Congratulations on starting your business. Great videos as well. I started my cleaning company 8 years ago and also started out like you. I upgraded to the bissell big green from a Hoover Duel V extractor I've used for years. So big ups to you fam. Like the saying goes" you can never stop learning" the reason I found this video to help me get better results faster. Oh one more thing.. Do you just use clean hot water in the water tank while performing passes with the machine?
Preciate the kind words, Tonik! And yes, I just use straight hot water (as hot as I can get it) to extract. I allow the chemicals and agitation to do most of the work. Thanks again!
I started with an oreck orbiter, C4 walk behind carpet extractor and a Sandia Sniper carpet extractor. I use a bucket heater to heat water for the extractor.
I feel you, I’ve had that idea. But when you see the amount of work that goes into it and constant refilling, you quickly realize that you need something bigger if you want to start a business. Good luck!
My first company was a commercial cleaning company I ran a Groupon add for 150 for 3 rooms.. It sold like 70 jobs.. Groupon took half 😂.. I did all these jobs with a bissel.. Next I started doing sub work for Cintas ( cvs, Victoria secrets lots of retail. ) so I got a low speed and a ninja extractor Now we are a construction company and do SOME floor work. I use a mytee pro 17 bonnet ( encap) a cimex or a trinity.. I used to have a spray borg also.. I pre vac, pre spray and post vac if facility cannot do it. Great job getting starting .. enjoy the ride..
Need too give encapsulation cleaning a shot I’ve clean carpets for over 30 years over the years I’ve used pto’s regular slide ins to me cap cleaning for best results
I've been seeing alot of videos about it. I do light encap with a white and green pad and a 175. Pretty good results. I'm actually doing an encap job soon, and you know I'm gonna record it! Preciate the comment!
Always charge more than you think you should, then do a premium job. Remember this saying “we can do anything it’s just time and money’’ I would have made a lot more money in the early days, it sets the expectation that you’re not giving stuff away for free. They will pay. Don’t spend your money on new cars and crap that won’t make you more money, that time will come. Good luck.
@@greenrhinoproject I have a question...I have recently bought a bissel carpet cleaner the same as he has...do you think I will get sales cleaning with this machine? On your channel your more professional and use a steam cleaner.
@@jacket60fps50 If you can afford something better go with that but if all you have is that machine just go for it but absolutely do not settle with that like he is not either he’ll be upgrading it will take a lot longer for you to do jobs with that machine and leaves more moisture behind so definitely upgrade when you can I would start out with BLM get a oreck Oak orbitor or a 175 buffer then upgrade to hot water extraction if you want to
I do this, in México, unfortunatly is not easy to get the eqipment here as in the US, by the hay I recently bought a Rug Doctor Pro, but I see that all the profesional in US recomend the Big Green, anyway I' m satisfyed with Rugdoctor but I' d like ti compare with Big Green personal y, like your videos man!
Hey Miguel! You got this bro, as long as your chemistry is on point you can use any type of machine for getting the dirty water out of the carpet. Good luck!
I bought that Grand Slam a little earlier when I first started cleaning carpets. I eventually learned that chemical is best best with a hot water extraction machine. All I have is a Bissell big green so I bought the flex ice and citrisolv.
Matrix is a deordorizer. I actually shouldn’t have bought it because it’s made for truck mount carpet cleaners. Now it’s unfortunately collecting dust in my garage.
Congrats Bro on starting your business. Im trying to do the same thing in Texas. Do you have any contact info? I have a few questions if you don't mind.
Preciate ya bro! Don't even think about it, just jump in and get started. Make mistakes, under charge, over charge... Just gotta get out there bro. You got it 💪🏾
Hey Modified Cleaning Services, thanks for the message! I wouldn’t recommend using the bissell on hardwoods. There’s actually a channel on CZcams called Truman Hardwood Restoration, where he details how he cleans and reconditions hardwood floors. Check it out! Thanks again for the support!
Hey mike, I honestly don’t remember how much. That job was about two years ago. I think i charged a certain amount per square foot. I have a different pricing structure for residential vs commercial. Thanks for the comment!
If you have the funds, I would start off with a portable. Something like a 2002CS by Mytee. It’s a good machine with good reviews. Thanks for the comment!
Don’t quite understand what you’re saying, but I’m thinking you’re saying if I knew about encap at the time? I didn’t. I know a good deal about it now, and it definitely saved my ass a couple times.
This video is teaching me a lot about carpet cleaning
Thanks for that Andrew! Glad i was able to do that for you!
Bro, you the real OG! Keep it going!
You're of to a GREAT start. Keep your head up, stay focused and keep grinding.
Preciate those kind words! I gotta get it!
Hey man just wanted to say great video I'm starting out the same way thank you for the great advice and great video God bless
Thank you sir! Preciate the comment! Working on new content!
That's where I'm at with it. I love my bisell
It is a nice machine. I would also invest in a oreck orbiter machine. It helps with agitation. Good luck!

