Hi,

I do work for a large management company, who have told me if i went into carpet cleaning, they would offer me quite abit of work.

Thank you

It depends on so much. Even your age, carpet cleaning is no quick buck. If you start at 35, you could still be struggling at 40!

I wouldn't enter carpet cleaning on the back of one company offering me work.

but if it commercial carpets and you don;t plan on cleaning upholstery then you could get away with a bonnet system which you could pick up for less than £1000 and minimal training
