Here is the deal- My wife and I are considering starting our own carpet cleaning business. We are not trying to make millions and we both have great, well paying jobs that we won't leave. We just need something to use as a tax write off. I can find a used truckmount cleaner with a truck for 10K or under. I figured I could hook up with some "slum lords" south of town and at least get some business on some junky rentals. What do you think? What kind of equipment should I consider? (dry chem?) Where do I get research information? The library sucks and Amazon.com doesn't have anything. Thanks... |

The internet is the largest library in the world. Learn by clicking. That's where I'd start. Secondly I would use the handy dandy search function of this forum and be sure to check out the Marketing and Promotion Section for some ideas. Good Luck |

I'm positive about the negative...and negative about the positive.

I like it... I'm the boss... cant get fired... make up the rules as I go. I like yelling at myself...and myself doesn't listen... I'm always paid on time...if there is any money... and if the customers have a problem I just call the office and talk to the boss... you can be the boss anytime you want or not love it |
