manual for carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and spot removal training.

[Richard vd Mark]

Hi all,

I am living in the Netherlands (Europe) I am cleaning a few years carpet.

Can anyone help me with a manual for carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and spot removal training.

We don't have any training possibilities in the Netherlands.

I hope you can help me.

Many thanks

what kind of customers are you targeting? What methods or machines do you want to use?

ISSA-Interclean should have many resources in several European languages.

Don’t be insulted! I have a friend, who is a college graduate, that didn’t understand why the Canadian National anthem was being sung at Braves baseball game in Atlanta when we were playing Montreal.

35 years ago, there weren't many casinos here except charity casinos.

I was gunna say that after you read the above suggested manuals, do a ride along but after seeing some carpet cleaning videos on YouTube, that might not be a good idea.

I left several FB groups because of the idiocy, most recently CleanersConnect.

The Complete Guide to Cleaning and Restoration is no longer available in the US for some reason. Excellent resource and peer reviewed. Including section on Upholstery Cleaning from Mr Pemberton. Seems like it is available in Britain. https://www.yeosbroker.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=495589

It was produced by Legend Brands Education. I purchase 2 from Amazon. Gave away another one I was given at a Water Damage Restoration Class. Each section has a different Author. Copyright 2017
600 pages. https://www.legendbrandsrestoration.com/Products/Guide-to-Cleaning-and-Restoration

I have the Upholstery section torn out and put in a separate notebook.

My first Manual was written by the Ward Brothers of California. Rug Doctor inventors. I had 2 of their Commercial Vibra-Vac units. Their book was better than nothing. This guy was on the cover. Maybe he's one of the Ward Brothers...I don't know.
