So you're putting antibacterials in your prespray, big deal, we done that on every job for years.

i was told you couldn't mix antibacs and detergant type presprays. well you could but it doesnt have the desired effect or something like that.
anyhoo back to the question
my new idea is to charge £900 a suite.
1 down, hopefully more to come.

Don't want to be picky but you need to spell check that website, it looks very amateurish.
As for anti-bacterials is it really necessary ? you can not remove them all and the ones you have will be back almost immediately. If the sofa is left damp for an extending period it can become a breeding ground for bacteria so really do not see the benefits.

And if you you are using water in excess of 157 degrees f, it kills bacteria as a matter of course. ;)

Sofa season???
If anything it's school cleaning season or teachers cleaning season.
How can we tie our cleaning into the fact that it's the start of the school summer holidays. The kids are at home, parents have childminding issues.
It's summer... faster drying,
Really it can be the season for anything we want......if it prompts us to start thinking and take action :)

AAARrrgggh Sofas I hate them :-X I push for more industrial and commercial jobs this time of the year, bathroom deep cleaning, regrouting and resealing is really picking up and every time i do one guess what ? a lovely new bathroom but dirty carpets oh dear! Easy sell up. :) Me thinks I will pass on upholstery cleaning to those with the patience!!! Reg
