The carpet cleaning course takes place in our purpose built training centre in Cornwall and is designed to give you all the tools you need to succeed for carpet cleaning – from technical expertise, demonstrations and actual hands on practical experience helping you to build the confidence needed to provide the highest quality of service to your customers.

You will also have the opportunity to trial different tools and attachments from the extensive stock of World of Clean’s carpet cleaning wands, tools and accessories range.
Upholstery Cleaning Training
Although upholstery cleaning utilises much of the equipment used for cleaning carpets there are many differences in application and technique.
We’ve developed a training course following over 30 years in the trade that has both theoretical and hands-on practical sessions.
The rinse/extraction method of cleaning upholstery fabrics is the most intense of all of the cleaning systems, it’s also the most labour intensive and time consuming. Our upholstery & carpet cleaning training course will teach you how to clean upholstery fabrics to the highest standard using different cleaning methods and systems in less time and with reduced drying times.
- Pre-testing & pre-inspection.
- Identifying fabrics, constructions & styles.
- Cleaning chemistry with pH explanations & chemical choice.
- How to clean cotton, linen, viscose, velvets & other problem fabrics.
- Hands on training with different cleaning methods like wet extraction, encapsulation cleaning & low moisture cleaning.
Spot & Stain Removal Training
Spots are relatively easy to remove, but stains can be much more challenging and time consuming. Many technicians regard carpet cleaning as an application of physics and chemistry, but stain removal as a black art.
On our 2 day course you will be lead through the process and procedures of testing and identifying a spot or stain, how to treat and safely remove stains like red wine, turmeric, lily pollen, fake tan etc.
- Identification & types of stains.
- Methods of spot & stain removal.
- Application & removal.
- How to use bleaches.
