A dryer will make you money.  I charge extra to use them on upholstery and carpets (if more than two rooms) and customers do pay for it.  Even using one will get the 3 seater almost dry by the time I leave.  I cleaned a lounge and HSL last week.  Put a dryer in the lounge and it was dry to the touch by the time I'd cleaned the HSL.

I only hear excuses for not having one and Broughton sell them for £150, although I prefer the saharas.

Re towel I was not referring to drying but too ensure it clean “I cleaned a suite today and had to re-clean the arms because they looked clean when they were damp but as they dried the dirt became apparent.”

Three blowers working even on the lowest setting say within 1mt of a non-movable object and the lamp is still standing. ???

The fabric may be dry when you leave will the foam, bit like a sponge doesn’t like giving back water

I find quantifying the down side to the customer when doing upholstery, and then I only do them in the mornings.

I never feel the need to use more that one blower for a suite, but otherwise endorse everything Mike has said.

I would also endorse the use of a towel - it quickly removes some moisture, the wiping action concentrates the eye for a final inspection, it can set the nap and ( as Len has pointed out) it can reveal areas which require further rinsing.

len are you suggesting these blowers arn't turned on ::)  thats the sort of thing i do, carry them into the house and not use them ;) the lamps not moving just shows what a load of crap the opinion is that blower are dangerous to small objects.

if you look at the side of the TV you'll see the ends of some pictures that I had taken, down because they were wobbling about.

I'm surprised no one has picked me up for drying the cushions on the carpet, just think if the cushion fabric was'nt coulour fast, red lines all down the carpet :o :o

I use 2 driers in a similar fashion to Mikes picture and believe they do earn me money, whilst I do not charge extra for the use of them, it does dry suites quicker, and as such differentiates my service from the local competition.

To clean upholstery absolute paramount.  If I did not have a air mover then there is a important tool missing.
