Anyone using a so-called Dry Steam with vacuum machine to clean upholstery and curtains? (I recognise obviously be somewhat limited in as much as inappropriate for some covers/materials)
I am looking at the DR75C Steamer & Vacuum (
http://www.rgk.co.uk/acatalog/DR75C.pdf)
or possibly the Osprey Revolution with vac
Anyone used them or have any other suggestions?
I am missing out/turning down large Curtain jobs because I dont have an effective system - I gave a dry cleaning job to my friendly local DC shop the other day - I unhung and rehung the complete house - total bill to customer for DC £478 on which I made 30% from the DC shop and 10% from the client - we also did the carpets

Turns out if you buy the right machine you can also right off 100% of capital cost in first year:
The Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme offers a 100 per cent first-year allowance for investments in certain water efficient plant and machinery. It means you can write off - ie deduct - 100 per cent of the cost of qualifying plant and machinery against your taxable profits in the year of purchase.
Any relevant experience or suggestions welcome!
