$700 to remove a pound of dirt from carpet..

[Mikey P]

thats what it says in the new (and very nice) Interlinksupply catalog.

$700 Commercially that is, not residential carpet where I would think much more soil is removed on average.

I can charge $1400, run a Cimex and not remove a single ounce...lol.


Cary the Carpet Guy looks like a credible source, I just have to wonder how he came up with that figure.

I believe that is a very old figure established by 3M a few decades back.

Hey Mike, those pads had a little dirt in them. Very little!

The figure is up-date of the 3M and ISSA figures on cleaning costs.
