Carpet Cleaning Franchisees Grow Business From the Ground Up!
Lakewood, CO (July 21, 2009) What’s the best way to start a new business when the economy has tanked? According to Jonathan Barnett, President of Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning®, a home-based franchise can provide a low-cost business with the benefits of a national brand and a proven system.
With this in mind, Entrepreneur Magazine, the industry’s leading resource for news about small business management and business opportunities, provided a list of the “101 Best Franchises to run from home,” in their June 2009 issue.
“Oxi Fresh was recognized by Entrepreneur as one of the top home-based franchises,” said Barnett, “because we offer an opportunity to own a business with an affordable cost of entry and also a low operating cost.” Oxi Fresh, which began franchising in 2006, already has over 100 franchise units in the U.S.
Because this business is home-based, the franchisee will save both the expense and the time involved in finding and buying or leasing prime real estate. In addition, the Oxi Fresh cleaning system is portable, meaning there is no expensive van to buy. “The less money you need to invest in a business,” says Barnett, “the less time it will take to make a profit. The total investment for an Oxi Fresh franchise is $27.9K and that includes our cleaning system, initial training, ongoing support and even a scheduling center to handle your appointments.”
The Oxi Fresh cleaning system is also eco-friendly. Instead of harsh chemicals, Oxi Fresh franchisees use a powerful oxygen-based cleaner that is safe for children and pets and better for the environment. Because no soap is involved, it leaves no sticky residue and the carpet dries quickly. But while it is gentle on your carpet, the Oxi Fresh cleaning system is tough on stains, leaving the carpet fresh, clean and looking like new.
“Even in a sluggish economy people need to have their carpets cleaned,” adds Barnett. “It rids the home of dust mites and allergens and extends the life of the carpet. Our ‘green’ cleaning system is the best choice for anyone concerned with home air quality. Our efficient, low-energy technology respects the environment.”
Additional services that can be offered by Oxi Fresh include cleaning of upholstery, tile, stone, grout, and grout sealing. Franchisees are awarded large, protected territories and powerful marketing tools so they can grow their business exponentially.

Air Duct Cleaning Done Right!
Information on different air duct cleaning methods
Power Vacuum/Air Sweep method:
Average equipment value being used to perform an air duct cleaning: $50,000.00-$150,000.00 worth of machinery and equipment
According to NAIMA this method of cleaning is the most thorough form of cleaning a ventilation or HVAC system to deliver the lowest particulate count exiting an HVAC system. Actual air studies by a reputable international organization, such as NAIMA, has conclusively proven that this in fact occurs in a ventilation system, which of coarse should be a no-brainer because if particulate matter was merely stuck to the sidewalls of ductwork and did not in fact circulate, then mechanical engineers would have never invented a furnace filter. How many HVAC service technicians have instructed you to never use a furnace filter? Probably, not too many, right? That is because it has been known for several decades that dirt, dust and debris will always circulate in a forced air ventilation system. Fortunately, most people are not completely unaware of this problem and have realized that occasional HVAC system cleaning can produce very good indoor air quality results when performed thoroughly and correctly.
Now that we logically know that forced air systems, which moves air in a ventilation system not only moves the air inside of the ductwork, but the fine micron particulate matter that science had previously proven existed floating around with that same air, we can get on to the various cleaning methods that tries to tackle the build up problem that time will cause in a forced air ventilation system.
A raging debate between various companies world-wide tries to advertise and endorse their methods of cleaning to convince a consumer and potential customer that their method of cleaning is superior. Rather than writing a very obvious slanted article, I realized that simply stating what the advantages and disadvantages of each cleaning method is, would allow the consumer or potential customer to decide for themselves as to which cleaning method would best serve them. Yes, I can admit that every cleaning method has a clear advantage and disadvantage. Although I would love to make every consumer and or potential customer our customer, the reality is that many factors affect where a consumer or potential customer turns to for their indoor air quality needs.
