Just saying, why burden yourself unnecessarily, when there's an easier way, which is exactly what you are doing with leather, as you say, keeping it simple, :) :) :)

Rob,  do you ever have anything nice or positive to say?  What can be more simple than a few needles, a bit of cotton and a pair of pliers?

The idea is, that those who attended the two days so graciously put on by Paul, can now offer a service that not many other cleaners offer.  This means they are better than they were the day before going and accordingly can charge more.  As knowledge should be paid for, at least I think it should be.

 This sets them up to approach textile companies to do just re-weaving or re-tufting.  Both of which you have rightly suggested is very inexpensive to kit up for and the rewards are far greater than any type of cleaning or any services to do with this industry.

If that isnt simple then I dont know what is.

20 seconds of actual work and anywhere from £25 to maybe £300 or perhaps £400 .   Simple!!!! Not sure how that is a burden.

Best, Dave.

P.S.  No one has mentioned about an I.I.C.R.C. course,, we all went  to Pauls for free for a day out and are better "cleaners" for the journey.

Seeing as no else has asked the question, how do you clean leather quickly?

If you are sworn to secrecy then you may email me confidentially ;)

Ive been busy today, thats why i am late, Not cause Im stll driving around (John, I'll see you) and yes that Shaun nearly made it a very expensive day, but it didnt take more than a few seconds to sus him. Hope you are that sharp at 61, Shaun, and as someone else pointed out it looks loike you will be even grayer than me by then.
Anyway to the main point. Paul you are an absolute top man, top pro and you can buy me a pint anytime you like.
Seriously, a great day, nice to meet new faces and overall a great nice bunch of lads. Learnt a lot, Pauls, time, enthuiasm, energy and generosity for his fellow professionals is to be applauded.
I can not finish withou a special mention for Loraine, Pauls lovely wife (If I were only 25 years younger) thanks very much for putting up with us, the brews, food etc, thank you very much.
See you again sometime, everyone.
Dave.

For larger jobs this type is better.
You can pick them up cheap on ebay, see following link.
Make sure you get one with a plastic cup not metal as its easier to clean.
Also with this type you can alter the spray pattern better and adjust the power of the spray.
