Should You Carry a Carpet Extractor in Your Carpet Cleaning Van?
by: Mike Dinicola
The carpet cleaning van is the focal point for any mobile cleaning service. It transports the needed equipment to the customer premise so you can perform your carpet cleaning service. What you carry in back of the van needs to match your services so you don't have to come back another day, inconveniencing both you and your customer. However, the space in the van is limited so you need to think carefully about the equipment requirements for each service offered.
A carpet extractor machine is not a common accessory to most small carpet cleaning businesses. They're bulky, take up precious room in the van and basically perform the same job as truck mount carpet cleaning equipment. So why carry both?
This goes back to the list of services you provide and your target group of customers. If your business goal is to focus on residential customers only, then carrying a carpet extractor is probably unnecessary. However, if you'd like to perform cleaning services for commercial buildings, then a carpet extractor becomes a 'must have' piece of equipment.
Many commercial buildings are ill-suited for truck mount equipment. Security concerns are raised at having the leave a door open to snake your lines and hoses from the van to the area to be cleaned. Also, truck mounts have limited range if you need to clean on multiple floors. Lastly, they can be noisy which makes them inappropriate for hospitals, clinics, care facilities, etc.
Loading a carpet extractor in your van gives you the ability to service multiple different customers in a single day without a return trip to the office. It can open up a whole new group of potential customers from small office buildings to office parks. This is a good way to expand your business with minimal additional investment.
Defining your list or services and target customers can help you can tailor your equipment needs and organize your carpet cleaning van accordingly. A carpet extractor adds flexibility to your service offerings and can help a growing business expand into new areas.
