I disagree on the bit about the brushes being too soft.
I use them for cleaning Oriental rugs and they are perfect.
It's a case of choosing the right piece of equipment for the job at hand.
Just the same as what pads will you use on carpet, Fibre Plus or Fibre Plus Max ??
Each ingredient is an integral part of the cleaning pie if you like,
On a trashed carpet you would use the Max to get a good result, whereas on most carpets, the Fibre Plus would be the norm, however, for a delicate rug, I prefer the soft brushes.
I did try the harder brushes and found them too abrasive for what I was cleaning, but they are excellent for other surfaces.
This is only my opinion and please bare in mind, all my work is upside down compared to yours
Cheers,
Shorty.
I've seen the light, and changed my ways.
PS::: If the carpet is that cheap & thin that the pads may damage, it might be a good idea to walk on this job.