@@premiumdetails7574 the way you use this machine, this is the best video out there for someone just starting out.💯💯💯
I started with an oreck orbiter, C4 walk behind carpet extractor and a Sandia Sniper carpet extractor. I use a bucket heater to heat water for the extractor.
I need to look up that c4 walk behind. I’m saving up for a sandia carpet extractor for my car detailing. Preciate the comment!
I just got a Bissell big green for our living room area to clean, man I’m getting the idea 💡 🧐to start offering quick carpet cleaning services now.
I feel you, I’ve had that idea. But when you see the amount of work that goes into it and constant refilling, you quickly realize that you need something bigger if you want to start a business. Good luck!

Just add the Oreck orbiters and I have the exact set up. Same vac and hex sprayer and big green 🤣 You're even doing the stairs like me 🤣
Oh wow 😆 it's crazy because I recently bought an orbiter! They're good machines!

Is that matrix grand slam pretty safe on any type of carpet? And can it be used on upholstery?
I bought that Grand Slam a little earlier when I first started cleaning carpets. I eventually learned that chemical is best best with a hot water extraction machine. All I have is a Bissell big green so I bought the flex ice and citrisolv.
9:51 you saw a magic bullet blender just like my
how is it going?
Thank you
Good on you buddy! Hope it works out!
Thanks my guy!
What do you put inside the bissell machine the matrix grand slam?
Matrix is a deordorizer. I actually shouldn’t have bought it because it’s made for truck mount carpet cleaners. Now it’s unfortunately collecting dust in my garage.
ah the Bissell is coming towards us ah

Can you use this to clean hardwood floors

What is that stuff next to the yellow jog
It’s a deodorizer
hey bro, what do you use after passing the vacuum?
In this vid I used a basic carpet cleaner in my pump sprayer.
thanks, i'm starting my business and every idea is important! by the way! very good video@@premiumdetails7574
I appreciate your comment! Good luck to you!
How did you charge for a job like
Hey mike, I honestly don’t remember how much. That job was about two years ago. I think i charged a certain amount per square foot. I have a different pricing structure for residential vs commercial. Thanks for the comment!
My uncle tells me
People won’t take me seriously
I have this machine. I really don’t wanna make 20 buckd a job
No more is it a good investment ?
If you have the funds, I would start off with a portable. Something like a 2002CS by Mytee. It’s a good machine with good reviews. Thanks for the comment!
It's fine and it's good for upstairs when you don't want to pull a 100 lb machine up and as a back up.
@@pjo1964 yeah I hate it carrying a full size machine filled with dirty water down chicago apartments is not the best thing in the world
Damn! That sounds brutal!
You wouldn't of known however a endcap product would OK f worked.
Don’t quite understand what you’re saying, but I’m thinking you’re saying if I knew about encap at the time? I didn’t. I know a good deal about it now, and it definitely saved my ass a couple times.
