Cleaning cubicle partitions

[Papa John]

How much should I charge?
If I remember correctly they're not made very well and can't take too much moisture because it seems like it's just fabric covering cardboard.
Any input would be greatly appreciated

Lay 'em on the floor and wand 'Em....

Fi buck a side......a helper and you can form an assembly line
I had a client that would had a warehouse and would do fi or six hunnert a shot
Ya turn the pressure way down

Most of the ones I've cleaned are a herculon fabric. Doesn't mean they all are. I use a large upholstery tool around 250 psi. If nobody's looking, use Bob's suggestion.

Spray them with scampoo and use a makita and a bonnet

We were usually $10.00-$15.00 a panel with a $200.00 minimum. Most we corporate where we might spend a day or two cleaning them.

Cleaning is fast but a dry tool is a must. Careful with an solvents or high ph chems.

 

[Papa John]

Ill inspect them first.
I hope i can clean them with Bob's way-- but if they are delicate- ill go with Jimmy's way.

I charged $10 each

Don't clean them with a wand. Too much psi, too much vacuum. It also looks less than professional. There are many types of construction, as well as many different fabrics. Some of these are very pricey, Herman Miller, Steelcase among others.
They need to be cleaned with care and charged accordingly.

Im usually about $25 each.

you won't be able to take them apart you'll be working around a desk with a computer and stacks of paper and family photos ...it will be a total pain in the ass to not get that stuff wet.. so figure you'll get about 6 to 8 done an hour if you're lucky and do the math accordingly

Last one I did was with my prochem stair tool. It did a good job around 200psi.

It's not worth the risk. You don't want to buy one. Or worse have to recover a whole set because they can't get the fabric.

Remember you can rough up carpet and correct it. Upholstery is unforgiving. Wall partitions aren't even upholstery. They need special care. Treat it like carpet and you'll eventually get stung.

Plus phone cables, computer cables, blah, blah. I can’t believe it, but Jimmy’s way is the best. But I would use palm buffer instead.

 

[Mikey P]

If shampoo and towle works, by all means go that route.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I can’t believe we’re agreeing with Jimmy, but furthermore I can’t believe Jimmy’s crossed over! I know, I know, he hates relabeling, and high cost of product.

Jimmy's been a cross dresser for years.

I did that job for 4 hours straight. I didn't treat it like carpet because I set my pressure at 200, not 500 and pulled the trigger on pullbacks only.

Well, there’s your next invention: an upholstery tool with interchangeable heads. Maybe 8” for cubicles.
