Starting a Carpet Cleaning Business – How to Market Your Carpet Cleaning Service





Author: Ricky Lim

Starting a carpet cleaning business is advisable for aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking for a straightforward business endeavor that does not require a huge capital, overhead, and experienced staff.



In fact, during the startup phase, you can do everything yourself and the only thing you have to worry about is getting a good place to set up shop, and promoting your new carpet cleaning business.



Carpet cleaning equipment is really not the problem, since there are a lot of aftermarket carpet cleaners that can handle a heavy load, and they will only cost you a few hundred bucks to a thousand. The cleaning materials are even easier, since the soap and shampoo used for the machines are readily available in stores, and can be bought wholesale through some suppliers.



The hard part in starting a carpet cleaning business is building a list of regular clients. People do not need to clean their carpets daily and some people with a lot of free time on their hands tend to enjoy doing it themselves.



However, there are still many households that are too busy to clean their own carpet and if you can secure just a few household clients for the long term, it can provide a steady cash flow for your business for years.



If you have the right amount of marketing and selling skills; it would be very profitable if you can get large offices and buildings as regular clients. These establishments have large carpets that need to be cleaned regularly to prevent their place of work from looking scruffy.



If you are planning to promote your services to these large potential clients, remember to look presentable and professional. Do not make the mistake of showing up to an appointment or meeting in the same clothes that you normally wear while doing your job.

Winn’s Pro- I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I manage 16 luxury homes in Aspen, Colorado and would not go anywhere else for my carpet cleaning needs. On top of requiring very discreet and trustworthy services, our homeowners have specialty rugs and carpets which require unique care. Over the long relationship Ute Place has shared with Marty, there is not a problem Winn’s pro has not been able to handle for us. When he says, “call me any time”, he means it! Marty is always willing to help in emergency situations late in the day or over weekends and holidays and arrives on your doorstep quickly and with a smile. My homeowners are continually impressed with the “magic” Marty works on their carpets and rugs, always leaving them looking like new. I would, without hesitation, recommend Marty’s professional services to any client looking for a superior, friendly and flawless cleaning service.

Thank you Winn’s Pro!

Testimonial from Mason Morse Real Estate:This is to let you know that Marty Winn did an excellent job of cleaning our carpets. His service is unbeatable and the quality of his work is definitely first class.We had stains on our carpet that no other carpet cleaner was able to get out. The stains were set in and had been there for quite some time. Marty came to our office and said he did not care if we gave him the job or not; but he wanted to try and get the stains out. He not only got them out, his prices were excellent also.Marty came and cleaned our carpets and has followed up to make sure the stains have not returned.I highly recommend and trust Marty and Winn’s Pro Carpet Cleaning. He definitely is a professional and takes pride in his work.Thank you for all that you have done!Sincerely,Karen Scarberry/Office ManagerMason Morse Real Estate0290 Hwy 133Carbondale, CO. 81623