Power Vacuum/Air Sweep method:
Average equipment value being used to perform an air duct cleaning: $50,000.00-$150,000.00 worth of machinery and equipment.
This method of cleaning is the most expensive, thorough and risky form of cleaning out there. The machinery can cost anywhere from $50,000.00- $150,000.00. The cost to operate is higher and if the technicians are not properly trained the risk of dusting out a house or breaking something in the house is greater.
The power vacuum/air sweep method involves a powerful large diameter vacuum hose generally ranging in diameter from 8”-12” that moves anywhere from 3000 CFM – 26,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of negative air draw depending on the type of power vacuum machinery being used. Typically speaking, having power vacuum machines that moves anymore that 10,000 CFM is foolish, considering the fact that all ductwork is rated for a set amount of CFM based on the size of the ductwork through external static pressure ratings, velocity and ambience. I do have to admit that the more power a vacuum has, the cooler it is to witness, though.
The power vacuum hose is typically installed into the ductwork via a circle cut out which allows for the power vacuum to put the entire side of the ductwork under a complete and sound vacuum draw. By doing so, every vent attached to the ductwork will have a centrally created vacuum present for proper system containment. From there, various mechanical brushes are sent down the rounds to break and push all debris down to where the power vacuum is sucking. Afterwards compressed air ranging from 150 psi – 250 psi air washes anything left by the brushes, to thoroughly and completely clean the round. Once all of the supply/heat pipes are cleaned a variety of different brushes, air whips and blow back jetters are employed to source remove all of the bulk matter back towards the power vacuum. This method of cleaning is superior for actually ridding the ductwork of all loose contamination because there is typically no cleaning obstacles presented by the ductwork that the self propelled mechanical and air tools can’t over come, as well as the fact that the sheer power of the vacuums not only effectively keeps all the debris contained, but has enough power to pull this debris out of the system.
Advantage:
Most thorough mode of cleaning where a positive effect such as increased HVAC system efficiency is realized, increased airflow from supply rounds is realized, less HVAC equipment parts failure is realized (or increased part lifespan occurs) elimination of foul odors presented by isolated incidents where dead animals are presented, animal liquid & solid excretions occur and odor emitting mold/mildew and bacteria occurs and in some cases dust reductions are noticed depending on the amount of contamination that is present in a ventilation system. After this method of cleaning is performed, assuming that the occupant maintains that furnace filter I previously mentioned to manufacturer recommendations, then cleanings may only need to be performed every 3-4 years or even longer if you invest in a high media filter unit.
Disadvantage:
This method of cleaning takes longer, the machinery costs more, which means you are charged more than what most contact cleaning companies would charge you. If the company does not adequately train their personnel to perform this cleaning method, then the risk of mishap is greater than a contact cleaning company due to the overwhelming power engaged into the ventilation or HVAC system cleaning project. This cleaning process is a louder process due to using effective and powerful machinery.
Contact Cleaning Method:
Average equipment value being used to perform an air duct cleaning: $500.00-$4,000.00 worth of machinery or equipment.
This method of cleaning is the safest form of cleaning in ensuring a reduced amount of mishaps and or errors at a jobsite occurs. Typically speaking, a company will use a glorified shop vac, various carpet cleaning hose attachments in conjunction with carpet cleaning machinery and or even a glorified shop vac with a spinning brush. Most contact cleaning companies will spend 30 minutes to 2 hours in attempting to reach as much ductwork that a person is physically able to reach. A small minority of contact cleaning companies will even make a good go at it and will spend up to 8 hours at an average residential jobsite. It is even fair to say that if a contact cleaning company spent all day, if the ductwork was completely exposed and if the ductwork was small enough, a contact cleaning company could technically perform a thorough job if the technician was motivated to perform a thorough job.
