We have just been asked by a fairly big hotel (48 rooms) whos carpets we clean, if we can clean their curtains in situ on an annual basis.
We currently only have Extracta Exel HWE machines so I have started looking into buying a dry clean machine, something like Extracta Spirit 2, Alltec Sahara or Ashby Ninja, but the more I look into it the more hassle it seems to be. Do many of you guys clean curtains in situ and if so how long does it take, what machine do you use and what problems do you encounter?
It would obviously be less hassle for the hotel to have them cleaned in situ, but I think the cost would put them off compared to taking them down and to the local dry cleaners, I would estimate that my costs are going to be in the region of £100 per pair of full length curtains, the dry cleaners are quoting between £40 - £70.
Any help would be appreciated.
