I use polythene if there is any chance of dye transfer.
Used a table for a while but found this was hurting my back more. Do it sitting down and bending over now and have no problems.

Sorry Chris still no ramps, they have promised me some this week. It is only a sideline for them and they have been really busy with there core work.

I have seen me do small tapestry cottage suites in about an hour but others take up to 3.5 hours (and a lot of sweat!!)  5 hours is excessive, even if you are charging £150 for the pleasure, its not a good return

You dont need a plastic sheet and a cloth sheet on top of it esp with a CFR tool.  Just use the cloth sheet.  Try a handheld sprayer for your prespray.  Most suites only need 1.5l of pre-spray.

Change your prespray.  The citrus based are good such as chemspec HDuty but smells a bit.  Most areas will only need 1-2 applications tops with only the contact areas needing agitation.  Try a detergent rinse for upholstery in the tank.

Clean the cushions first and blowdry.  Then the 3 seater following by the two chairs, moving the fan as you go.

With the TM I usually average 2 hours and I think it is quicker than the portable.

PS. Take the tip off the CFR tool and spray into the vac hose until the solution is hot and then start to clean otherwise the solution never gets really hot and hot does make a difference where its possible to use heat even on draylon.

i agree with john kelly about the plastic sheet which is what i use now can never be too careful especially when the carpets are not being done at the same time. the customer s seem to like the fact that you are watching out for their stuff as well