Advantage:
The contact cleaning method of air duct cleaning is usually more affordable in price for the consumer/customer because the equipment is so cheap. The contact cleaning method of air duct cleaning is a safer form of cleaning in ensuring that less mishap and errors occur during a job or project because not much agitation of dirt, dust and debris is being made. Contact cleaning machinery is usually not as loud as power vacuum machinery.
Disadvantage:
The contact cleaning method of air duct cleaning is very limited in what dirt, dust and debris is actually pulled out of a ventilation and or HVAC system. 2” diameter vacuum hoses cannot suck up 3” diameter beer cans or soda pop cans. Due to the laws of physics in that a 2” diameter vacuum hose leaves behind all large diameter items, no airflow improvement is ever realized after the service is performed. Clumsy shop vac hoses usually cannot effectively clean through most furnaces burners, hence the ash, dirt, carbon and dust that can be found in these burners typically stay in the burners. This results in no efficiency improvement when cleaning out the burners, because the shop vac hose could not fit inside of the burners to properly clean it as compressed air or nitrogen can. Most ventilation and or HVAC systems have portions of ductwork that is not easily accessible due to portions of the ductwork being drywall finished around. Should this be the case at any given jobsite, a consumer and or customer must realize that a large portion of ductwork will not be cleaned as a result when the contact cleaning method of air duct cleaning is employed. Typically a shop vac hose can only reach up to 15’ before the hose just curls up. Some trunk lines may stretch out to over 100’ in distance, which means 15’ would be cleaned and 85’ would go untouched. In ductwork rounds the shop vac hose can usually only reach up to 2 ½ ‘ before the shop vac hose gets stuck. 90 degree turns will almost always make the shop vac end its descent in cleaning down a pipe because the shop vac hose cannot be turned without physical intervention. A greater risk of disconnecting pipes occurs due to the physical nature of the contact cleaning method. Also if any home security wiring, telephone wires or low voltage wiring is ever present in the ductwork, the physical nature of the contact cleaning method in air duct cleaning will increase the chances in breaking such wires, whereas air washing will not compromise such wires in any shape way or form. Most contact cleaning companies will recommend that you should have your air ducts cleaned out every year or two, because they know they left enough debris in the ductwork to try to get at it again in a year or two.
Well there you have it folks. Both common methods in air duct cleaning really do have advantages and disadvantages. I attempted to write this article as fair and balanced as I could using as many facts based on past experiences that I have experienced in performing over 10,000 residential and over 2000 commercial air duct cleanings using both methods of cleaning. Based on my past experiences the advantages and disadvantages in both methods of air duct cleaning that I wrote about are very much so true in my experiences. There are many different cleaning machines and tools out there, which means’ that the chore in selecting a thorough air duct cleaner, can be daunting. I must say that experienced technicians in performing an air duct cleaning service can go along way, especially when a company is committed in investing in the more expensive forms of machinery and specialized tools as Lucky Duct, LLC is. In fact our least experienced technician that would show up to your home or office has 3000 + residential air duct cleanings and 850 commercial air duct cleanings performed. Lucky Duct, LLC strives to take better care of our people in pay and benefits than most other companies which is why we have been so fortunate in attracting some of the best tech’s out there. Cool machines and tools help, but experienced people can really make the difference in a project result as well.

Bissell Carpet Cleaners
Using a Portable Carpet Cleaning Machine Can Help you Clean Hard to Get to Spots
The question you need to ask is what is the best way to really clean carpets at home and which is the best home carpet steam cleaner. One thing that immediately strikes you is that the home carpet steam cleaning equipment takes up a whole lot of storage space, and rentals are cumbersome.
Before deciding upon a home carpet steam cleaner, you should consider how it will perform on carpets and upholstery, convenience of operation, running time as well as its features. Home carpet steam cleaners such as Hoover and Electrolux are middle of the road types and do not score very highly according to experts.
However, the Hoover V2 is easy to use and takes smaller amounts of time to clean than other machines do. The Hoover Steam Vac V2 is also impressive in that it can suck out huge quantities of dirt from the carpet. This is the best choice in deep cleaning vacuum and has a broad cleaning path that spans 14 inches and also has an auto rinse feature.
