Advanced Upholstery Cleaning Training Course

If you are looking to gain professional knowledge and increase your confidence in upholstery cleaning, this course is a must! 

Upholstery cleaning can be a minefield and in fact many carpet cleaners shy away from it yet it is one of the most popular items that a consumer wants to have cleaned. There are so many different fabrics that we could encounter, which makes it difficult to know where to start. 

This one-day course compliments the introduction to upholstery featured in the NCCA Professional Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning course. Learning through our hands on training, we will help you understand what to look for and clean with confidence. 

You will learn how to clean so-called delicate and designer fine fabrics that many upholstery manufacturers produce. You can even bring along a cushion or fabric that has been troubling you for some practical advice. 

There are many benefits to professional training, and this course will provide new opportunities for service add-ons and offerings, with the potential to increase your revenue.
