Hello everyone
I have just forked out cuple of grand to start my own part time carpet cleaning business. it will mainly be domestic carpets. But i will get the odd upholstery to do.
So i just wanted your advice whether i can use the Prochem "Glidemaster hand tool" for stairst and upholstery (looking for a two in one sort of tool you see ;D)
It has a 4 inch head with 0.4gpm spray nozzle.
All advice will be appreaciated. :)

Hullo..
You may wish to look at the posts in reply to 'Advice on hand tools please' further down this page.
It might answer your query.
If it doesn't just pretend I never replied ;D

Emin, My personal view is that you would not want to use the same tool for carpets and upholstery. :o
I use Prochem tools and have stair tool and S/S upholstery tool. You do NOT want to overwet upholstery so by using uph tool, you only spray a mist. (You can go over areas more than once without soaking) ;)
I also feel that stair tools can get scratched/gouged on grippers so not good to use on upholstery in case of tears etc. ;D
Welcome to the world of Carpet Cleaning and the forums :)
Lets be careful out there people.

My feeling too Chris, but been a thick Yorkshireman couldn't put it into words :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ ::) ::) ::)

From one thick Yorkshireman to another, if you want an affordable upholstery tool try buying one second hand on this forum.
