Pads and Bonnets? Do i need both?

[encapman]

Some carpet cleaners regularly pre-scrub all their carpets with FiberPlus pads, followed by post-bonnet cleaning. It's a thorough approach, and it works! The FiberPlus pads definitely provide the highest level of agitation, so there's merit to that two step method. But in a lot of cases, there will be sufficient agitation with microfiber bonnets by themselves to get the job done. I guess the best course of action is to keep your options open. I think that you can do fine with bonnets alone for most carpet. However having the FiberPlus pads on hand can add extra agitation to the cleaning, and that can be very helpful when you need it.
