I have had a new spot cleaning machine from Ashbys's for a few weeks now. It is different from any other I know because it has an internal steamer. It produces temperatures up in the 200+ degrees area if you want it. It has been fantastic for stain removal visits because it has improved the end results and spped of visits enormously. I have also used it for small upholstery cleaning jobs where access is difficult for the truck or portable.eg 6 x dining chairs or a couple of armchairs. It cleans as well as any other machine though you wouldn't want to do lots of furniture as the capacity is understandably quite small. THe pump (60 psi), vac (1 x 2 stage), heater and power are all independantly switched. There is also a flow control numpty on the pump.
Another good idea from Derek!
Will bring it to Watford on 31st if anyone wants to see it.
