Carpet Cleaner

Carpet Cleaners remove stains from carpets using special equipment. To do the job of a Carpet Cleaner well, you should enjoy working with other people, working with the public, and working with your hands. And you’re going to get a little dirty, so that shouldn’t bother you either. But one thing that’s great about being a Carpet Cleaner is you have immediate proof of a hard day’s labor when you look down at the newly cleaned floors you’ve worked on.

In addition to the industrial strength cleaners you use, you also wield a powerful vacuum and steam cleaner as well as some techniques that make you so invaluable. You most likely work for an independent cleaning company, but you could also be self-employed. Your jobs range from a single room in an apartment to an entire commercial building. And because carpets will always attract dirt and grime, you’ll always have work.

It definitely involves a lot of physical labor, but you also do a certain amount of marketing (in the way you work and present yourself) as well as accounting. You have to determine the dimensions of the rooms you’ll be cleaning, the stains you’ll be dealing with, and the materials you’ll be using (which vary depending on the kinds of carpets and stains you’re working with).

Once you have all of your info, you calculate an invoice and create a contract for your customer. You also tell them which stains are impossible to remove, how clean the carpets will actually be able to get, what the refund policy is, and what the expected drying time is.
