How do I start my own carpet cleaning business?

I'm thinking about starting my own carpet cleaning business, what equipment do I need as a minimum to start with? What are the different cleaning chemicals I will need? I have 3 vans, a 2002 Ford E-150, 1999 chevrolet express g3500 and a 2007 ford e-150. Are those vans good enough? Do I need a certain van? Also, how do I start this business? Any experienced real people out there? I have no idea how to look for workers, it would be nice to have some. Should I go out in public and put out fliers or something and for them to give me a call?

I knew a guy who had his own. He did most of the work himself, every now and then hiring someone for cash.

I have no idea the equipment needed and I know you have to be careful where you dispose of your dirty water. I saw one company truck doing it in a commercial area into a drain and apparently that is a big no-no.

The guy bid on and got some fairly large commercial jobs and did most of the work himself.

You should probably try working for someone else for awhile to learn the business.

You work for a carpet cleaner for at least a couple of years.

If you don't even know the chemicals, do not start this business.

  • Where do i start building my own Replica super cars? I have a list. I want the Lamborghini Murcielago SV Lamborghini Aventador SV Shelby GT350R Ford GT I don't want to buy kits. I want to MAKE the kits. How do i start? (I sculpt as a hobby) So i know how to sculpt. I've made several small sized sculpted cars. What i want to know is what type of material is used to make the body? I would prefer something cheap as hell. What type of material do those sellers make their kits of? Is it Carbon Fiber?
  • Why did my car start rolling on its own when changing the spark plugs? I got a ford 1999 taurus SE, when I was changing the spark plugs and wireset in the back part of the engine it, I felt it start rolling back. I had it in park, I quickly ran to the drivers side and put the E brake on but I still don't understand why it did that. It drove fine after that and so did the parking brake but wtf?
  • How is ebay still in business? They allow the Chinese to sell FAKE sterling jewelry (50 cents for a "sterling" ring) and FAKE silver dollars (counterfeit) and FAKE silver bars. They have more complaints against them than GM Ford and Toyota COMBINED. A lawsuit is filed against ebay every 8 minutes! A California judge called ebay "the worlds largest criminal organization" from the bench!
  • Cleaning weed out of truck? My dad smokes weed and he recently gave me his old Ford F-150, I drive to school, and I'm worried that there's a piece of weed in there that I missed while I was vacuuming and the school gets its annual drug search, then I get charged for "possession" of weed that was never mine
