The Carpet Cleaning Industry to be Regulated?

The Carpet Cleaning Industry is on the Road to Regulation!

 

As you may know, the carpet cleaning industry is unregulated. Individuals can simply purchase equipment and operate as carpet cleaners without ANY formal training or being required to meet any standard. Well-intentioned but uninformed people in our industry, attaining mediocre cleaning outcomes, has resulted in the carpet cleaning industry being viewed negatively by the public at large.

Are you ready for the change?

As you know, the carpet cleaning industry is unregulated. Individuals can simply purchase equipment and operate as carpet cleaners without formal training or being required to meet any standard.

Well-intentioned but uninformed people in our industry, attaining mediocre cleaning outcomes, has resulted in the carpet cleaning industry being viewed negatively by the public at large. Being driven by price rather than quality has made it difficult for operators to survive.

According to research, it seems only 12% of home owners in NV choose to have their carpets cleaned on a regular basis due to this negative view.

Wouldn't it make sense for technicians to require licensing, since they are working on a very expensive component of your home, operating machinery in your home, and exposing themselves and you to insurance obilgations and risks? Maybe we should take up this matter with the Clark County Licensing Board, they certainly never pass up any opportunity to collect monies.

Would you feel better if you knew the individuals being invited into your home had been screened, licensed and bonded? Then ALL carpet cleaners would be conforming to Raysco Inc, standards.
