After 20 years, why are you still cleaning filthy carpet?

I put this in a house I intended to flip in the early eighties. The realtor asked if I would please change out the carpet before he listed.

Out of style 50 years ago, but that's some great wearing carpet.

I installed a lot of that in my past. Happy Valley was what it was called.

When I had my 136 rentals, It was the only carpet I would install. The stuff lasts forever and if the tenants use a sippy cup you don't have to worry about stains.

Mikey & Jim Pemberton made some good points above / MAINTENANCE is a win-win for you and your customer... It's easier for you to take care of a well-maintained carpet. It builds you up a route of maintenance contracts that you can bank on servicing month after month. It enables the customer to expect clean carpet year-round. It helps the building owner to project a budget for carpet care. And it extends the life of their carpet investment.

This is based on commercial carpet care, but could be morphed into residential as well. Think about it... People hire monthly lawn care services, pest control services, they have a service contract for their HVAC system, etc... So why not carpet care too?
