Title: Need a bit of advice
Post by: pjulk on October 01, 2004, 08:18:21 pm

I am already doing window cleaning since may and going quite well and thinking about also doing carpet cleaning.

I have done carpet cleaning before and used to enjoy it but this was about 15 years ago helping a chap out up north for about 6 months.

I expect there has been a lot of changes since then and really want to know if its worth doing with so many people offering cut price carpet and upholstery cleaning.

I was thinking about buying alltecs Aqua 40 Basic
Starter Package.
Is this ok to start with and build on it as i get enough work.
There is also a Two-day Carpet School and a One-Day Marketing Seminar training in this package are they any good.

I do plan on deliving about 5000 leaflets a week to start with how many enquiries would i expect from this many leaflets a week.
I am not going to do it dirt cheap either and have been looking around at prices and was this about 25p per square foot.

Any advice would be appreciated

Paul

I bought that same start up pack though i like the machine and you get a load of chemicals.

 i also manage to get a few freebees hose bags for one.

If i could turn the clock back i would research what i needed and just get that to start, and build from there. ie i got a lot of upholstery cleaning stuff but i'm not doing that yet so i dont need to have it just yet, though i will in the future.

Then use the money for other things ie sebo vacuum but not from alltec as you can get them a lot cheaper else where.             Paul
