SPECIAL  NOTE:  
"Never make decisions as to the nature of an upholstery cleaning issue, whether as a request for a price from a customer, or a complaint after cleaning.  You need to make an on site inspection to be sure of the nature of the issue, so that both you and your customer can have a satisfactory outcome"!

Special Note - Upcoming Training


Jim Pemberton's
Fabric Pro Upholstery Specialist Workshop

Two Day "Specialist" Course With
"Hands On" Training

July 18 - 19, 2025
I'll be offering this class in Rochester, NY.

Where Can I Find a Furniture Cleaning Specialist? . . . . and one who can be trusted? . . . Two key questions asked by today's affluent consumers as well as their furniture retailers and interior designers.

In the past decade or so, there are fewer and fewer cleaners willing (or even capable) to clean high value, or sensitive, delicate textiles.

This unique two day course is absolutely not a "Prep" course to prepare you for another longer certification course.

In this class you will learn 'What to do" + "When to do it" as well as  "How to do it  . . .   "Hands-On"!
