Microfiber GLIDE gentle microfibre bonnet, 8 inch (20 cm), sold each.
Soft microfiber bonnet. These microfiber bonnets absorb soil very well. This bonnet's yarn is ideal for softer carpet fibre.
Why Microfibre
The beauty of microfiber is the fibre itself. Microfiber has the ability to trap soil within its microfiber strands. Each strand of fibre has the ability to capture and hold soil more efficiently than cotton or other synthetic fibres. And since the base fibre is made from polyester it also rinses very easily. Microfiber bonnets are extremely durable too.
Because microfiber has more surface area, it has the ability to absorb even more soil than cotton. Microfiber is also gentler on the carpet than other fibres because it has such a small denier; 1/100th the diameter of a human hair. Bonnets made from microfiber are also easier to launder than other types of bonnets.
Where It Fits
US distributors list the 8 inch GLIDE for routine bonnet cleaning and low-moisture encapsulation cleaning, on multi-head machines (such as the 19 inch CIMEX, which runs three 8 inch heads) and on drill-driven pad drivers. It is the gentle option: soft yarn for softer carpet fibres rather than an aggressive scrub.
- For more scrubbing on commercial loop pile, look at a scrub-strip bonnet or a pad such as FiberPlus MAX 8 inch.
- For durability and PadCapping with an encapsulation detergent, see the Tuway Thin One 8 inch.
Check the Size Before Ordering
Measure the pad driver on your machine. An 8 inch bonnet on a driver of a different diameter will not track properly. On multi-head machines, replace all heads together so they wear evenly.
Care and Laundering
- Rinse thoroughly after each use.
- Machine wash with a standard detergent.
- No bleach and no fabric softener — softener coats the fibre and destroys absorbency.
- Air dry where possible.
- Replace when the backing or the fibres show visible wear.
Care points are as published by US distributors of the GLIDE range; no manufacturer laundering specification is on file.
