Question to people with experience of both carpet cleaning & oven cleaning.
Which one do you find there is more work available? And which one do you thing is more profitable?

If you are looking to clean ovens without taking the doors off or using a diptank then i think carpet cleaning is for you.

Bill, im not intending to clean ovens without a diptank or removing doors.  I asked the question out of interest.

Oven cleaning £25ish an hour,  carpet cleaning £70ish an hour

No comparison

I think the market size is the same, if they will pay someone to clean their oven they will pay someone to clean their carpets, and visa-versa

£70 per hour you mite earn that but prob 90% don't. I reckon as it is at the moment oven cleaning not a lot out there compared to carpet cleaners.

Commercial kitchen cleaning is worth more than commercial carpets.
