Upholstery & Fabric Technician Class
Overview
Have the horror stories of ruined upholstery prevented
you from taking advantage of this lucrative field? Learn
to avoid the mistakes that others have found only through
trial and error. Experience can be a great teacher, but
a very expensive one. This two-day course will teach
you all the techniques necessary to be a successful upholstery
and fabric cleaner.
Having experience as a carpet cleaner will help on the
easy synthetic fabrics but is of no help on the silks, cottons,
linens, leathers and other exotic fabrics you will encounter.
You will learn how to test and inspect each fabric to determine
your safest method of cleaning. Certain fabrics such as
chintz or moiré require special attention. The pH
scale you may have learned in a carpet course will be reviewed
heavily and will be the basis for much of your cleaning.
Understanding the role of an "acid rinse" will
keep you out of trouble. You will learn a detailed inspection
process that will keep you from making the big three mistakes:
bleeding, browning and shrinkage.
One of the largest and missed opportunities in cleaning
is office partition cleaning. You will learn how easy it
is to clean these partitions and how to sell this type of
cleaning. If you were to compare the value of carpet
versus fabric in the average home, fabric would win. Many
companies turn down fabric cleaning due to fear. This fear
is due to a lack of knowledge and training. Become a fabric
specialist and reap the rewards!
