[all clean and pristine]

I have a local cleaning company and if their clients want carpet cleaning they point them in my direction, they started to clean carpets themselves but without a decent machine it took too long and the results were not good enough.  If you are serious get some training, then you will know about machines, what carpets to clean and how and when to walk away. You would be better to keep sub contracting the work out than getting poor results, over wet carpets etc. that could have a knock on affect for the rest of your business.

Good Honest advice richard Thankyou.And yes I agree which is why at the moment I do sub the carpet jobs out.I am just looking at ways to improve profits at the moment,but am in full agreement with your comments.

Thankyou for reply Simon I am new to this site and replys seem a bit thin on the ground mate . Can you give a few suggestions as a place to start

As has already been stated, get some training. Then you will need a professional quality machine, like a twin vac machine with 150 psi pump. There is no point in skimping on training or buying the proper equipment because without them you won't last long anyway. So if you haven't got the budget then wait until you have.

Puzzi!!! No chance would I ever clean any customers items with that!! You'll look like a gypsy aswell as doing a bad job.

Seriously, you'll give yourself a bad name mate.

Look on ebay or on here for a second hand airflex or even a steampro.

If you buy a new machine from a suppliars, most will offer a free training course. I.e. CleanSmart.com
