New place to order pads

[ChemBright]

Just bought 10 blue micros and 2 grey w/scrubbing strip from this place. There prices on the blue 19" are 1.50 cheaper than Hagco and Hagco is all out of the bonnets. They also have free shipping on any order over $50.

Just thought I would share.

That is a good deal. I paid 18.00 for the 19 inch micro at janitors world http://www.janitors-world.com/19micabo.html. 

It doesn't look like the same pad though. It's grey with blue stripes 80% Polyester 20% Polyamide Made in China. The Polyamide might be the stripes. I haven't tried the pad yest but the stitching on the edges look very durable.
When I called Hagco they were waiting for their shipment from Korea.

Jon-
Lets us know how they work out.

Will do. I am a little woried about them breaking down along the seam.

I've been using those pads "occasionally" since getting the Trinity.  That thing beats the heck out of them and they hold up pretty well under it.  The stitching in the middle circles eventually gives out but they probably will last longer under the orbot.  I use them sort of like a pre-scrub.  Go over 2 or 3 areas then follow back over with glads.  You may well use them differently that I do, but I suspect you'll like them.  I paid a few bucks more per pad where I got them, hadn't found that site yet.

Cool, good to know Grant.

before I knew Mike had MF's I ordered a bunch from WWW.swedeclean.com 5 21 inch MF's for 65.00 I have had good success with them on My OP and rotary. I have yet bust a seam while using one. They are more aggresive than a Tuway but do not pick up as well as a glad. I use them mostly on plush res. I have designated a couple for CGD

Just got an email from them that my order has already shipped. I like that!

The Microfiber on Directmopsales are from China.

I ordered some sample pads from them last summer.

So you were supporting china when you bought that pad right? Thought you only bought American like Ford? 

[Mike M]

NO - They don't say they are from China. 

Should have know though. Something that is that much cheaper than others is usually from China.

Are there any microfiber pads made in the US?

I for one don't care where they're made, as long as they do a good job.

That's why I drive a Japanese car.

I have the flue right now so keep in mind Iam cranky right now but, I get tired of this whole "buy American" attitude and if someone happens to buy foreign they are anti American. I can almost guarantee you that someone with that attitude has a tv made in japan or China. It's kinda like the animal activist that says "meat is murder" and yet they have a leather belt and shoes on.

The end.

[Mike M]

Unfortunately there are some items that are just not made in USA any more.

You have a choice of an imported TV or no TV. I do own a TV.

Its too late to matter anyway. The damage has been done.

Chem - Hope you feel better soon.

I just wish they were still making the Astrovan, 2005 was the last year because they thought the American company needed more space.  If they cut it back to a 2wd (for the MPG) and came back with the Astro I think it would be a hit.

Its not that china is in the market place the problem is way to much of what we buy is made in China and not near enough is from the US. Go to Home Depo and find a US product. Its not easy. The US needs to manufacture more, like we used to..
