if im not sure, no tag, i start out cold, and increase heat...I never do a burn test...I did that once and the customer almost kicked me out..

 

never had anything bleed...I just dry like a mofo, and dont over wet

 

I take my time, but I also charge 100 bucks for a couch,  60 for a love seat, and 45 for a chair...no need to rush

 

is that what you mean john?

 

Upholestery cleaning is where its at man, take the class...you wont regret it...

 

But if you want to know how to clean it without taking a class

 

Get a good netral upholestery prespray...and a drimaster(ebay 300 bucks)

 

Man made fiber, use high heat, and prespray, I use alittle carpet prespary for the harder areas.  just make sure you know whats in the backing

 

Natural(be careful here) mild to cold water, test test test, dry dry dry

 

you wont be able to hurt 98 % of all upholestery...but always test fiber

Just booked a commercial upholstery job to day 200 Chairs and a mile of fabric panels to be cleaned. As Lee said upholstery can be big part of your business. There are companies out there that only clean upholstery and do very well at it.

If you do a good job on the carpets at least half will let you clean the furniture if you ask.

The first thing to ask to clean is the old man's chair where he watches television.
