Sectionals are trending to be on most jobs lately. Upholstery in general, but Im getting plenty of multiple sectionals on single jobs.
Bring it on.

Gotta have room for the doggies to jump on on the furniture.

A lady I know has a Great Dane. The dog has couch that is all his. Her small ankle biters (breed unknown....Just look like big rats to me) get the loveseat.

She sits on a recliner...company gets to sit on dining room chairs

The social pecking order is well understood there.

I have been in 2 separate homes where the Great Dane sat on a recliner. Both cases, all 4 paws on the ground and they were just sitting there. The first one I saw as I walked by the room and I thought it was a person sitting there!

I really need to buy a Sapphire upholstery tool. I have the Rotovac Shear Dry and from day one, the spray is very irregular. About 3 holes where it sprays very heavily and the rest is normal. Over wets all the time and hard to get used to the rear facing spray bar. I wish I had a local supplier where I could just go and pick one up. Who has the best price on the Sapphire if I want to order one?

Raser Hayes · May 5, 2023

Looking online, it looks like CleanPro is the least expensive for both truckmount and portable.

Yeah he drop ships from a local distributor.

But I doubt with shipping to Canada it would be a great deal unless you were to drop ship it to him and drive across the boarder

was cheaper by 2 or 3 hundred (I can't remember now?) getting shipped from US than buying local in N.Z.

Also the differences in the SS hand tool for portable and TM is the needle valve.. Porty don't have the adjustable valve..

Rob Grady · May 6, 2023

I repositioned the needle valve to my lead HP hose. Now I have full adjustability on all my attachments.

My PMF detailer got a workout. This week, sectionals will not scare me after this.

Home @4:20 am.

Raser Hayes · May 7, 2023

Yeah, agree. But not the norm. And when my number one guy was crtitising his own work, I felt blessed. And thanks for the compliment too.

Is that a ferry of some type?

Actually found one of my local suppliers who will bring it in for the same price as ordering it myself. Be about a week.

Nice when a local supplier will work with you, ss used to have only 1 supplier for the country.. was cheaper to import from the states than support local

Just have to ask sometimes.

First job, sectional. Was 30 minutes into cleaning the 2 pieces with all the cushions off. I flipped the one, did my vac and cleaned. Next flipped the other piece. Vacuumed pretty hard, a lot of hair.

All the sudden..... it looked like someone turned on the air mover because the bottom of the couch started moving hard, then Yep, a cat came darting out and gone. Scared the sh@t out of me.

The cat popped right out where my uph tool is. (above)
