Hi, i'm new!!
I am thinking of adding carpet cleaning to my existing cleaning biz, the info on this site is great, thanks.
Just wondered if there are any lady carpet cleaners out there?

When I first saw this thread, I thought one of the gents was on the prowl (why didn't I think of that?!).
There's a few ladies Claire. Where are you from?

The important part is getting the work in , talking to the customer, managing expectations and selling.

It is physically hard work cleaning carpets ,and I have seen very few female carpet cleaners, well none actually , I have seen a few wives helping husbands , but none actually leading out  doing the bulk of the physical labour.

Girlies? Oh there's loads of them with their won't do this won't do that, what would you do if, how would you deal with.....

Thankyou!

This is actually the first forum I have ever joined (I usually just read the posts) any forum.
I only joined as you all seem so friendly.

I know its hard work, Iv'e been a cleaner for about 8 years. Now I have staff and just manage. Carpet cleaning will be new to us  and it will be my husband doing the manual bit now that he has a few days in the week spare......I'll cook his tea when he gets home though!

 :P :P

You're right though, most of us "girlies" assist with the work, if necessary I can use the equipment, but would prefer not to do the work by myself, although on occassion when we have double booked(!!!!!) I have done.

Hi Clare,
I'm Craigs wife Vickie - I'm usually on here sometimes during the day. We're just starting up and Im going to be dealing with the marketing / office stuff but will be doing the smaller jobs as well though and helping on the bigger ones.
Everyone on here is friendly, just take it all in jest if anything out of turn is said. Will admit I have enjoyed reading some of the handbags at dawn stuff between the 'men' on occassion  ;D
