How do the micro fiber pads work for those using them ? Do you use them for drying or cleaning ? I know when i clean this fabric it really drinks solution..just wondering if they are a good buy.
thanx
September 23, 2010 at 11:05 pm #154592tjbackParticipantI use them on high dollar carpet & I like the way they clean. I don’t use them on rental property or real dirty carpet.
September 27, 2010 at 2:57 am #154593AnonymousInactiveI really like them. I find they are very effective on all types of carpet but especially berber and commercial type carpet. It takes a bit to trust them as they are blue and you don’t see the soil on them. We always finish towel residential so we can guage their effectiveness. They are very absorbent so you may want to rewet between passes. I feel they are well worth the investment.
September 29, 2010 at 9:22 pm #154594hbottumwaParticipantDitto!!
I use them first pass unless I’m cleaning a thick shag carpet. Then I use a BBC first.
Sometimes I also finish with a micro fiber pad when towel after towel still comes up dark.January 11, 2011 at 1:55 am #154595AnonymousInactivei am going to give them a whirl nevt order. i will post feedback also , thanks guys
January 13, 2011 at 11:12 pm #154596AnonymousInactiveIf if is hard to see the soil on them, how does one know when to flip it ovewr or change it out? Or does one assume that it needs changeing based on how the carpet looks. I havn’t odered any yet but may the next time I need pads.
January 14, 2011 at 5:09 am #154597hbottumwaParticipantThey are more absorbent but don’t show the dirt unless it’s real dirty. To gauge the amount of soil your dealing with, you still need to use other pads or use the towels after using MF pads. To me it’s like a cross between the BBC pad and the woven turf pad. Again soils are different nation/world wide. What works super great here may not work as well somewhere else. I really like MF pads. I don’t clean without them.
January 28, 2011 at 2:50 am #154598Linda OrrKeymasterI am still a bit sceptical but one of my techs loves them. Says they are way good. I do like the fact that I can wash them in my own washer because they aren’t as bulky as the other pads. I too use the finishing towel to determine if the carpet is clean.
February 4, 2011 at 10:56 pm #154591AnonymousInactiveI like the pads I use them on commercial carpet seems to work well the only thing some times the edges rip open so be carefull on edges.
February 6, 2011 at 11:03 am #154599AnonymousInactiveI find these pads to work well on the low nap commercial carpets. Seems the lower the nap, the better they work.
February 16, 2011 at 7:50 pm #154600Linda OrrKeymasterStarted drying the pads and my techs say they do work better that way.
February 28, 2011 at 2:42 pm #154601UtaatuParticipantI like the micro fiber pads. I use them on all types carpet. I did a test. Used a fiber pad & a woven turf pad side by side then followed up with a towel.The side with the micro fiber came up cleaner on the towel. They also seem to last longer. The fibers on the cotton pads start breaking down after only a couple of uses. They are smaller so you can fit more in the washer & they don’t take as long to dry,so if you use the laundry mat that’s less money & time.
March 28, 2011 at 1:08 am #154602schubertParticipanti guess i’m a little old school! i still like woven turf pads , but my tec does like them on low nap or berber. i guess we need to do a little test in this area with our soil conditions
April 4, 2011 at 12:51 pm #154603CA132ParticipantI’m starting to come around a little. Didn’t like them at first, but the more I use them the better I like them. Not being able to see the dirt was the biggest thing. Berber and low nap carpets is where they shine! 😀
April 12, 2011 at 4:32 pm #154604Linda OrrKeymasterMy techs like to use them on all types of carpet. If I have an extremely dirty carpet, i like to use either of the white pads until I can see it is close to being clean. This saves on the use of finishing towels.
