Hi Mike,

Was there any sign of delamination, looks like it had a lot of fluid spilt on it.

Cheers

Doug

Joe did the carpet as well, a through lounge just as bad (stains everywhere) it was a wool Berber but I did my usual fantastic job.

Doug no delamination at all. its hard to see on the photo but the front of the cushion was shiny black almost like someone put black shoe polish on it and buffed it.

the bad bit took 2 cleans, I cleaned the suite, did half the carpet while it dried, then cleaned the bad bits again. The suite was completely dry upon me finishing the second half of the carpet ( I used 4 air movers)

Westy , the full list is on the 1st page of CCDO forum

The centre is going to be broken into 2 sections, dont want to go in to too much detail at the min for very good reasons but yes its looking like its going to be biz and family event but the CCs ,cleaning companies, showers etc etc etc etc will only be aloud into the the arenas for the demos and the shows .
there will be some security on and a private car parks at the rear for the guys coming with TMs and the other stuff  ;)

yes the beer is 1st class and the bar is open all day ! and the catering should be 1st class
there is a large pool if you want a dip/bath  ;)

this will be slightly different event to last year with a few nice twists just for the families and locals, O and Westy please dont pull moonys at the TV cameras 

you could be on the beeb showing your worst side  ;D

Derek these microfibers are usually what people are referring too when people say 'faux suede' or just suede. go into any cheap furniture shop and you'll see them.

Gordon, I take photos on 30% of jobs I do (with the full permission of the customer) anything I see which is out of the ordinary gets a photo taken. any stain which requires special attention usually get a photo.