It can spray as well as brush with detergent solution when it is pushed and automatically rinses when the motion is reversed. The result is that it will leave the carpet drier so one does not have to wait too long before walking on the carpet, again.
Other Options To Look For
Other home carpet steam cleaners that stand out are Bissell 7920 Proheat Protech and the Dirt Devil 4200WP. The Bissell SpotLifter is a small portable carpet cleaner though some say that it is not very durable. It is cheaper and can be used in the car or on the stairs. No matter what, the idea is to keep the air clean and this means a healthier and better way of living and a portable home carpet steam cleaner would effect just such a situation by destroying the impurities and allergens like the dust mites and help to freshen up the air in the house.
The home carpet steam cleaner will help sanitize each and every part of the house since steam cleaners are able to easily handle very hard to clean spots and are also lightweight and easy to use. One should use a portable home carpet steam cleaner that does not use chemicals and thus ensure that the environment is kept clean and safe.

Shampoo Carpet Cleaning
iv got a carpet cleaner its a VAX 1 and i use the VAX shampoo but i find it don’t clean my carpet what shampoo
is best or what cleaner works better
It depends if you are trying to get stains out or just a general cleaning. I mix up oxyclean and water and put in mine, for a general clean. For stains I treat the stain with SpotShot, get the stain out first then clean. I have used Bistol cleaner and it is ok but it gives me sever headaches.

Carpet Cleaners Reviews
The Hoover Carpet Cleaner – Designed for a Deep Down Clean
Kids and pets can wreak havoc on your carpets. Dirty foot and paw prints, hair, spilled drinks and food, and those bathroom accidents all add up and before you know it your carpet just doesn’t look like it used to. Keeping it clean isn’t that hard if you have a Hoover carpet cleaner handy.
The SteamVac line of Hoover carpet cleaners are rated some of the best on consumer review and shopping sites. It is generally agreed that for the price these steam cleaners offer a great value and will get the job done.
Well designed and constructed this line of carpet cleaners is easy to use for the task at hand. Let’s take a look at how its design features lead to such an exceptional cleaning value.
There are two on-board reservoirs in a stacked configuration. The top reservoir is divided into a larger chamber for hot water and a smaller chamber for the carpet shampoo. The lower reservoir is where the dirty water that is sucked out of the carpet goes. Both reservoirs are easy to remove, empty/fill, and return to their spots on-board.
The real cleaning takes place underneath the machine. As the hot water/soap mixture get sprayed onto the carpet the Hoover SpinScrub brushes spin in alternating directions to deep clean your carpet 360 degrees. Grungy high traffic areas and pet stains stand little chance against this type of cleaning power.
The upholstery attachment includes a long hose and two rotary brushes. This allows you to clean your furniture upholstery and car interior quickly and easily. The handle houses all the controls and includes the ability to apply a water/soap mixture or just a rinse function which allows you to rinse your carpet with water only.
The Hoover carpet cleaner offers a great value for those who need to clean their carpets regularly. Renting machines or having it professionally done can get expensive, so why not have a machine at your disposal when and where you need it.

I have deep carpet stain, not even stanley steamer can get them out or any other carpet companies, any idea?
Looking for any home remedies or products to buy, for deep carpet stains, I have tried everything from real expensive carpet cleaning products to just laundry detergent, and etc. I have had professions come to clean carpet, like stanley steamers and other carpet cleaning companies, the carpet look good for a week or two, then the stains come right back. If anyone has any ideas, or methods they know that work I would appreciate any ideas, because even spilled water would leave a spot on my carpet, I am trying to find solutions, before I have to replace 3800 sq ft. of carpet.
The enzyme cleaners your first answerer talks about are great. I’m not certain if you have a re-appearing stain that you can’t get rid of, i.e., soaking back thru from underneath or just carpet that shows dirt readily. I’ll pass on my trick for cleaning carpet in general but try the enzyme cleaners if you have a really difficult problem.
