Hiya all
Hope ya all well.
First time iv looked in forum for a while.  ::)roll sorry  :-\  :-[
Well the main reason iv called in is i am going to start adding carpet cleaning  etc to our list of services.
We are a well established window/pressure cleaning company now & i am really intrested in upholstery cleaning.
I spent a few years getting help & helping others on this forum in window cleaning issues & now i am asking fora  bit of a hand with a few things to do with this side ov it  :D thats if any u guys fancey helpping me out a bit  ;)

Right guys,,i have been looking for training and would appreciate any help in buying my first cleaning machine..
Do not want to go out and spend a fortune, what i havent got, :-\ on a new machine..so any help in pointing me in right direction will be much appreciated  :)  i will upgrade if all goes well..but, well you know,if it goes pear shaped i havent spent to much on the game..
Any help realy appreciated lads & lasses ;-)

Kindest regards
Justin  :)

Start by going on a course or two NCCA at Leicester and a manufacturers course buy the best machine you can afford but remember customers want there carpets cleaned at a time convenient to them not when it raining as some of the window cleaners seem to think. I've bought some good equipment from window cleaners that have given up the carpets.

I'd stick with the carpet cleaning until you've
become more knowledgeable and comfortable with it,
and know your chemicals before you move onto upholstery.
That's can be the real tricky cleaning, and an expensive
mistake if you get it wrong.
