Title: Dry cleaning
Post by: mjm on February 03, 2020, 09:59:14 pm

I got very helpfull advice about  dry clean only  sofas      but my question is  do anyone use the altech dry cleaning machines for sofas and curtains   

 There£1600      delivered    and a free course  I know all of you have been on here for years  but failed badly on carpet cleaning 8 years ago and struggle with a wrong machine    anyway I have invested this time   is worth getting the Sahara or is a mess about masking up leaving windows open basically is a ball ache  using one of these machines

Haven't used one  , but id guess people these days are too sensitive to smells and chemicals to welcome in a guy in a gasmask spraying Tetrachloroethylene around the sitting room .

If you go on a iicrc course or alltec do a fine fabric cleaning course you’ll find out that you may not need half the equipment you plan on buying

yeah , well it wont have the physical weight of a full size scrubber ,  but will have the advantage of being easy to haul around , i think you could get good use out it , but a little slower and lighter scrubbing  on a big area than a full size .
