Best place?  To be honest I don’t know as I learnt the hard way with a grumpy old sob. Bog cleaner used on floors ;)  Drew the line on bleach on wool carpets. ::)

Think Amtech / Prochem and Ashby’s also do them

Been on courses before and not learnt much apart from what prducts they sell (carpet, upholstery, stain removal, drives etc)

Think the nu life one is a franchise so is it worth it?

Looked at doing courses a few years ago, they are all done by people who just want to sell there products and machines...and have not done much hard floor cleaning themselves...so im self taught, through years of research and practising on floors i laid in my lock up...there are no stone floors that scare me anymore, i can grind them, diamond polish, hone them etc...also i repair cracks and chips with resin. And i lay them too.
