Does such thing exist?
A guide with samples to help with identification or anything like?
Cheers

Training helps....I think the NCCA has one or they did when I went on the course.

[COLIN BRIGHT]

I have always got a sample of fabric ID on every course I ever done, thought this was the norm?

[Steven Butler]

It probably is mate, I haven't had training yet but will be, I just wondered if there was any kind of guide/book aswell.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

IICRC used to do one with the course Chemspec do one

Make your own! Can buy sample books on the net / ebay, do the research which will help educate you and it will cost you very little

Whys no one mentioned the most comprehensive guide there is?

IICRC S300 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Upholstery Cleaning

I think you need to buy from the National flood school now.

[Craigp]

I paid £85 for the carpet one! ochh!

here it is, looks like the upholstery one is only 25

That's great, thanks.
Do you know if it is all text or if there are any fabric samples in it?

[Craigp]

No samples in it, I don't think you will need samples, I've never had them in 10 years I been going.

[Steven Butler]

Cheers Craig, does it cover each fabric type and whether its cleanable using HWE? That's all I'm after really mate.

[B Bailey]

I bought mine from flood school when I did the upholstery course, and it has samples.

[Steven Butler]

Fancy selling it? Ha

[COLIN BRIGHT]

The answer is, do the training then you will get all the info you need, in fact it's the first thing you should do, get trained properly before you even attempt a clean

I've got the IICRC Advanced Upholstery and Fabric Cleaning Technical Manual by Jeff Cross......bought from Amazon and don't think it was that expensive.
It's good reading but don't do what I did and get the Kindle version....pictures are crap and it doesn't read well...book form would be better.
