The answer to ‘do I really need professional carpet cleaning training’ is yes, if you want to make a lucrative career of it. Everyone knows you can hire a carpet cleaning machine from the local shop these days. But even though these machines are aimed at the DIY market, they still need to be in trained hands. Ask any well-established carpet cleaner how many calls per month they get to rescue DIY carpet cleaning disasters. This is because of over wetting, the wrong type of chemicals and range of other issues that unless the operator is trained, they just don’t know about. Do yourself a favour, get trained and be a professional carpet cleaning technician earning good money for a great local service.
