It's funny ...my brothers taking the Sears IICRC course...they are doing a more hands on approach...He bet them yesterday that he could clean a white sofa prespraying with his hydro force...without it going brown.  He took the bet...lol

HE WON...lol the couch already had browning on it...it's all gone...they said it was the best they have ever seen the couch cleaned...but they would advise it for everyone......bahahahahahahaha

they never knew you could put Haitian in the hydro force.....lolololol bahaaahahahaha

Listening to all you people here......I sent him to take the class...now he's teaching it...lololololol

unconventional but works

Mr. Steamer Carpet Cleaner

So you are basically saying that everyone at Sears is clueless and that you know more than Ralph, is that right?

Wondering why you wouldn't use a neutral prespray that breaks and digests the oils a bit better?

why would you want to spray a couch with the hydroforce??

do you wipe the prespray off the walls,windows,and T.V. set afterwards??

what was the sofa made of??

if it was synthetic

DUUHH!!

White Haitian cotton couch................if you know what you are doing...you can effectively use your hydroforce...

He used Hatian cotton cleaner....

It looked great today...I guess it's all in the skill level they told him it would for sure brown out..

MR. STEAMER .....YOU HAVE A BROTHER......THERE'S MORE OF YOU OUT THERE.......I'M BUYING SHARES IN TIDE

Andy is right on the money.

We use low moisture methods as often as possible with cotton. Haitian cotton is very rare in this day and age, why do you think its raw cotton.

The other fact you have conveniently missed here Stanley is that it is Sears and they have big time issues to deal with that most of us don't have to worry about.

They don't want their cleaners touching furniture EXCEPT for  those that are very simple to clean and worry free.

Companies like Sears and The Bay have to deal with clients who are looking to get free new furniture based on a mistake from a cleaner.

Sears outlets are not independent franchises, they are licsensees. If someone cries hard enough to Sears, they will replace a couch that is slightly messed up. A raw cotton couch can easily brownout from cleaning from things beyond the cleaner's control, like the customer using  too much spotter from a bottle and it browns out when in contact with water. Happens alot with with rayon blends too.

Sears' policy is that an average customer can spend up to 70K at their stores in their lifetimes, so they are guaranteed satisfaction NO MATTER WHAT.

 Now if that was your company policy, would you be teaching your employees how to clean tricky furniture?

Why do you think they went belly up.....lol

Any they are on their way there again.......

I'll hydro force a good natural cotton...why??? because the Haitian gets to soak into the the foam or padding...and the fabric gets evenly wet...you get a better clean...way better that just mist and Vac

Now we know where nightrider gets all his energy from.

Man this stuff could whiten the remaining complexion of Michael Jackson.

Ted I'm surprised at you, I thought you would have went with Hide. Doug will be so disappointed.
