Hey CookieMonster,
You actually bring up a loaded question, what I'm going to say comes from commercial carpet cleaning only and my experience.... the subject of vacuuming.
If you can vacuum before and after it would be ideal for carpet cleaning,,, that is,,, if the customer is willing to pay for it.
Vacuuming can be as time consuming as cleaning the carpet itself sometimes. So if a customer is willing to pay for your time to do it, then why not. In my world of commercial carpet cleaning most customers are not willing to pay extra for vacuuming. Also the question comes up from my commercial customers is, "why do I need to pay extra for vacuuming when I have janitorial that vacuums on a nightly basis". So all I can do is in my proposals is make vacuuming recommendations, does it get followed, I highly doubt it.
For me its a double edge sword, do I want to vacuum? yes...................... Am I willing to do it for free and/or customers willing to pay for vacuuming ? 95% of the time,,,no
