I use a dry steam machine, a bit costly at £800, but use it for kitchen and batroom cleaning to.

Thoroughly dry vac curtains, light mist with microsplitters ( i use m power to great effect) any will do, attatch terry towel to steamer, start at top and drag down, good results, £40-£80 / pair depending on size. Takes about 20-30 min, so a good add on when selling up.

All subject to a test.

Andrew.

Well said Geoff, do you really expect someone to be arsed to give you a decent response on here with this type of ridiculous question, look on the Tesco website i have heard they are after part time shelf stackers.

Ross,
reading your post again .
i cannot detect where you are asking for advise alone :-\   your question appears to give that "cant be bothered" attitude ,Dont you agree? a bit like some body asking .

I have a carpet to clean, but I have to get out of bed, will it clean itself?  ;)

It does appear that my reply may have niggled you, well sorry if it has but  in my opinion  is the sort of reply it deserved, as the post itself did niggle me!!

Ross
if you have cleared £40000 already this year then you must be taking in excess of £100,000 p.a. If this is the case and you cant be arsed setting your machine up then why not employ somebody who can or leave the work to somebody who wants it.

I think Ross is looking for easy money but what about the dusting down ie vacuuming?

Ian, as i said i also use it for cleaning industrial kithens and wetrooms,
prob a lot cheaper ones on market.

Shaun, i also use cfr hand tool on some, depending on fabric,
also if you double up the thickness of terry towels it cosiderably reduces the heat,
never had any problems so far.
