I make on average about 4000 a week on upholstery alone!
keep in mind i also have 10 techs running but upholstery is big
big money with big big profits...

I use the avenge fabric pre spray....its an great neutral cleaner
and works well with most upholstery....
I use matix all fiber rinse to remove residue..]]> Thu, 12 Jan 2006 01:19:34 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=326&PID=61080&title=upholstery#61080 <![CDATA[Upholstery : If your great like me ALOT...........especially...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=326&PID=37758&title=upholstery#37758 Author: John L

I am curious as to how profitable apolstry can be.

Lots of good info....

I agree with the internal spray on the upholstery tool. it works very well
and doesn't make the job look so . sloppy. Kleenrite also has a fairly good
tool but I like the internal spray style better.

Even though I don't agree with all that is taught at some of the seminars, I
still think attending a seminar on upholstery can help some. If you pick
up only a few tips it is usually worth the money and it gives you a chance
sometimes to pick the brains of some more experienced cleaners.

Another thing to wach out for is ink on the insides of the cushion probably on the foam.   this ink can blead through when extracting.    by simply opening up the cushion and doing a quick check before you start.   If you see a stamp or other writing on the cushion place a plastic barrier between the foam and fabric.      always clean furiture on a drop cloth to.]]> Sat, 04 Dec 2004 23:50:01 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=326&PID=11561&title=upholstery#11561
