Hi

I know I'm goin to ge a lot of different answers to this one but who is the best people to train on with upholstery and carpet cleaning, I did a procurement one a few years ago now, but I need to send others on one now and I could do with a refresher as I don't do it that often to keep up with the new ways and stuff

Thanx Jonny

i have done the ncca course and the cleansmart course both in my opinion are excellent and the course content is almost identical so the only difference comes down to money really with the cleansmart one being cheapest.

Prochem

Some good courses mentiond in the above posts and heard good reviews from them..

[dan paton]

hi simon . im thinking of booking the prochem one myself . what is it that makes it better than the other courses. i've already got my equipment . only thing thats putting me off is are they going to spend half the time trying to sell me a machine .. cheers . dan

[Simon Gerrard]

Dan,
From my experience with Prochem courses, the focus is entirely on training and given their long experience I doubt one of their courses can be bettered. Also a good idea because Prochem chemicals are for the most part the best on the market.

Oooooh  can of worms alert!!!!

You're just using that as a cover story Simon, we all know you're a Solutions fan boy now

[Simon Gerrard]

I do use Solution stuff but have a wide range of Prochem chemicals too,Powerburst is still the daddy in the prespray department. But you're right, can of worms, tin hat time, me thinks.

Simon open a can of worms??? i can't believe that for one second!!!!!!

I did the Cleansmart course last Thursday 16 Feb and it was absolutely first class.

There were four sessions roughly as follows:

1 - About chemicals, pH and techniques

2 - Recognising carpets construction and fibres and safe methods of cleaning each one.

3 - Several bits and pieces

4 - Practical hands-on experience.

There was plenty of time for questions AND Derek kept a good eye on the time as well. So there were no dead spots and there wasn't a rush to get 25 minutes of content into the last five minutes. The entire very comprehensive manual was covered in sufficient depth.

If you want sales advice, you'll get it. If you don't, you'll be left alone to just enjoy the course.

I've been on dozens of courses in my days, and I'll say without fear or favour that this was probably one of the very best. Derek isn't a "polished" trainer, but he is absolutely excellent - he's a natural. His huge experience and knowledge are evident all the time. He welcomes questions and doesn't mind repeating explanations if you don't quite get it first time. And he comes across as being a really decent, solid bloke.

The end result is that I'm now confident that I can recognise the type of carpet that I'm dealing with both in terms of the fibre and construction. And I'll know what chemicals and cleaning machines to use and how to use them effectively and safely.

I'll give it my 100% recommendation.

I'm going to go back and do the upholstery course in a few weeks time.
