I have 2 commercial jobs tomorrow, about 7k sq ft of carpet. One is 5 of the floors, hallways and lobbies in a big apartment building. I'm glad I have a van now, there is no way I could get my trailer into this metro area. I am going to rent a Cimex for $50 from our local supplier. Never used one before except a 30 second tutorial at his shop.

I'm thinking of bringing my 175 to post bonnet some of the heavily trafficked areas. I've never done solely vlm cleaning before. I've always extracted heavily soiled areas and did vlm in the lighter areas.

There’s a tutorial on Rick’s website on how to use it.

Post bonneting with cotton/blend pads in the high traffic areas is a must with a Cimex imo

Gives OP type results and longevity.

Eventually you'll get an OP and simplify things.
