The profitability of a one-van carpet cleaning business depends on various factors. Operating costs, pricing strategy, and the local market to name a few. While the number 500 seems like a ballpark estimate, the actual figure can vary widely.
When I clean it, I mean it! :)

With 500 good customers you can do well. If you got 500 customers at 25cents sq ft you got a job and nothing more. Life begins at 500 and gets better.

I guess that all depends on your living expenses. I am single with no kids and I have about 200 customers (counting revolving commercial) and I'm grossing about 1k a week working about 15 hours. With 500 customers I could make 100k a year.

Especially if you want to live in a million dollar house.

I agree with steamer that it takes alot more than you think if you want to more than just survive.

500 customers a very good business????I disagree. with only 500 customers under your belt you better go live with mother or the in laws.

Some of us here just get buy...and are happy with that, maybe thats what you are looking for. but if you want to be able to make money you are going to need much more than that.
