Hello,
How do you clean upholstery using encapsulation scheme or VLM method? I've read about special equipment (Von Schrader) that some swear by and just as many curse it. I've also read some using small hand held rotary polishers but then they have to make their own pads or bonnets to fit them because they are using a woodworking tool for cleaning upholstery.
Is the best place to go to get equipment for upholstery cleaning is to go to the automotive interior cleaning route? Is this too aggressive for living room upholsteries and finer fabric coverings? I recall seeing a guy using a big 7 or 10 inch car polisher to clean banquet chairs on YouTube. It looked like it did tbe job but I couldn't get the picture out of my mind that the guy had just finished washing and waxing a car in the parking lot prior to making his video. LOL I also thought he was going to burn through the material...but that's where my ignorance probably comes into play...
Should I look at mitts, sponges and hand held pads and dry foam upholstery cleaning chems or products?
Thank you to all who respond to help bring me up to speed.
Have a good day
