Rookie mistakes...

[Mikey P]

No, I never thought it was leather.

Thank gawd, I was going to send you back to temf for more schooling

 

[Mikey P]

Yes, it’s currently in my sunroom

Good, fix it.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Good, fix it.

Acid rinse with wire brush?

 

[Mikey P]

Let's ask @Jim Pemberton

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Acid rinse with wire brush?

Sort of...

Acid rinse, and use a soft brass velvet brush. Fabric softener if needed, and steam helps too.

You should have told him it was leather so just turn the material inside out....

 

[FB7777]

I’ll humbly admit I WAS a hillbilly moron back in ‘05 when I damaged this couch. I shouldn’t have been alone without a professional when I was thinking I had a real business.

You still are


How the fook don’t you know the difference between suede and velvet

And you didn’t have to buy it. That could have been corrected

And why would you leave lines like that

JHC it is too damn ez to compete on this biz

 

[hogjowl]

All that wasted verbiage
When one word would have said it all

Fred, you have the tact of a chainsaw...

 

[Mikey P]

@anon can you make an emoji out of that velvet sofa picture.

Name it "Idiot".


Marty may live a few weeks longer not having to stress his stints by typing 5 letters 20 times a day.

You’re right Jim and better for it cuz I’m just as coarse with myself

Perhaps I should be more cuddles and kittens like your dad

 

[Cleanworks]

You're reading it wrong. I never studied the difference between suede and velvet and I never knew that suede was the back of leather. The dumbass was all me this time. Ron is just drinking too much of that canadian beer

Suede, velvet, same thing EH.

Yeah, I needed to buy it. You have no clue how clueless I was back in the '03-05 era of my business. The only person I knew that kinda taught me how to clean said I ruined it. He was a dumbass also. This was before I knew about any of the online forums and education at Jondon and still shopped at dixie stupidway in alabama.

 

[BIG WOOD]

I'd like to know all the stupid things that RAdaR has done in his early years. He's too much of a pansy to admit any fault on here

 

[KevinD]

When I first started in the late 70's every other piece of furniture was cotton velvet.

 

[FB19087]

RAdaR has done in his early years.

He mentions his Bane frequently



*you would never know what that couch was as an emoticon............so

That was the 2nd velvet couch I've ever encountered in the 16years I've been in this business. The second one I just refused to clean. If I was in a different market where more of these ended up being in my customer's living room...I'd be more educated to handle it. I'll order that brush next week and mess with it on my day off

my vision is a little blurry right now or that marty pic needs to be sharper

 

[Lee Stockwell]

We've all had those early goofups.

Fortunately most of my "victims" have died.

 

[FB19087]

That is about as sharp as Marty gets...........

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

What @Jim Pemberton said,
AND FOUR WAY BRUSHING TECHNIQUE.
That thing will look as good as new...(in 1975)....

 

[Lee Stockwell]

When I first started in the late 70's every other piece of furniture was cotton velvet.

Wore out several carding brushes in that era.

 

[hogjowl]

You cleaned with tap water pressure back then too

 

[Cleanworks]

Those are some serious screwups.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

You cleaned with tap water pressure back then too

That still works well for some situations.

 

[FB7777]

That was the SHOCKwell pea shooter dAze

 

[SamIam]

Fred, you have the tact of a chainsaw...

I like chainsaws they’re useful

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Exactly same output and working pressure as the Bane, and better than most portables of 1996. A dependable stepping stone for guys transitioning from portables.

 

[hogjowl]

Sucking up doesn’t work
