Maybe you are looking to do your own carpet cleaning business and do not know what kind of machines are appropriate for this type of business and if so, do not worry (I was the same when I started)
The first thing you have to know and that you have already realized is that there are many types of machines, you have already heard of the portable and the mentioned “dry cleaning” and among others.
I will give you a list that under my own experience are the best in the market to give a good service to your customers, this also has to do with your budget since I will give you the list of the best machines.

I will talk about the commercial machines since these are the best for this type of work.
There are also portable machines but for the moment I will mention more professional machines.
