I have been carpet cleaning part-time for close to 2 years and things are starting to get really busy for me this year. I use only an old blue CCS machine for carpet cleaning but I need to start investing in more equipment to expand my services.
I cleaned the carpet in a salon a few days ago and the owner asked me if I would also clean her tile and grout floors (about 3 rooms) and a large area of laminate flooring. I also know that I have been turning down a lot of upholstery cleaning that I would love to be able to do.
I was thinking of getting a small spotting machine like they sell at Excellent supply for the upholstery cleaning but if I want to start doing tile and grout, is there a different portable machine I should look at?
I'm just not sure what kind of a job my little CCS machine will do on the T&G so I think my options would be to get a 175 floor machine or a more powerful portable that could handle not only upholstery but T&G.
If you were me, what would you be looking for?
