Carpet Cleaning Business Package

WHY OUR SYSTEM?

While over 90% of competitors rely on outdated hot water extraction (steam cleaning)—a 40-year-old method—our cutting-edge low-moisture technology redefines efficiency, results, and customer satisfaction. Traditional systems saturate carpets, risking prolonged drying (hours or even days), wicking stains, mold growth, and rapid re-soiling.

Traditional steam cleaning systems impose significant operational burdens, including exorbitant equipment costs, cumbersome and noisy machinery, frequent maintenance demands, and vulnerability to freezing-related damage. Compounding these challenges, operators face steep fuel expenses and stringent legal requirements for wastewater disposal—factors that escalate both costs and logistical complexity.

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:

PROFIT POTENTIAL

To provide a realistic estimate, consider a standard 3-bedroom ranch-style home with approximately 2,000 square feet of living space. On average, homes of this size contain about 900 square feet of carpeting. Based on industry standards, professional carpet cleaners typically charge $0.35 per square foot for cleaning services and an additional $0.15 per square foot for carpet protection, bringing the total service cost to $0.50 per square foot. While some professionals charge higher rates, this calculation remains conservative.

Estimated Revenue:

900 sq. ft. × $0.50 = $450.00

Time and Material Costs:

Cleaning a home of this size generally requires between 1.5 to 2 hours of labor. The cost of cleaning solutions and materials is approximately $0.05 per square foot, totaling $45.00 for the job.

Projected Profit:

$450.00 (Total Revenue) - $45.00 (Material Cost) = $405.00

This results in an hourly earnings potential of approximately $202.50 per hour for a two-hour job. Even if the job took four hours, earnings would still equate to $105.75 per hour.

For context, completing just three similar jobs per week would generate $1,215 for roughly 6 to 8 hours of work. Most full-time carpet cleaners complete at least one job per day, leading to significantly higher earnings.

Additional Revenue Opportunities

Many homeowners who schedule carpet cleaning services also request furniture cleaning. This service is highly profitable due to minimal material costs. Estimated pricing and cleaning times for common furniture items are:

• Sectional Sofa: $150.00 (Approx. 45 minutes)
• Couch: $105.00 (Approx. 30 minutes)
• Loveseat: $75.00 (Approx. 20 minutes)
• Armchair: $50.00 (Approx. 10–15 minutes)

Using the same carpet cleaning example above, adding a couch, loveseat, and chair would increase total earnings to $630.00 for approximately three hours of work.

Expanding into Additional Services

Beyond residential carpet and upholstery cleaning, other services can further enhance profitability:

• Commercial Carpet Cleaning: Offers substantial income potential due to larger spaces and recurring contracts.
• Tile & Grout Cleaning: Industry rates average $1.00 per square foot for cleaning and an additional $1.00 per square foot for sealing. For example, a 12’ × 12’ room would generate $288.00 in revenue for 1 to 2 hours of work.
• Laminate & Wood Floor Restoration: The Lamanator Plus system provides an efficient, high-margin solution for cleaning and restoring laminate and wood flooring without sanding.

By diversifying services, carpet cleaners can maximize profitability while meeting a wide range of customer needs.

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!
