If you’re going to start a carpet cleaning business, eventually you’ll run into some pet stains. In fact, pet stains and odor are probably the #1 reason customers get their carpets cleaned.

If you don’t have a good pet treatment to get those stains and smells out, you’re dead in the water.

That’s why I love Nature’s Miracle.

Still on the fence about this pet treatment? Let me give you 3 reasons to buy some right now:

1. Nature’s Miracle can be bought at most pet stores. That’s a huge bonus, if you think about it. Anytime you’re running low on pet treatment, run down to the local Petco or Petsmart to pick up more! No long shipping times.
2. Use the Advanced formula to get really excellent results
3. At $30-$40 per gallon, it’s not exactly cheap. But you can charge your customers whatever you want for pet treatment! My advice: charge enough to cover the cost of 1 gallon of pet enzyme per job. That means you need to charge at least $35 to add pet treatment to a job. (Want to make more money? Try charging $35 per room for pet treatment!)

Go out and buy a gallon of Nature’s Miracle. Try it out. Let me know what you think.

And don’t forget to buy a portable extractor to get professional results on pet spots.

Next time we chat, I’ll tell you about another important chemical that can help you make more money with your carpet cleaning business.

The post Why I Love Nature’s Miracle Pet Treatment For VLM Carpet Cleaning appeared first on VLMtraining.com.

If you’re going to start a carpet cleaning business, you’re going to run into pet messes. Guaranteed.

One of the biggest reasons customers will hire you: the dog/cat peed on the floor.

“Whoops! Call the carpet cleaner.”

Relax… this is exactly what will put $$$ in your pocket! If you know how to handle those pet jobs when they come along…

Lucky for you, I’m here to help.

For pet messes, I highly recommend Nature’s Miracle Advanced formula. Especially for new carpet cleaners.

Here’s why:
-Nature’s Miracle Advanced comes in a dog or cat formula, so you can pick the one you need for the job
-It gets great results and smells nice
-It’s easy to use (no mixing required!). Just pour it on the spot and let it sit for 15-30 minutes)

There are plenty of other pet treatments available on the market, but Nature’s Miracle is always where I tell people to start.

Now… can you pour Nature’s Miracle on the “pet spot” and walk away? Yes, but I don’t always recommend it.

You should try to “extract” the spot, if possible.

Consider buying a small portable extractor (like this one) and keeping it in your van, car, or whatever you drive to carpet cleaning jobs. Click here to buy a portable extractor now.

Steam cleaners have a big extractor and use it as their main cleaning method.

VLM cleaners often keep a small extractor on hand, in case of pet spots.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Pour Nature’s Miracle on the spot. Let sit for 15-30 minutes
2. Extract or “suck out” the Nature’s Miracle using your portable extractor
3. Spray fresh water or cleaning solution into the spot to “rinse” it out

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

P.S. Two more quick tips about pet treatment:
-Make sure you tell customers “the pet spots will take longer to dry” (trust me, you need to tell them or they’ll get upset that the carpet didn’t dry quickly!)
-Make sure you charge extra for pet treatment. Do not give this away for free under any circumstances. Pet treatment will be one of your biggest money makers in the carpet cleaning business. It will pay back the cost of a portable extractor very quickly!

The post Why I Love Green Dragon For VLM Carpet Cleaning appeared first on VLMtraining.com.

Last time we talked about VLM cleaning solutions.

Reminder: I recommend Green Dragon from Encapstore.

That’s because Green Dragon satisfies all 3 of my rules for VLM cleaning solutions:

1. Must be approved for “low moisture” or “bonnet” cleaning
2. Must leave low or no residue on the carpet (this is important, because residue can make the carpet get dirty again quickly!)
3. Must be easy to get good results

Now… there are a lot of other cleaning solutions available on the internet.

If you go down to your local carpet cleaning supply warehouse (like Jon Don or Interlink), you may find some good VLM solutions, too.

What I’m saying is “you don’t have to use Green Dragon, but it’s a great place to start.”

Despite my recommendations, some people will experiment with “cheaper solutions” like ammonia and Fabuloso.

But mixing your own chemicals can get messy. And what happens if you screw up somebody’s carpet? I’d hate for that to happen to you.

That’s why I always recommend using a professional product like Green Dragon. Something that has proper chemistry for VLM cleaning, has been tested by professionals, and has lots of real world experience & reviews to back it up.

At this point you might be wondering “do VLM carpet cleaners use a different kind of cleaning solution than steam cleaners?”

Yes, they do!

VLM cleaners don’t typically use the same pretreatments and cleaning solutions as steam cleaners.

VLM cleaners use VLM cleaning solutions. Makes sense, right?

What makes a good VLM cleaning solution?

Here are my 3 rules for a VLM cleaning solutions:

1. Must be approved for “low moisture” or “bonnet” cleaning
2. Must leave low or no residue on the carpet (this is important, because residue can make the carpet get dirty again quickly!)
3. Must be easy to get good results

P.S. – some people like to start with “Fabuloso” which is available at many dollar stores and home stores (Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, etc). You can also use things like peroxide or ammonia. But unless you know exactly what you are doing, I don’t recommend mixing your own chemicals. It’s much safer to buy a pre-made (and tested) VLM cleaning solution like VLM.
