encap. multil sprayer with upholstery tip, or fine spray tip. and a hand held car poilisher with lots of bonnets for it. (get car polisher thats the size of a palm sander)
spray, use polisher to agitate, let dry, keep moving. could use encapuclean with maxim in it to accomplish both tasks at once.

How many lin feet can you clean in an hour? What is your hourly target?
Is $1.00 enough?
How long will it take to do the whole project? Then per hour? Then how much do you want an hour?
It does look like easy cleaning BUT my arm is sore just looking at it.
Sapphire upholstery tool for better control of cleaning solution & faster drying.

We did very old, wool, hand sewn, horse hair filled, removable pew cushions a few months back. We cleaned using encap solution and a pad on a makita hand buffer. 12 sq. ft. of material on each cushion (both sides). And applied fabric protector. Charged $45 per cushion. I don't know how long they were, but it ended up being $22.50 per side. Hope that helps.

I know churches. I clean a ton of them. As far as pricing goes, every area is different of course, but here in central Dixie I would be charging $1.50 to clean those and wouldn't apply protector. I wouldn't even suggest it, because it's not an environment where protector is needed. (Almost all churches don't have drinks in the sanctuary. If yours does, then of course suggest protector.) If I WAS required to apply protector, then I'd probably charge an extra 75 cents a L.F.
As far as cleaning, hwe all the way. No encap or scampoo cleaning. Treat those churches right, do it correctly and they will be a gold mine of referrals and repeat business. Scam-poo them and it's one and done. I would be using my hole glided stair wands to clean them with. I've done it for years with upholstery tools, Sapphire and PMF, and it sucks. Stair tools with hole glides RULE.

I'd agree with Porkchop with the exception of his choice of tools. fooker is a 90% er.
Close but still has to fook it up with a stair tool.

25o to 350 psi, depending on the frabic.
Of course I wipe down the splash. What kind of idiot doesn't?
Of course I am using an upholstery prespray and rinse. Do YOU use carpet prespray on upholstery?
I am applying my prespray with a multisprayer.
No, I am not speed drying. They don't sit on those things until sunday.

I don't think it matters for @Wing It , it's not that dirty to begin with........ I bet he did other stuff in life that God disliked more than using an improperly named tool on some seats......
I move to have the name changed/hyphenated to Stair/upholstery tool...... Bango!

Looks about the sa,me sizeas I did at a church years ago ......I believe I did it 2-3 times.
I believe it took me 2 days.....big workout...maybe took 9-10 hours
Charged 850$. Now I would charge around 1000$.
Comes out to about 90-100$ hour
I used a prochem glided wand both 14" and 11".
You might also use a prochem stair tool..either way it will be a total workout.
Might get a worker or split it up in 2 days as I think I did it by myself

The very same tool, but without the spray bar.Hey Hogjowl, would that be similar to the Saigerized
He's supposed to be mailing me a spray bar.
If he doesn't, then he's paying for lunch the next time we meet.

The one we sometimes attend has coffee and they let you take it in. And the kids can bring their snacks and drinks. They are very laid back and accommodating that way.
I agree with HWE...we couldn't do it on the ones we did due to the construction of them. Base on the pics posted, we would HWE those.
