Hi Zoe,

As Jason has said, it's perfectly feasible to set up and operate a carpet cleaning business, utilizing only low mositure system(s), for a lower set up cost than hot water extraction tends to be.

Contrary to what some may say, you will be able to tackle ANY carpet in any setting and in any condition with the right low moisture set up.   Your customers will love that their carpets are dry in around 1 hour.

Example;-

This rotary carpet cleaning machine (new) and included accesories:-

These agitation bonnets:-

This as your main cleaning solution:-

A spotting kit, consisting of dry solvent and various specialist spot/stain removers.

And this water extraction spotting machine (scroll right to the bottom. It's called the CFR35 and I use it:-

Total set up cost around £1200, all new equipment.

There is a strong bias towards hot water extraction on this forum, so many will disagree with me but the truth is out there............
