Earnings Potential

A trained operator can clean up to 150 sq. yds. per hour. Charges are based on locality of job type, and range from 75p-£1.50 per sq. yd. Income can very easily be £500+ per week, and if you are prepared to employ staff, the potential profits could be huge! Over the years, Extracta have assisted hundred of people in the UK to establish and build up a successful carpet and upholstery cleaning business. Extracta Operators are from all walks of life; some previous occupations have included teachers, chefs, manual workers, firemen, office workers and miners.

This type of carpet and upholstery cleaning business has proven itself both successful and profitable. One of the main appeals is it's easy operation from home, without the need for expensive office and factory premises. Another reason is it's suitability to full or part-time operation.

Whatever you choose, Extracta Products will help you to establish your own successful business by offering you an extensive range of machines, accessories, chemicals, sales and marketing aids and training and advice. Start-up costs are minimal; often the initial outlay is recuperated within the first few weeks of trading. As there are no specialised skills involved, and with it's obvious suitability to one-man operation, many operators are generating income upwards of £30,000 per year.

The market for carpet and upholstery cleaning is currently enjoying major growth. This vast potential covers all aspects of residential and commercial applications, including; private homes, pubs, clubs, offices, hotels and shops. Because of the volume of users, and the need to create the right impression, most of the commercial premises must have regular cleaning of carpets, upholstery and fabrics. Hotels, pub and shops have a legal obligation to minimise dirt and maintain standards as well as the need to create a favourable impression for the creation of repeat business with their customers.

Just imagine a small to medium sized town of around 30,000 homes- that's 30,000 3-piece suites and an average of 180,000 carpets just waiting to be cleaned. A large percentage of growth experienced in recent years has been attributed to the recent recession - more householders are making efforts to prolong the life of their soft furnishings by having them professionally cleaned.
