Authors Mike West and Carl Williams have taught technical skills to thousands of carpet and upholstery cleaners in California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and Washington. Now, after two years of working with the State of California Board of Fabric Care, On-Site Task Force, they have assembled the first comprehensive manual for on-site dry-cleaning. This manual defines the current laws and regulations, operator and consumer safety, cleaning procedures and includes a glossary of cleaning terminology.
Industry leaders estimate that as much as 95% of the furniture sold each year is not professionally cleaned on a regular basis. With over seven billion dollars worth of fabric covered furniture sold each year to residential buyers alone, upholstery cleaning is one of the largest untapped markets in the cleaning industry. For the self-employed cleaner, this is a highly profitable market that is waiting to be sold, serviced, and maintained. In the past, furniture cleaning was largely a matter of washing down soiled fabric with a soapy sponge. Now with the advent of new fabrics, finishes, and dye systems, cleaning has become a more complex task, requiring special skills, knowledge, equipment, chemicals, and procedures. This book provides step by step how-to procedures and the practical information you need to take advantage of the many profitable opportunities available in the on-site upholstery cleaning industry. 57 pages Binding: Paperback Details
