If you’re going to start a carpet cleaning business, you need some carpet cleaning pads or “bonnets.”

Me personally? I’m a huge fan of the woven, rayon pads you can find right here.

Still on the fence about these pads? Let me give you 3 reasons to buy some right now:

1. These pads come in several sizes. Whether you’ve got a small or large buffer, these pads will work for you
2. They are relatively cheap! Sure you can find cheaper pads out there. But trust me… they are cheaper for a reason. You want high quality pads for your business. They’ll last longer and get you better results.
3. Speaking of results, I love the results I get from these woven pads. I haven’t found a pad I like better. And I’ve tested them all.

Go out and buy some of these pads. Let me know what you think of them.

Next time we chat, I’ll tell you about another important piece of equipment you’ll need for your new business.

The post Why I Love Woven, Rayon Pads For VLM Carpet Cleaning appeared first on VLMtraining.com.

Last time we talked about carpet cleaning pads or “bonnets” and why they are so important.

Reminder: I recommend these white rayon pads with green scrubbing strips.

If your budget allows, I recommend buying at least 1-2 dozen pads. I keep 25-50 pads in my van at all times.

That’s because a good VLM cleaner will use between 1-3 pads PER ROOM that they clean. That adds up quickly!

I’ve had carpet cleaning jobs where I used a couple dozen pads to get the carpets clean.

The dirtier the carpets… the more pads you’ll need to use. So buy a few!

Now… you don’t want to buy any old pad on the internet.

I’ve also talked to hundreds of other carpet cleaners who have tried every single cheap pad out there. The white pads, microfiber pads, thick pads, thin pads, green stripe, brown stripe, blue stripe, etc.

After hours of testing and hundreds of dollars wasted… they always arrive at the same conclusion: get the white rayon pads with green stripes.

You’ll find that these pads get better results and last longer.

P.S. – You’ll need to wash these pads after every use. Personally, I like to stop at the laundromat at the end of the day and toss all my pads in a big $6.00 washer (price may vary in your area). Put a little non-scented laundry detergent in and run it on HOT. Then hang your pads dry for the next day.

P.P.S. – It’s okay if your pads aren’t 100% dry after hanging overnight. You don’t need to completely dry the pads before you use them again. In fact, a “moist” pad will actually work better for VLM cleaning. Some pro carpet cleaners even spray a little cleaning solution on their pads (or dip them in water) before they start cleaning.

The post What Are The Best Bonnets Or “Pads” For VLM Carpet Cleaning? appeared first on VLMtraining.com.

Last time we talked, I told you all about floor buffers. But I left out 1 important detail…

You’re going to need some cleaning pads for your buffer.

Carpet cleaning pads or “bonnets” are the round fabric piece that goes between the buffer and the carpet. The pads scrub the fibers and soak up cleaning solution (and the dirt, grime, and “yuck” that’s broken down in your cleaning solution).

If you want to get the carpets really clean, you’ll need the best pads.

I highly recommend these white rayon pads with green scrubbing strips. Click here to buy some now.

You can get them in any quantity (bulk discounts!) and in multiple sizes. So they will fit on your Oreck Orbiter or any 17” buffer you might buy in the future.

P.S. – Buy enough pads that you can use at least 1-2 pads per room on each job. (I normally keep at least 25-50 pads in the van, but you don’t need that many to start).
