If you’re going to start a VLM carpet cleaning business, you’re going to need a carpet rake (or two). The rake helps you remove all the swirl marks your buffers leaves in the carpet during VLM cleaning.

Personally, I love the Grandi Groom carpet rake. I don’t think there is a better option out there.

Still on the fence about this rake? Let me give you 3 reasons to buy one right now:

1. A Grandi Groom rake will leave nice, defined rake marks in your customers carpet. They are great for loosening up “stuff” in the carpet before you vacuum. And perfect for “grooming” the swirl marks out after you’re done with the VLM cleaning process
2. These rakes are rugged & reliable. I’ve never actually broken one of these rakes, even after 5 years of use
3. They are under $25, so you can buy 2 and keep an extra on hand

Go out and grab a Grandi Groom today. Grab 2 so you have an extra on hand. (It’s really helpful for big jobs to have 2 people raking at the end)

Next time we chat, I’ll tell you about another important piece of equipment you’ll need for your new business.

Last time we talked about carpet rakes.

Reminder: I recommend the Grandi Groom carpet rake.

You can use your rake for a lot of things:
-Removing swirl marks after VLM cleaning << customers HATE swirl marks, so use a rake to “groom” the carpet to an even “finish”
-Spreading protector into the carpet fibers for a nice, even coat
-You can even use a carpet rake before you vacuum to loosen up hair, soil, and other “stuff.” It will make your vacuuming more effective

Go grab a Grandi Groom carpet rake today.

P.S. – I like to keep an extra rake on hand. Having 2 rakes means you can have 2 people raking on big jobs. Trust me – you’ll get tired after raking 7 rooms, 2 hallways, and 2 staircases (you’ll have big jobs like that soon enough!)

If you’re going to start a carpet cleaning business, you need a reliable floor buffer. That’s why I love the Oreck Orbiter.

Still on the fence about this buffer? Let me give you 3 reasons to buy one right now:

1. The Oreck is technically not a buffer. It’s an orbital machine. That means the Oreck Orbiter spins in circles and oscillates on its axis at the same time. That sounds pretty fancy, right? Well… it’ll get the carpets cleaner too!
2. The Orbiter is under $500. In fact, you can usually find them for under $350 if you look hard enough. That’s a low price for a powerful tool that can help you start a very profitable business
3. The Oreck Orbiter has a warranty. Depending on which model you buy, you’ll get a warranty between 1-10 years long. If your machine burns out (it will happen eventually, but probably not for a long time!), Oreck will replace the motor for you. That’s a big savings and nice peace of mind for any carpet cleaner

Go out and grab an Oreck. It’s the perfect buffer to get started with VLM.

And when you’re ready to upgrade to a larger buffer, try a 17” buffer like this one.
