As our economy goes into the tank you can expect more people starting up their own business, some will choose carpet cleaning, and heaven forbid they will no idea about quality work etc. etc. Prices will be low, service low, customer satisfaction low, and our reputation as carpet cleaners gets another bad mark. |

When food is scarce..........RATS always show their ugly faces...............that's when the bigger CATS eat them for dinner using their brains.............no such thing as competition...........just smarter and quicker old pros who know how to play the game

I think just the opposite.... Gas is way toooooo high... even soap and chemical cost have gone way up... There is no one looking to get in...only those looking to get out!
Most people turn into handymen...s omething that doesn't cost very much to start up...handmen...maid service...lawn cutters.
a portable goes for a pretty good buck...you could buy 3 or 4 lawncutters for that...LOL and windex is still pretty evenly priced.
there are certain areas in the GTA where they can't find a carpet cleaner...ie Orangeville/Grandvalley/Dundalk/
Here in canada carpet cleaners are a dying breed Edited by MR. STEAMER - 30/April/2008 at 1:24pm |

Maybe people are buying less carpet, and going for marble, granit & wood . I think carpet is a poor investment

Carpet is still being made at record rates, and yes it is the best floor covering for several reasons. There may not be as much carpet in to day's homes but they do have carpet and it needs to be cleaned and Steamer who said the fly by night carpet cleaner will buy a portable, he books a bunch of work rents a rug doctor and away he goes |
