Title: Dri Master Upholstery Tool
Post by: The Carpet Cleaning Pro on November 08, 2012, 08:42:27 am
Hi Everyone. I would like to try the Dri master upholstery tool out. I have a pub to sort and there is quite allot of upholstery. I thought this would be a goog oppertunity to try the tool out. Does any one have a one they would be willing to let me borrow to see if I like it and see if it speeds up upholstery cleaning abit?

The Sapphire Scientific is much better. Are you planning on using it on a porty or a TM?

TM. I currently use the Kleenrite upholstery tool but just seem to think there is a much better and quicker alternative. I know this kind of hand tool may use more water but not a problem as have a good size fresh water tank and can connect to a direct water feed if required.

The difference between a dm and a sapphire is that the sapphire can be used in continuous flow, like a dm is, or in trigger mode which saves all the extra water the dm uses. Plus the SS is a lot lighter and less cumbersome to use.

I sold my sapphire, i found it didn't rinse enough, ok on light to moderate suites, but anything more i found my drimaster rinses quicker and better,

Shame you weren't closer to me, i'd happily lend you mine

That because you're not breaking the soil down enough before extracting. Go back to your ironing board you old woman ;D

You can turn the DM on and off too.

You can but it is a pain in the arse to keep doing it, much better with a simple trigger.

Try the Drimaster hand tool free for 1 week. If you decide it's not the hand tool for you, just return in the same condition you received it in and we will cancel your order.

For which you have to lift the tool off the fabric, turn it, turn  thingy, dry the fabric then turn it back on again, a straight trigger is much better and also lets you use it on a porty.

Do the Dri Master and Saphire tools leave the fabric much drier than a bog standard upholstery tool?

Im thinking of investing in a new tool next year.I find Im leaving upholstery a bit too wet for my liking,especially fabric that isnt totally synthetic.

Billy,
An SS tool doesn't rinse does it not?
I think you'll find it does, even in extreme situations like this.
You should have gone to Specsavers before you sold the best tool you've ever had in your hand, small blower ;D

How can it be in the same condition I recieved it in when I am going to be using it. "just return in the same condition" gives them an open licence to say "sorry you now have to pay for it".

Simon that upholstery cleans a doddle with any tool.

ime the drimaster was not much use on domestic where beading and akward edges need to be cleaned. But fine on flatter Uph. I suspect the SS to be simular problem?

I settled on the CFR but yet to try the SS

Your joking, this stuff was on a ferry and had never been cleaned before and was well and truly embedded into the fabric.

what psi do you use it at Simon... generally? I mostly clean upholstery at about 100-150 sometimes 200
Title: Re: Dri Master Upholstery Tool
Post by: Simon Gerrard on November 08, 2012, 10:14:41 pm
We use multiple tools at the same time of the same TM, so the pressure is normally in the four hundreds but is trimmed manually at each tool.

I have a twin wand machine but if any one wand is off the floor the other looses suction. How do you make this work when using upholstery cleaning tools? If one is off the nap surly the other one looses suction?

What with a Hydramaster Titan ?, you could leave the waste tap open and 4 handtools off the nap & you would hardly notice it !.

There's a lot of very large pen!ses being swung over peoples' shoulders isn't there ;)

I carry the 5" CFR, Sapphire and DM2 on the van and I use them all, in different situations, because they all have their strengths and weaknesses.  I actually used all 3 of them on one job last week!

Shame I'm not close to you Mick I wouldn't have a problem lending you any/all of them for a try.
