Going the cheap route will not get the best results-----stick with the tools you have until you are ready to do a better job. Better tools pay for more referrals from customers
Micro fiber pads with scrub strips and then absorbent micro fiber pads will scrub and absorb soil and do less tip blooming compared to cotton bonnets.----need a velcro pad driver type machine
Any cheap oscillating car buffer works but the motors bogg down when applying pressure
The good the bad and the ugly------- machines---- $350--$600---- plus pads
Hos micro here at excellent supply is the best for your back--------after any brush aggitation you need to run absorbent pads---not sure how many pad options without a velcro driver
Stepson with glad pads from trsorg.com strong motor larger orbit than car buffers or the small oreck orbitor and works good ----- hard on your back if you do a lot of stairs---can run with 21 inch pads up to handles
oreck orbitor with handle works good and you can stand up and do carpet riser from above each step----but motor boggs down and can not put a lot of pressure on carpet -----need 13-15 inch pads
I have better results using multiple pads on stairs then using my truckmount with stair tools------videos on youtube-------hoppecarpet
