    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=5290">Billy Barty</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 3609<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 17/November/2023 at 1:02am<br /><br />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.]]>

If you got 500 customers at 25cents sq ft you got a job and nothing more.  Life begins at 500 and gets better.]]>

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.]]>
