Nothing better for Upholstery work.

All three attachments were very needed on this project.

I was hired to apply FPA by a designer but only my eyes saw the layer of dust, finger smudges, plant material and other spots

Went up from $60 to $150 a chair

Hey @Desk Jockey, I didn't even apply protection either...

I had to vacuum 3 couches today loaded with sand.. Too bad the ICS board wasn't still around, got paid $1,000 to vacuum them....:clap:

They were on a show room floor for quite some time. Each chair had a few spots that required wet cleaning.
Neither the home owner, the designer or the contractor could see the situation until I pointed it out.

As we all know, most people just don't know what "clean" is, including many fellow " professionals..

This HPP and those three attachments are a MB Must Have.

Do you mean if it looks clean and smells clean it may still not be clean?

Can't you just spray fabreeze and call it good.

My HPP gets used on my own house daily. 2000 plus square feet tile floors vacuumed daily. Furniture once a week. Tough little vacuum. Bought the accessories that allows you to use paper bags and I have used them as well. Prefer the cloth bag but would recommend a second cloth bag for quick changes and to vacuum the last cloth bag after emptying.

I'm a paper bag kind of guy. When I'm done with lunch I just throw the bag away...

When Mike first posted this it made me laugh because my Mom had one when I was @ 15 or so, she was using it to vac up the ashes around our wood stove, some how she sucked up a hot ash and it caused the vacuum bag to melt and smoke....she was vacuuming away and I came into the living room and it was full of smoke, she didn't even know it LOL.
It melted the outside of the vac but the darn thing was still good enough to vacuum out the cars....one of my weekly chores.

I just bought one about a week ago for Missy because she hates using the big shop vac for the cars, really handy, good suck, long cord. I was happy to see the quality was still as good as it was back then when we opened up the box this last week.

You should tell the story of the little vacuum you found in my shed the other day :) I know secretly you wanted to take it home and try and fix it. I could see it in your face. It's okay Tom, you can have it :)

using an upright to vacuum nice upholstery is the equivalent of using a crescent wrench to swap out a Rotovac O ring.
At least it would be an original name brand tool not just any adjustable wrench.

As someone with "hillbilly" blood in them...

You must be talking about the dudes, because Alabama ladies are delightful!:rockon: Pretty much on par with out west(as far as hotties), just not near as many and not near as ditzy/brain dead... Oh, and that wonderful accent.
