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.
Finally, there is a comprehensive 24/7 support facility for all carpet cleaners to use, whether new technicians or seasoned professionals – www.cleantalk.co.uk or our Facebook group.

Nick and Jacob answered all my questions in depth and left me ready to start my journey with no doubt in my mind. They're always willing to help and guide after the training and the forum community is full of kind and experienced cleaners.
I never met anyone on Lauren's and Mark's level of customer service and quick reaction.
2 things of many I took away were.
1 - There are many different ways to clean carpet so if you work out which system to use when doing your survey this will save time and make you money, I have already put this into practice and jobs that were taking me 3 hours are now taking 1.25 hours. I know longer have only HWE as my way of cleaning carpets.
2 - I understand a little more about what materials are available to use. This has stopped me purchasing from multiple suppliers as WOC have everything I need for the jobs I carry out. This has made my life a lot easier.
I will definitely be attending the upholstery and stain courses to add more to my knowledge.
