When cleaning a customers upholstery what do you guys use to protect the floor from over spray at the moment I use a plastic tarp would a cloth drop sheet be better as to absorb the over spray.
buy a hydramasterdrimaster upholestry tool.....no over spray with that tool ever!!!!.....been there done that with tarps/moving blankets....spend the 400 bucks and be done with it....it will then be one of the tools on the truck you'll never want to be with out!!!
Furniture moving blankets are what I used most often. You can also get disposable drop cloths with one side plastic but the other side some absorbent material. Use with the plastic side down. These did a better job and were lighter weight than the moving blanket. I just did not buy them all the time since I already had the moving blankets.
I try to just clean the furniture first then clean the carpet. this stratgey doesnt work every time though i love to clean furiture outside on the concrete where i can have plenty of space. just all depends on the situation what kind of help you have and what type of upholstery your doing.
I'm with Richard. I've used everything and the vinyl backed sofa blankets are the best.
I have cleaned 50-60 office chairs on them and it does not wet through.
Machine wash once they get soiled although you need a pretty good size washer to get them real clean.
