Absorbent Pad Cleaning Bonnet cleaning is a method usually used for interim maintenance of carpet. In light to medium soil conditions, it can be highly effective in restoring the appearance and removing surface soil. It is best suited for low-pile commercial carpet and is not recommended for high-pile carpet. It may even void warranties in some situations.
Procedure:
- Vacuum the carpet thoroughly.
- Apply Hydro-Break using a pump-up or electric sprayer.
- Dampen a Microfibre or regular bonnet with your Hydro-Break solution.
- Using a 175rpm rotary floor machine and bonnet, buff the carpet with overlapping strokes. This is the soil extraction part of this method. The bonnet absorbs the soil and spent solution.
- Neutralise by misting a solution of Fab Set on the carpet.
- Set the pile with a brush or Grandi Groomer if necessary.
- Apply Maxim Carpet Protector.
- Enhance drying with air movers and proper ventilation.
