Whats the benefit/purpose of a glide?
#2
I'm a bit confused (not unusual), with your term "Velcro Glides".

Teflon Glides go under the lip of a carpet wand when using hot or cold water extraction cleaning.

The Glide I THINK you are referring to is the one for op or rotary type machines that have a backing of Velcro. ??

The purpose of these in my opinion, is to break down the surface tension of the carpet.

This means that when using a bonnet on the carpet, this creates drag on the carpet and also bogging down of the motor which could burn the motor out.

Placing a Glide underneath will reduce that surface tension because the Glide is smooth and will allow the bonnet to run easily over the surface.

I hope that is correct, if I'm wrong please tell me, 'cos; I still forget things. Rolleyes
