Carpet Cleaning

Someone in the church last night asked if I do carpet cleaning as the guy who does it in OAP's home has gave up. I heard its a growing industry with all the by2lets needing to be re-let?

I do it, but it's not a core business for me. Great cash in it if you can get the work and it's indoor work so nice in the winter. There's a lot of people on Facebook knocking out a room for a tenner with rubbish machines. I don't try and beat them on price as my setup cost a couple of grand.

I was looking at this one around the £3300 level. I would be looking for £50 a room so maybe its a none starter. The guy that does it for the care home has gave up so I may go and see them. I would need to hear what he was charging to see if its viable.

Very good machine for commercial jobs. Possibly a bit big for residential, you would have to leave it outside the house. Spending that you might pick up a van mount system reconditioned.

This the machine you want -

I use Prochem myself. If I was busy on it I would get the Jaguar 8.4

Been looking at getting started myself. Was looking at the Alltec Express for residential work. 

How did you get on @scottish cleaning service? Thinking about cleaning some carpets myself as I've been asked.

Ended up not going ahead because of the price and size of cleaners. Not sure if the demand was there unless you get in tow with letting agencies. One thing that it has going for it is that all the work is inside so weather isn't a problem. Might be better hiring a machine first to see how you get on, good luck.

I'd say leave it to the professionals what are going to do if a carpet has a stain and you have no idea how to remove it or what to to use or even have the the correct chemical to do so,

a lad I know does it as his business he has spent £1,000's on kit plus air pods to dry the carpets before he leaves, he has told me some real horror stories were people have had carpets damaged and some even left soaking wet by theses types on FB and people have had to replace the carpets.

Stick to one job and leave it to those who already do it.

Carpet cleaning has come along way. Not knowing the correct ph or techniques will ruin a carpet. The use of glass bead and various solutions makes you a pro

I apologize for that. I didn't have any Idea about it. It'll never happened again.

Hi mate, I think what you’ll find is that this is a forum for Window cleaners. 
 The carpet cleaning section is for window cleaners who also do a bit of carpet cleaning on the side. 
 There may not be much traffic here as not many offer it. 
But welcome anyway??
