Hello From PHX Arizona

We chose a franchise because we live in phoenix. For those that do not live in america, the population in phoenix arizona is HUGE. So it was either start from scratch and compete with everyother carpet cleaning company or go franchise. And the plus with franchise is that your promoting and advertising is already done. People already know to look for cleanpro in the phone book. And with cleanpro they refer us bussiness all the time. So it was guarenteed business. Not to mention chemdrys process didn't seem to be as powerfull as the cleanpro ion-exchange. But i don't want to sound like i'm plugging cleanpro just because we bought their franchise. It's just an oppinion

    Bonnet cleaning is the easiest and cheapest way to get into carpet cleaning. I don't know why anyone would go the franchise route...unless they know nothing about carpet cleaning? In my opinion the best bet is to learn the business through training and working for someone for a little while. I know people who started with a franchise and once they learn the business, they realize they made a mistake going the franchise route...you'll make a lot more money on your own.

Not saying you won't be successful...but with carpet cleaning YOU are the one that will make it in this business...customers work with YOU, not the franchise. Work hard, treat your customers right and you'll be successful.

Does Chem Dry still bonnet? I thought they were into HWE now?

So this is a bonnett cleaning franchise? Good luck with it. I'am sure you will do well. You shouls ask the questions before the purchase not after. But I am sure you did your homework before sigining on the dotted line?
