 Topic: Carpet Cleaning Startup InfoPosted: 30/August/2007 at 9:38pm |

Hi Guys! I'm Dan. I am persuing the idea of starting a carpet cleaning business and have $15,000 to invest. Can you all give me any ideas on which way I should go to get the biggest bang for my buck. Should I initially go for a portable only? What about carrying it around up stairs, etc? Do I have to have a truckmount?
Which brands of portables and truckmounts do you find to be worth buying? What about leasing? Used equipment? Thanks for the input...just confused with all the equipment manufacturers out there. Dan |

Sounds like someone doesn't want a newbie in the business. Don't worry, I won't take to much of your profits......thanks for the words of encouragement.

Chemicals are much better these days. It will probably only take 10 years. |