Best Answer – Chosen By Voters
OK…I’m about to go way out on a limb here. Don’t use steam cleaners. Try this. Test all chemicals on that inconspicuous spot we all have first*. Go to your local Oreck dealer and rent their orbital machine with nylon brush and plain bonnet. I prefer a worn brush over a new one. While your there, purchase enough of their Dry Carpet Cleaner powder. Back home, vacuum thoroughly then vacuum again. Mix a 80-20 mixture of household hydrogen peroxide-orange clean in a spray bottle (no! it won’t bleach your carpet*) and “mist” an area say 6 feet square. Run the buffer over this area. Use either the plain bonnet or the brush depending on the rug. Go over the area well. Sprinkle the Oreck powder over the area and run the buffer again. You may have to repeat both steps if things are really dirty. Move on to a new “dirty” area and repeat process until your done. When all is dry, vacuum. Keep the powder, spray mix and a brush for spot cleaning later.
I have used this process several times on three different types of carpet, one wool, two synthetic. It probably costs more than the grocery store steam cleaners but a lot less than Stanley. I figure about $150 for 2100 sq feet. Single biggest benefit is that you can be back on your clean carpet within an hour if you don’t overdo the spray. Further, there is no pad or under layment saturation. Since no detergent was used, your carpets will stay cleaner, longer. Hardest part will be locating a buffer if you don’t have an Oreck dealer close. This is a fairly heavy unit with a 10″-12″ head, not one of those serious, industrial machines for high school hallways. Sears also sells a dry cleaning powder product but I’ve never used it.
I’ve never been disappointed with the results.
I do not now nor have I ever worked for Oreck. Your results may vary. Please test that spot before you start and test run the buffer. I have never “ripped up” carpet but I am careful around seams.
My method will not soak the carpet pad, the hardwood or call for some exotic extraction device. You don’t need to saturate the carpet. A nice mist, repeated as necessary. The powder absorbs a great deal of the moisture along with residual dirt. That’s its purpose.
Carpet Cleaning Machines
How to Find Carpet Cleaning Machines
If it’s that time again and you must clean your carpets you will need a carpet cleaner. It isn’t necessary to own your carpet shampooing machines for the amount of times that you have to get your carpets deeply cleaned. You can rent a machine for a few times a year and keep your regular carpet cleaning accomplished with the foam cleaners you find in the grocery store.
Carpet shampoo machines can usually be found in a hardware store and some grocery stores. They will allow you to bring the heavy duty cleaner home for a certain period of time and you pay a rental fee. This is the best way to get your carpets cleaned a few times a year without having to pay the expense of buying carpet shampoo machines.
You can keep your carpet in good shape in between cleanings by making sure that you regularly vacuum and clean it with a good quality foam cleaner every other week or so. If you have small children you might need to perform your foam cleaning more often than that. Children tend to have spills and track food into the rooms with the carpet, so it is important to keep things vacuumed up and clean. In fact, if there are children in the home you will have to sweep and vacuum a few times a day to keep up with the little crumb droppers.
Your home can look wonderful if you take the time to attend to your daily chores and regular maintenance of your carpets and upholstery. You will have to plan regular cleanings a few times a year with a heavy-duty carpet cleaning machine. Most of these machines will have attachments that will allow you to take care of the upholstery at the same time.
Check your local grocery stores and hardware stores for carpet shampoo machines. If you don’t find them in those outlets, try a rental store that specializes in renting equipment. Try online to find the resources in your local area for these machines. You should be able to find one in your town. If you plan to do your carpet cleaning more frequently then you might want to invest in a carpet shampoo machine. They can be costly, but for those who will be using the machine frequently, they are a good investment. You will save the rental fees and might find that the machine pays for itself in a relatively short period of time, depending on the frequency that you use it.
