Well , I am new here and have been looking to get into this business ,, i am retiring at early age next month and it is time I worked for myself . I was going to do this business about 15 years ago ,but full time job got in way .I have been looking at the roto vac portables ,but am getting into looking at other things also . I do want the best for a good price and small start up costs ,and hopefully expand as time goes on with TM later.I was surprised to see there was a forum on this subject and hopefully learn alot from you all . Located in canada ,toronto area. Well off to read the forums and thanks..

I am only 48 , retired early with a package , and it is time to do something different , so are you trying to talk me out of this .. I don't need to make a lot but would like for my kid to have a parttime job with this .. and who knows maybe expand it and retire again.

I would suggest OP cleaning method. Less investment, easier on the body, great results.
But that is just my view of things. |

This can be a great business if one operates it correctly....................and in a smart way.
I know because I am living proof of that. Moved from a card board box on main Street to a neat house in the Suburbs.
Hummmm. Pour me a glass of merlot, Thank you!

If your located in Cleanforless if you can get your son to listen to you …………carpet cleaning part time could definitely help with a young family…….. I have been trying for years to get my son into this business part time if only for something to fall back on…………..the boy is still not listening. |
