Orbital Machines

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using the orbital machines like the Clarke Bos-18 or the Square Scrub on carpet? Would it work or would it damage the carpet?

You'll go faster with Rick's spotting Zebra brush & a spray bottle. It is SLOOOW.

Anyone else have any idea if this machine would work or not?

Saw it at the Clarke booth at the ISSA show in Chicago. I was curious too. So they let me try it on carpet. It was TERRIBLE. Very rough!!! And it would be destructive to the carpet. That particular machine will not work on carpet.

Well that stinks I was hoping it would work. It does work well for stripping VCT with out chemicals though.
