Clean & maintain carpets, upholstery & hard floors the expert way: Training dates for diaries

Prochem, the UK's leading commercial provider of training in carpet & upholstery cleaning and the cleaning & maintenance of hard floors, has published details of courses being held throughout 2026 at its Chessington, Surrey, training facility.

Various packages are available. For start-ups, the C2 Two-Day Carpet Course is ideal, covering the basics that all cleaning operatives should know on the first day, while Day Two applies that knowledge to practical experience of machinery and carpet identification. Next dates are July 14th/15th and September 29/30th.

For cleaners looking for refresher training on the basics but without the hands-on practical time, then the C1 One-Day Carpet Course does the job. Next dates are July 14th and September 29th.

Expanding that knowledge to now include upholstery and sofas in your cleaning offer, the U1 One-Day Upholstery Cleaning Course explains how to identify different types of fabrics including weaves, pile and leather, along with how to clean them. Next date is October 1st.

Stain and spills removal from carpets and upholstery is day-to-day for the cleaning professional - but what to use, and when? It's such a big topic that Prochem runs the SR1 Advanced Stain Removal Course. Created to share hands-on experience, this course is ideally suited for those who have previously attended one of the cleaning courses. Next date is July 16th.

Cleaning carpets? You are also going to be asked to clean hard floors. Prochem's HF1 One-Day Hard Floor Cleaning & Maintenance Training Course explains, through practical demonstrations, how to strip and re-polish, seal, clean and maintain a wide variety of flooring types including vinyl, linoleum, wood, nonslip, marble, ceramic and Bolon, amongst others. Next date is October 20th.

Students receive a comprehensive reference manual and certificate of attendance. Dates are published on the website, where all courses can be booked via:
