I tried using the spare double bedroom once but the smell lingered around the house for days, so that won't be happening again.
I now use the Dave Liahona technique of scrubbing out on the drive, power wash off and hang over the fence. When dry take back.
Granted a dedicated unit would be ideal but as a sole trader that's a large expense unless you concentrate on rugs only.

How do you work it with the rugs?
They pick up and collect or you do it?
How do you price them?
I have a large drive and have done
the odd one or two but was thinking
of advertising it.

I doubt your doing wrong Ian, that's the main problem I find as well.
Don't do many in the winter months as a result.
