Education and knowing what you are doing is more important than owning equipment. There is a lot to learn in carpet cleaning. One thing I do know, it does not matter if you own a $50,000 carpet machine or a $100 one if you do not know the process to use and or what chemicals to use. There are several ways of cleaning carpet. From using an electric scrubber with a bonnet on it, to a shampoo machine, dry carpet materials with a vacuum, rental extractors, to big super vacuum and powerful truck mounts. Example of what I mean is that when I had a small portable extractor , I was doing a better job than some of my competition with the big truck mounts. Why? Because I went to several classes and learned all I could. I later went to big truck mount because of the speed, the increase in psi which allowed me to also do ceramic tile, the heat exchanger, the solution meters and so on. It is much more than the small extractors were. But if I did not learn how to mix chemicals properly, how and what to use when, then it wouldn't matter what type of equipment I had.
So please , before you just try reading the labels, find a class to attend. Check with IICRC for a class close to you.
Of all the different cleaning services I offer, I find that carpet cleaning is more of a science of cleaning than any other type of cleaning we do
