I would
REALLY like to be able clean suites
quicker.

At the moment they take me anything from 2.5hrs to 3.5hrs.
I haven’t seen much difference in time when using the T/m compared to the porty,
but the T/M is still new to me.
With the porty I can switch it on and off by the power plug inside the house, with the T/m I have to go outside ( change shoes etc).
Perhaps if I give a detailed description of how I would clean the average suite, then you can all point out my faults, say how you would do it better, and generally make me out to be a fool !
If using the porty the first thing I do is fill it with water and put the heater on.Then I move any ornaments etc out of (my) arms way,

and clear a work area in front of the suite.
Then I put a
THICK plastic sheet down on the floor and cover this with some THICK dust sheets.
Next I inspect the suite for damage, fading, stains, wear and tear and point things out to the custy.
I don’t pre vac, never have done in 20 yrs.
I pre spray all of the base cushions first, using an orion 3 litre pump up sprayer, with an 01 tip, and solution nr 2 ( micro splitter) mixed at 10-1.
I scrub the pre spray in with a soft brush.
I rinse the cushions out, with either plain water or craftex low ph fibre care powder in the tank.
I use a
CFR hand tool. fitted with an 02 jet, and the 5 inch head.
In most cases I will then
re-apply pre spray, scrub, and extract for a second time.
I then set the cushions up, on a clean sheet, with the turbo dryer blowing on them.
If the back cushions are loose I would clean them next, or go straight onto the frame of the settee.
On all of the heavily soiled areas I would pre spray, scrub, and extract
TWICE ( at least).
Move the turbo dryer onto the settee frame and then clean the armchairs.
I have tried many different pre sprays over the years, and find that micro splitters work best.
I would also point out that I clean LOADS of suites at £100 each.
I don’t advertise
AT ALL. My work comes from pre custys and recommendations.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO DIFFERENT ?How can I be quicker, but still get good results?Cheers
Chris
