POGO FUN

A home based carpet cleaning business is a greatly profitable venture. It is a home business that can be started with little finance, experience or skills.

Many millions of homes and offices have wall-to-wall carpeting. Most people will have their maid vacuum these carepets, maybe two to threee times a week. However, carpets, by their very nature, need to be deep-cleaned every three months or so. Most people overlook or are too lazy to do this as a deep clean requires a bit more work and takes a bit longer.

This is where you will come in as a carpet cleaning business. You will provide deep clean services to carpets in homes and offices. A deep clean can be performed with a range of equipment in an number of ways. It is best to chat to a supplier of deep clean carpet products and equipment. They can also teach you how to perform deep cleans with their equipment - there you go, you will then learn how to perform this function to your clients.

You and your crew will be cleaning at clients premises but the entire business can be controlled from your own home. You will need a small work area as well as a small storage area at home. Some office equipment and furniture is a must - so is a telephone. You will need someone to answer phones or you can make use of a phone answer service.

You will probably need someone to assist you with the cleaning as it is physical work - ensure you are up to it too! Later on, as you grow, you can get employees to do the cleaning whilst you go about managing every other aspect and growing your business.

You will also need a small van/utility vehicle or even a small car with a trailer will do - to shunt your crew, cleaning chemicals and equipment around.

The best place to advertise your services is in the Yellow Pages as well as the house and home sections of your newspaper.

Check what your competitors charge and price lower than them.
