Carpet cleaners specialize in cleaning home and commercial carpets, area rugs, and floors. They meet with customers to understand their needs, perform a pre-cleaning inspection to determine the best cleaning solutions, upsell carpet cleaning services, move furniture, and use a combination of hand tools and carpet cleaning equipment to get the job done. They must follow all safety regulations at every job site and ensure a high-quality experience for every customer. Carpet cleaners can be full-time, or part-time with flexible hours.
