Upholstery Tools
« on: July 10, 2006, 08:34:39 pm »
Cleaning Guru's. I need your advice on the best upholstery tool. The tools that I currently use have an open spray jet so I tend to get water everywhere and it doesn't look particularly professional. I'm looking for a tool that has a contained jet so that theres less overspray.

Regards
Jeremy

The Drymaster is also worth a look,bear in mind you will pay around £350 for these hand tools.

both tools mentioned are good and the cfr can be bought from matt flewit at cleansmart and the drimaster from hydromaster.

On a T/M machine I'd go for the Prchem T/M tool every time for general cleaning,  on delicate fabrics then I'd have to say the CFR
Thats only my opinion though I had  the Drymaster but after 20 odd years using a trigger it  felt unusual not to have a trigger to control the spray.

Guys.

Those that have used the Drymaster, can it be used with both my TM and my portables. My portables are the SEMCA K353 and only push out 60psi.

I see that the CFR is rated from 100 - 1000 PSI so probably wont work on the SEMCA K353

Jeremy,

For sufficient rinsing with CFR’s tooling you need a minimum of 200 psi when using the wands and a minimum of 100 psi for the hand tools.

Regards

Steve

i've always used a internal spray detailer,

is a hand tool better for upholstery? i mean the ones with a bigger head and at more of a right angle

I have recently invested in the CFR Handtool, I was initially concerned that it wouldn't perform properly with my 135psi pressure, however it works perfectly.

I bought mine from Matt at Cleansmart, who was good enough to lend me one on trial for a week.

Give him a ring, Customer Service is second to none.

the good thing about the cfr hand tool is that it will rinse  both sides of the material  at the same time. if you get a piece of fabric held tight and rinse with it watch what it does on the other side i think its the only toll that does this . the  drimaster hand tool can bu used at low pressure and is also a good tool.
