Honestly a portable is almost better than a truckmount for this, just make sure the portable is outside so the exhaust doesn’t fumigate the house.

This is the best product for this situation guys, it dries in no time! I would vacuum, spray lightly, clean rag over upholstery tool, vacuum again. BOOM!

There was a time you did not know either. You were not born with the knowledge. At least they are asking to learn and not taking a chance of destroying someone's furniture. We are all here to learn or teach. Let's try to help each other out not bring each other down.

I'm kinda old school and I sold my solvent cleaning stuff years ago... I dry foam shampoo any dry clean only type fabric without problems and it's better health wise for everyone involved.

You are missing out on good and easy money. It’s easy to do $300+ per hour on drapery cleaning.
