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.

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

The post Here’s Why I Love The Oreck Orbiter Floor Buffer For VLM Carpet Cleaning appeared first on VLMtraining.com.

In my last post, I told you how VLM carpet cleaners are using floor buffers to clean carpets. I also told you how VLM cleaners have a huge competitive advantage over steam cleaners.

That’s because VLM can be performed anywhere!

All of the equipment is portable, so VLM companies can clean carpets on the top floor of buildings that steam cleaners can only dream about.

VLM cleaners are using that advantage to start profitable businesses in cities across the United States (and elsewhere). Right under the noses of steam cleaners.

But VLM is NOT some revolutionary new idea… in fact, people have been cleaning carpets with floor buffers for decades.

You see, VLM is actually kind of an old school method.

With all the fancy new chemicals and buffers, VLM is having a real renaissance these days. New VLM cleaners are starting up in every city! I’ve personally helped 200+ people get into the VLM business.

But the truth is this: Oreck Orbiter floor buffers are probably the single biggest reason VLM is exploding so quickly in recent years.

This sub-$400 Oreck buffer allows everyday people like you and me to start a professional carpet cleaning business without dropping $20,000+ on a truckmount steam cleaning machine.

The Oreck Orbiter is the workhorse of the VLM industry…

Here are 3 reasons you should buy an Orbiter today:

1. It has a powerful motor that will get professional results
2. It can be used to clean stairs and tight spaces!
3. Oreck believes in these machines so much they provide a warranty on them. You can have your machine serviced at an Oreck store near you

P.S. – this is the most expensive piece of equipment I’m going to ask you to buy for your VLM carpet cleaning business. While most people can get $350-$500 to buy an Oreck, I understand that some people don’t have that kind of money.

You could use a credit card or “buy now, pay later” service like Paypal Credit or Affirm. But I recommend paying in cash up front. Don’t go into debt to start a new business!

With that said, I’ve watched plenty of people drop $500 on an Oreck and make $1000 in their 1st week of cleaning carpets. So you do the math…

The post What’s The Best Floor Buffer For VLM Carpet Cleaning? appeared first on VLMtraining.com.

At this point, you might be wondering “what’s the big difference between VLM and steam cleaning?”

Well, they are really just 2 different methods of carpet cleaning… but they use completely different equipment.

The biggest difference: VLM cleaners use a floor buffer.

If you’ve ever seen somebody clean carpets, chances are you saw them perform a “steam cleaning” job.

Steam cleaning involves a truckmount or portable machine that sprays hot, high pressure water into the carpet… and then sucks it back out with a “wand.” << this is NOT what I recommend

Low moisture cleaners spray a cleaning solution onto the carpet, then run a “floor buffer” or “floor machine” over the surface. The buffers scrubs the cleaning solution into the carpet fibers and cleans the carpet. << this is what I DO recommend.

By the way, there is a hidden benefit to doing VLM vs steam cleaning…

Do you know what it is?

Hint: truckmount steam cleaners can only reach as far as their hoses can reach!

That’s right – a steam cleaner has to run hoses from their van to their customer’s home. That’s fine if they can park in the driveway.

But what about apartment buildings? What about the 6th floor? What about downtown properties where parking is scarce? What about…

There are so many situations where steam cleaners can’t use their big, fancy truckmounts.

That’s a big advantage to you, the VLM cleaner, because you can bring your floor buffer anywhere. Heck, I’ve cleaned on the 26th floor many times!

Use that competitive advantage. Go after apartment buildings as clients. That’s a great place for new cleaners to get started anyways.

If you want to clean for commercial clients, VLM is a perfect match. You can clean any building, even the top floor, and the carpet will dry in about 1-2 hours! A steam cleaner will leave the carpet wet for 8+ hours. How many offices or businesses want to shut down for an entire day to let the carpets dry? (Hint: none!)

VLM carpet cleaning is a big money maker. And most carpet cleaners are too busy saving up for their $20,000 truckmount to realize VLM is taking over!

Okay… obviously if you want to start a VLM carpet cleaning business, you’re going to need a floor buffer.

Luckily, Oreck makes a 12” orbital buffer for under $400. You can find it here.

The Oreck Orbiter is the perfect machine to start your VLM carpet cleaning business because:

1. It has a powerful motor that will get professional results
2. It can be used to clean stairs and tight spaces!
3. It has a warranty, so you don’t need to worry about it breaking down right away

Over the last few years, I’ve watched hundreds of people start carpet cleaning businesses with the Oreck Orbiter buffer. That’s why I know it will work for you, too.

P.S. – If you have a bigger budget and want to get started on the right foot, consider upgrading to a 17” floor buffer like this one. This machine is much larger, but it will get you better results and cover more space quickly. Plus a bigger buffer makes you look more professional

P.P.S. – Even if you get the 17” floor buffer, you should consider buying the Oreck Orbiter, too. Remember how I said you can use it for stairs? Imagine having 1 technician cleaning stairs while the other cleans rooms and hallways. Twice the productivity!
