The Carpet Cleaning Industry Evolving! 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 WA choose to have their carpets cleaned on a regular basis due to this negative view.
Time has come for a change, with SCRIA and the Carpet Cleaning Association of WA (CCAWA) now in discussion as to how we can further professionalise the industry.
