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.

Sadly no! But the drive will do (not a lot of sun in the afternoon stops the bleaching)

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.
If there isn't enough time to do the job right,  how do we find the time to go back and do it again when the customer is not happy ?   Do it right the 1st Time.
