Ok boys just talked to the wife and she shut that shit down no exceptions!

There are no high end upholstery clients in the av!

I have cleaned two silk chairs for the mayor that should count!

She told me at my age I should teach a class lol!

I would love all the technical expertise and comradery, but really no market to sell this added skill here in the land of microfiber.

Think about this Sam ( keep in mind, I'm not making a cent off this class and paying for my guys to go)..

If you owned a 5, 10 or 50k Davenport would you be calling a company that advertises $99 any sofa?

Your marketing message and referral sources will need tweaking if you want them to find you.


Could be a waste of time or it could lead to you cleaning clean furniture for $60 -$100 a linear.


But you're probably right, sane old rich folks don't retire in Lanfookingcaster

Cats peed on top seat back cushion they treated it them selves no success.

I took some saiger cide in a pump up and let it flow over the piss areas. I didn't have my syringe so I saturated the top cushions presprayed the rest with upholstery prespray and rinsed with last step.

Have it the good ol sniff test, lime is all I could smell.

$200 with a $20 tip in an hour and and half.

Call me when you have a chance. I think with the on line prestudy information, we might be able to help him.

To address the newb factor.. I work with @Mikey P. on several upholstery jobs.. As for interpreters, it is usually my responsibility to request one.

The on line prestudy information that he will receive, as well as any hands on guidance you might want to offer, should prepare Derrick for the class. There is no memorization of vocabulary involved in the class, and no exploration of areas of fibers, design, or chemistry that isn't relevant or practical to upholstery cleaning.

Talk it over with Derrick. This class might be full now already, so perhaps he could wait until my next west coast class if this one doesn't make sense for him right now.

Just know I'll do all that I can for him Mike.

@Jim Pemberton thank you for your consideration. If you can provide the link for online prestudy, so I can look it over. I will be advertising my upholstery services since @Mikey P. said before that most furnitures can be done blindfold as they are mostly synthetic. So Ill wing it as I go.. Any concerns that I might have about cleaning upholstery, i will bug mike or mark or anyone that has time to explain..thank god for digital age to save my deaf ass..He also mentioned I would owe it to myself to attend to your class if I want deal with fine furniture...

The prestudy is not available until December for pre registered students.

Subscribe to "The Cleantip" by going to www.pembertons.com and follow the prompts. The articles will serve as a good "pre-prestudy" to help you prepare
