How to use this list

Put Business registration, General liability insurance, the Upholstery cleaning service menu, and Furniture-piece price sheet in place first. Use the Customer booking form before the visit. Request fabric care-label photos, then document the piece with the Furniture condition form and Stain and odor questionnaire.
