Nothing really.. Delco has some info on PW
I'm sure they don't tell you the inside secrets though..

Rick, believe it or not, that's the perfect scenario. Anyone who helps you out will be someone who won't be your future competition. It seems to me that you need to take a trip and work for someone for free for at least a week. That's a small investment for all that experience. |

It is hard to put it into words, I guess we do things everyday and do not think of them as tricks of the trade. I would think it would be better to find someone near you that would be willing to let you go out with them on some jobs to see first hand how they go about cleaning carpets. I should ask what cleaning method you are going to use in your venture into this industry. Some suppliers are carpet cleaners as well and can train you if you buy their products.

I'll look into the class to get the basics down, but I would bet that some of you have some insider knowledge from years of experience running your carpet cleaning business, that no class would teach.
The same with the pressure washing business. I guarantee I can share some tricks of the trade that you won't find in any class or book. |
