20 per day for a few days or long term?

if it was long term I would recommend getting something with auto fill and auto dump.

if it was just going to be a few times, I would pay someone to be a runner and keep me topped off with solution and keep draining the extractor.

How dirty and what material?

Padcapping might be a possibility.

20 sofas a day would make me $2500 a day  and would take me about 19 hours a day to get done.  So if I needed to do 20 sofas a day the 1st thing I would do is hire two employees to help me clean them.

I would get either the new Saphire uhpolstery tool or the Drimaster tool.  Machine wise. Probably a That new Jag 6.6 from Cross American.  Cuz with that kind of work it would be paid off in a day or two and then it would be there for all sorts of other stuff too.

The 'machine' I would recommend first would be two good folding saw horses, a 3/4 inch piece of ply wood and a helper. Or a new back right after you are done. Take your pick.

I'm a beginner with upholstery, but I now have a few tools to help. Step Son Stair Tool, vapor steam cleaner, VS upholstery unit. I've just started using the vs system. All three ways seem 'best' given any number of situations to get about the same results. The steamer is nice for really trashed stuff, but also more risky to use because of potential for heat damage. The stair tool is good on UP that doesn't have much contour (buttons, folds, etc.), but not so good on big fluffy and loosely stretched fabrics. It's also heavy. The vs machine seems the best all around unit so far. I also keep a couple hand brushes nearby. One has soft bristles and one has medium bristles. Helps with the hard to get at places.
