Les,
Yesterday, on another forum in answer to a question about the best curtain cleaning equipment, I wrote:
I have an Ultimate PB3, a water/hot solvent machine, which is probably the best extractor for curtain cleaning.
However, haveing spent AFAIR £2500 on the technical masterpiece, it has remained in the storeroom for the past 5yrs. since:
a] Van-space is at a premium.
b] I just do not like cleaning curtains, so rarely do.
c] I have developed alternative techiques which work well with the HWE machine that lives on the van.
There is money to be made out of curtain cleaning but fibre & dye identification is more critical than on upholstery, which, combined with the effects of high exposure to UV put the risk factor up a few notches. Add to this problems associated with badly constructed swags and tails, pleated pelmet-pieces held together with dress-making pins which fall appart when touched, let alone cleaned and you have the potential for a lot of wasted time and irritation.

PS. I don't like cleaning %&!!$ curtains
