Shorty 

How do you guys with orbital machines go about getting into the corners ??

I think from fading memory, the rags/pads/bonnets/whatever you call them, do a pretty good job along the edge of the carpet, but the corners have me a bit confused.

And that's not hard happy.gif

Sort of like putting a round block into a square hole, eh ??

Thanks Rambo, I can see it coming wink.gif

Ooroo,

Shorty.



PS ::: As the inimitable Steve would do, one more silly question, what orbital machine would be your preference for commercial work ??

Such a machine should also be capable of accepting both drive board and brush.


PPS ::: I want an answer before you go to bed and knock off for the week-end wink.gif

I've seen the light, and changed my wicked ways. wink.gif

They still have square corners down there Shorty?

You know how to drive a redneck crazy?  Put him in a round room and tell him to go sit in the corner.

1) Soft deck brush on telescopic handle.
2)Doodle Bug-white pad on telescopic handle.

I use the edge brush that Rick sells. I like the idea of the softer plastic on the baseboards as opposed to the edge of a carpet wand.

i don't include the 6 square inches of each corner in my quote.

and then i vacuum them for free...

fortunately my clients don't walk on the corners. and the free vac job i give them gets the webs that remain.

i call it value added service.

A white deck brush on a pole works for us.
