carpet cleaning hose hook for stairs
« on: December 10, 2012, 07:56:06 pm »
I am very new to carpet cleaning and was doing my first clean the other day. The stairs were hard work and I think this is partly from tring to hold the weight of the hose whilst cleaning. So I had a look online and came accross the prochem hose hook at around £15.

Is it just me or does that seem a lot for a hook and some velcro. Anyway looking for a cheaper option I came accross some weight lifting training straps. Im not sure if they would work or if I am missing something. Whats your thoughts?

These are definitely not the cheapest but still work out a lot better than the prochem ones. Do you think these would work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150948284612?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

washing line rope and a bonnet pad for cushioning against the wood work, works okay for me.

This is what I use to tie hoses to stairs. I used to use cable ties and then just snip them on my way down.

Always good to carry a couple corner gaurds in the van too.

If you want to look professional about it you need one of Joe Bristor's stairclimbers.

I use those stair climbers, I ordered them the same time as a load of other bits from Joe last year.  Delivery was within a week or 2, bit of to-ing and fro-ing getting price for shipping etc but all in all was straightforward enough.

Velcro straps, what a rip off.  ;D

I use old bootlaces and something called a knot. If they are in a position that's going to rub on anything put one of your towels around it.
