Are there any carpet brushes that can be attached to a DA?
 
Does anyone know if these will work on the Griots 6" machine?

Thanks,

Tim
 
Skimming the descriptions, I didn't see a diameter, will they fit on my Flex?

If so, Is it not recommended because you can't stop the Flex from rotating? I recall someone saying that the brushes worked really well with the old PC because when it stopped rotating, the brush jiggled "into" the carpet instead of brushing the carpet fibers to where they lay down. Seems logical.

Feed back please

Maybe I'll buy an old PC off eBay or something just to play with.

Just gotta find the happy medium of pressure to machine setting to get cleaning action without throwing shampoo suds around the interior and garage :)

The screw into a DA just like a regular backing plate. So if a traditional backing plate fits on the Griot 6", then yes, they will work on that machine.

If I'm doing upholstery, does the PC stop the brush from turning or does that take a lot of pressure to make this happen?

It doesn't take alot of pressure. Because the surface of upholstery is not as smooth as paint (obviously) there is more friction to "catch" the brush and stop it from spinning, only oscilating (sp?).

I didn't have alot of problems with suds flying around. I was using Detailer's Pride's carpet and uphostery cleaner which in my opinions suds quite a bit and I was able to keep the suds pretty much on the carpet. Once I use up the DP product, I will be switching to Meg's APC+ which I imagine will sud much less.

It was a learning experience is all. First time I used it i lift up at times that were not ideal :)

To be honest I do not use the brush much anymore.... I just pre treat agitate by hand brush... 10 min dwell then steam and wipe.... and steam and wipe.... then extract out the cleaners (folex or APC+ or both)
