Prochem do a magazine, primarily about Prochem but some interesting articles in sometimes. There was a mag 10 years ago called carpet cleaner, it was very good but the guy did a runner with the subscription money I believe.
Cleaning & Hygeine and Cleaning & Maintenance often have features on carpet cleaning but are more aimed at cleaning in general. Other than that I am not aware of any. There are also some good American ones such as Cleanfax.

For cleaning in general:
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and Hygiene Today (CHT)
Cleaning Matters

And on the web:
Cle@nzine
Cleaning Matters

And as mentioned above,
NCCA's Newslink

John Turner is relaunching Carpet Cleaner again in Australia. There are doubters about him in the UK, but some observers reckon that the UK marketplace wasn't/isn't big enough for his mag to be commercially viable here, which is why, as a business, he failed. I believe that the new, reborn Carpet Cleaner will be available as an eZine as well as printed copy. This may form the basis of a more viable product.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

On the note of industry magazines, do you think there is currently a market place for a magazine to be distributed to cleaners, and is it something that would interest you especially if it was free??

It would be better if he made it a global thing with info from all four corners not just Australia so his readership would be greater.
