be ok every 3 months for a maintainance clean. I bet the bonnets were black, how many did you get through John?
