Not knocking Padman's man system but on some of his post it appears that for some jobs you would have to use up to 100 pads. Even if you cut this in half it would be a high cost for one job considering the cost of each pad that you would have to purchase. What I'm saying is how would this machine be used for residential, how would you get into the corners. I know it sounds good for commercial jobs but I feel steam cleaning is still the better way, it would be less expensive. Just thinking out Loud!!! |

I'm pretty determined to save up for the OP system, then after awhile get a truckmount. Funny thing is, I'll probably end up using it for everything but carpet cleaning.

Oh but Tom That way has been the start up of many carpet cleaning businesses, maybe not the renting part but starting with a portable most cleaners have gone that route and built from there. It really all depends on what you can afford and the type of equipment you want to start with. One step at a time. |

hehe adwa, it basicaly says to start out by getting a bunch of customers and then renting a portable to service them. When you got enough money, buy a portable and continue to work your way up from there. I am not beyond doing something like this myself, but I want to do this proper, and that doesn't sound like the proper way.

It is a good article for a very ambitious person to get the general idea for carpet cleaning. However I have a short attention span and it went on and on and on |

"How to start a carpet cleaning business" http://www.iversonsoftware.com/success/p3319.htm I think this guy has soome good general ideas, but his plan requires more of a mastery of BS than of carpet cleaning. |
