ct6 encap training course (is it worth it)
#10
Mark, I love cleaning upholstery.

Most of my work is done with either a Makita Variable Speed Polisher, 9227CX3, or our Cyclo.

We have two of each of these toys for large production work.

The Mak; we generally use bonnets on in preference to pads.

The Cyclo, normally we use brushes, we have a couple of different ones depending on the fabric.



On the real grotty, oil laden pieces, we always rinse/extract using a small porty or spotting machine after we have agitated with the previous equipment.


We are also very conscious of the wear and tear on our bodies, so have "accessories" such as folding tables to clean cushions on, small stools to place under larger pieces to allow us to clean the outside back or front kick panel on an angle instead of working in a bent position.

Skidders, furniture jack, blocks, tabs, mattress protectors to catch possible over-spray, towels, sprayer for fabric protection etc; are also there to make our life easier and more profitable.

We can make more money cleaning furniture than we can cleaning residential carpets, which we don't do much of now, except in high rise condo's.

Furniture fabrics are so much different to carpet and so we charge accordingly.

Cool
