How effective is this on real dirty curtains Steve?


Its the only method i've used in 12 years, and to be honest you dont come across too many really dirty curtains and most off the time the bad stuff is removed with a good vacuum, i just dont see the point in splashing out on a machine for this!

My customers are always happy and most dont want to bother with taking them down, and i certainly dont,

still worthwhile doing if you are there to do the carpets etc

regards
steve

Steve would you send me an email like that?

I get asked alot for onsite curtain cleaning but having a dry cleaning shop I have always tried to guide the customer that way but I could offer them 2 services and 2 prices.

But what would you do?

If you invest properly carpet cleaning can draw in other incomes, I have had other businesses and they set off well but don't make the money cleaning does when you have built it up. (Wedding car hire started well alot faster than cleaning but no real scope for improving prices)
