Upholstery cleaning and your back

July 4 2010 at 9:54 PM
Shorty  

I don't know about you blokes, but I clean a lot of upholstery.

I love cleaning upholstery with a passion.

Over the years I have used many devices to put pieces of furniture on.

In this instance, I'm talking about the cushions.

We have stood at the back of the three seat sofa with a drop sheet and cleaned the cushions on top of the back rest.

I didn't like it as it looked like what a cowboy would do. wink.gif

I've had many different tables, usually camp types with collapsible legs.

These were usually a pain to set-up and break down.

The card tables with crappy cardboard/masonite tops would break down with the moisture.

They were at a set height, usually just a bit to low, even for me, and I would end up with a crook back.

Plus the plastic/melamine top would hold water/solution and defeat the purpose.

For the last couple of years, I have been using an ironing board and found it great.

It has a mesh top so no water etc; pools on it.

I can adjust it to my height, low to the ground, or higher if I'm wearing my high heels that day. happy.gif

Plus I'm able to put a couple of different spotters on the rails where the iron would normaly go.

Now if you want to laugh at the idea, I don't care.

But for those that clean upholstery, this may help you.

Ooroo,

Shortestwun.

I've seen the light, and changed my wicked ways. wink.gif

The vision of your short round self standing at an ironing board in high-heels is a picture I'd rather not have in my head. Thanks a lot Shorty sad.gif

Hey as long as there is not a maid outfit attached to the picture I am OK with it, I mean I can understand wanting a height adjustment

Great idea Shorty I've tried all those things but never thought about an ironing board. Will give it a try.

Being from Texas with my cowboy hat and cowboy boots I am not sure that looking like a cowboy is a bad thing. Besides that, great idea with the ironing board.

My friends (customers/clients) know, that if they have any cleaning related problem, I can iron them out for them. wink.gif


The way you're going, you may well get ironed out also. happy.gifhappy.gif
