Hi y'all, young rug newbie here. I have never posted on any forum before, but I really need some advice and from the threads, y'all seem nice, so here it goes. If there is a similar post here with the info I need, I apologize.
I recently made the decision to start a rug cleaning business. The only practical experience I have with actual rug cleaning is 3 months working a flex job back in college and there were no machines, just brushes and squeegees!!
But now, I am fully ready to delve in after doing a lot of research on competition, location, business operations etc. The part I am missing is technical knowledge like: for a startup what is the best equipment to have to begin with? Which specific equipments should I be getting - what kind of rotary scrubber, which rotary brushes to keep handy, what shampoos/detergents are a must have to begin etc. I really need a mentor and I am even willing to pay for the value it brings - I already took the RCT course and did not feel like I got much value out of it.
Any help is deeply appreciated!
