WHY OUR SYSTEM?

Over 90% of your competition will be traditional steam cleaners (hot water extraction), you have seen them with the big van out front of a house with hoses running into the house.  Steam Cleaning (hot water extraction is a 40 year-old process that can leave the carpets wet for many hours (or even days when not done properly).  It is an old system that relies on high water pressure and detergent to clean (which can force water and dirt down into the pad and even the sub-floor).  A lot of the water is then sucked out of the carpet, but because the pad and sub-floors are wet, it takes a long time to completely dry.  This can cause wicking problems (stains coming back), mildew and mold problems, quick re-soiling, and a total inconvenience for the customer.  The equipment used is costly, heavy, noisy, high maintenance, large, complicated to use, and susceptible to costly freezing damage.  The gas to power the equipment is expensive and you have to find a legal place to dump the dirty recovered water (which also adds cost and time)."

We have come a long way in 40 years. With our system, the carpets will be dry in about 30 minutes; stains will not come back, and carpets will repel dirt after cleaning, keeping them clean much longer.  Our equipment is much less costly, light weight, quiet, no maintenance, small, easy to use, easy to transport, easy to store, with no freezing problems.  There is no gas to buy for the equipment (you use the customers electricity), and there is no water to dump.

In a large national survey asking customers who had their carpets cleaned, what their biggest complaint was, the overwhelming number one answer was that the carpets were too wet and took way too long to dry.  The second biggest complaint was that most of the stains came back after the carpet dried.

Using the newest cleaning technology also has eliminated the problem of long dry times after the carpet has been cleaned.  With our newest system carpets are dry in 30 minutes or so and can be walked on immediately.  The equipment is easy to use and maintain.  Because the equipment is so quiet to operate with no hoses running through the building, coupled with the fact that the carpets dry so quickly and can be walked on even during cleaning, means cleaning of commercial carpets can be done while the business is still open.  This is obviously a huge benefit for them as well as a home owner.  You can clean a home in the morning and they can entertain that afternoon.

Using these new cleaning techniques allows the new person getting into the business a leg-up on the competition.  The reason for this is that over 90% of the current carpet cleaners still use steam cleaning (hot water extraction) to clean carpets.  Steam cleaning is a 40 year-old process using large amounts of water with heavy complicated equipment that has cost them tens of thousands of dollars. Because of this big investment many are unable or are reluctant to change to the newer systems of cleaning.  This allows you to offer your customers carpets that are cleaner, dry much faster, with less noise, less hassle, and no returning spots.

The new cleaning chemistry is much safer for the home owner as well as you the cleaner when cleaning carpets. In fact, many of the cleaning agents we use now have no chemicals at all.  As stated above, this also sets you apart from the competition because you can offer chemical free cleaning.

With the advent of new cleaning systems, equipment, and chemicals, carpet cleaning is now relatively inexpensive to get into.  You no longer have to buy big vans and install expensive cleaning machinery.  The newest machines can now be transported in a Minivan, SUV, or even a car.  Below are pictures of some of the vehicles our company uses:

Because of the low water use and low or chemical-free cleaning agents it is a very environmentally friendly cleaning process.

IS IT PROFITABLE

Let’s look at a typical cleaning job.  We will be conservative here.  Our marketing program tells you to market to upper end homes, because they have their carpets cleaned regularly, have the discretionary income, and always want their homes to look clean.  However, for this example we will choose a typical 3 bedroom ranch house that is 2000 square feet.  This type of home would normally have about 900 square feet of carpeting.  We recommend and most professional cleaners would charge .35 cents a square foot to clean it, and 15 cents a square foot for the Kleen Sheild carpet protector (like scotch guard).  So the total cost per square foot for cleaning and carpet protector would be .50 a square foot.  We know many cleaners that charge much more than this.

900 Square Feet X .50 = $450.00

It should take you between 1 ½ to 2 hours to clean this house.  The cost of material would be about .05 cents a square foot or $45.00.  Your profit would be $405.00 for about 2 hours of actual work or $202.50 an hour.  Even if it took you 4 hours of work (which is should never take that long), you would still make $105.75 an hour.

If the house was bigger you would make more. You can see that doing only 3 houses of this size a week would earn you about $1215.00 for roughly 6 to 8 hours of actual work.  Most carpet cleaners clean at least 1 house a day.

The above does not include furniture cleaning.  Many homes that have their carpets cleaned also have their furniture cleaned at the same time.  Some customers just want their furniture cleaned.  Furniture cleaning is very profitable also.  Examples would be: Sectional ($150.00) takes about 45 minutes, Couch ($105.00) takes about 30 minutes, Love Seat ($75), takes about 20 minutes, Stuff Chair ($50.00) takes about 10 to 15 minutes.  Cost of material less than a dollar each.  Using the above carpet cleaning example of $405.00 profit, if you also cleaned their couch, love seat, and chair you would add $230.00 to your profit for a total of $630.00 for about 3 hours of work.

Commercial carpet cleaning can be even more profitable.

Tile and grout cleaning is also very lucrative, and there is more tile and grout in homes and businesses than ever before.  Normal charges for cleaning tile and grout is $1.00 a square foot to clean and $1.00 a square foot to seal.  So a 12 X 12 foot room would generate $288.00 for about 1 to 2 hours of work.

Not only do many homes have tile and grout, but many also have Laminate or wood floors. Our Lamanator Plus laminate and wood floor (no sanding) cleaning and restoration system is easy to do, and just as profitable.

CARPET CLEANING PROCESS

This process is very easy to learn and perform. It will typcially be done in 3 - 4 steps:

1. Vacuum the carpet
2. Apply the encap solution with the electric sprayer
3. Use the CRB machine to scrub, clean and groom the carpet.
4. Apply the carpet protector (if customer purchased)

The carpet will look great, stay clean longer, and dry in 1-2 hours. This system will leave your customers absolutely blown away!

As you can see this is a very easy process, and is actually fun to do. It is amazing to watch a very dirty carpet transform into a new looking carpet. Most people get a lot of satisfaction doing this. It is easy, fun, and you can make really good money doing it, even part time.
