I heard a while back about just how little upholstery ever gets cleaned, anyone remember the actual number?
it was real low, that's for sure.

I clean for only two real estate agents.
Over the last 3-4 years, I have talked them into not only getting their carpets cleaned, but also any mattresses, lounge and dining furniture.
They also stipulate on the rental agreement that upholstery covers are not to be washed, and any shrinkage due to washing will result in the tenant being charged for new covers.
They both pay top dollar for my services.
With my regular/repeat customers, most have their upholstery cleaned at least every second time the carpet is done, some have it done each time.Of my regulars, a lot also have their mattresses cleaned yearly.
Talk to your customers, tell them what you do and how much healthier it is to have their furniture cleaned on a regular basis, as well as keeping the furniture looking cleaner.
Educate your customers.
Upholstery cleaning has always been a major part of my business.
And the Oscar Ash is nice also. :wink:
Ooroo,

How long would you sit on a cotton towel before you washed it? I clean a lot of furniture.

Sorry Mike, I don't have any reliable information on the subject.
The percentage is surely much less than carpet.

I take it you don't go to the movies much? Or you bring your own towel?

you think it could be our own fault.
Most companies are ******** Carpet Care, or ******** Floor Care or ********* Carpet Cleaning
There is a LOT of focus on our part on the flooring, even T&G

I always wondered why I would gag about 2 pm in the summer with fermented waste water from upholstery, sure has a unique odor.

That's what I tell my customers, seems to work. You have to put it a way that makes them want to clean it. How long would you leave a towel on your sofa before you cleaned it? My market isn't usually about money but rather just a good reason to spend it.

It's good that you give them a good reason to spend it. I don't have a sofa but I get your point. I do get grossed out when going to the movies. Just don't lay your head back and it's all good.
