Pads and Bonnets? Do i need both?

[cookiemonster]

Thanks for your reply. The reason I am asking is that I went to a job yesterday and used my bonnets I got from you for the first time. The carpet was heavily soiled but the microbeast bonnets were a little to abrasive for the type of carpet and the micro glide bonnets were I bit on the soft side for the amount of staining on the carpet. I did get the carpet clean with a little dwell time and a few extra passes but just wondered if there was anything I could have done to have got it done quicker and a bit more thoroughly.

Also, would using a carpet agitator like a sebo make the job easier before using the rotary?

Thanks
