Dexter Green
I own a pressure washing business in Central Florida, serving Orlando, Kissimmee, and St. Cloud. I was looking to add an additional service and came across your carpet cleaning videos on YouTube. I subscribed and watched multiple videos over a few weeks. The information you share is thorough, direct, and very informative.

I decided to move forward with carpet cleaning and enrolled in your training. This course gave me the confidence to offer this service to my current and future customers. What I love most is that I can go back to the modules anytime for help. The tools and techniques on SEO, Google Ads, ChatGPT, and more not only help me with carpet cleaning but also with my pressure washing business. I'm optimistic about growing this year and have now added VLM carpet cleaning to my services.

I researched equipment, visited a local janitorial supply store, and considered machines like Swirly and Challenger. But I followed your advice and went with the Hercules — it was more cost-effective and had free shipping. I still have work to do on my website, marketing, and social media, but I’m excited to launch in April!

Thank you for this AWESOME investment. I truly appreciate you sharing your craft.

Calvin
Tommy, I just wanted to say thank you for the carpet cleaning business class. The information you provide is priceless. I love being able to review lectures whenever it’s convenient, and you’re always adding new content. I also appreciate being able to call or email you for real advice.

I took another 2-day, 8-hour-per-day class in person and honestly didn’t learn nearly as much as I did from your course. Thanks for keeping it real.

Chris
I purchased your course — best money I’ve spent! The content is clear, well-organized, and easy to understand. You’re not just a teacher, you’re a coach — and a great one. Keep doing what you're doing. Peace! ✌

F&L Elite Cleaning
Just wanted to say thank you. I bought both courses a couple of months ago and keep going back to review them. It’s probably the best money anyone can spend — one job will pay for it. I love the videos and the course. Thanks again, Tommy!

Dereck Espinosa
As an experienced carpet cleaner, I was skeptical at first. But I’ve learned new things, and I appreciate that the course continues to grow. We’ve all spent $300 on dumber things. Tommy is also very responsive to questions via the course email. Get this course before the price goes up!

William Robinson
I finished the course — it was amazing! I’ll be going through it again to take notes. I've cleaned carpets for a company before, but you laid out a positive path for anyone, experienced or not.

W. Paul (Houston, TX)
After years of making others rich, I wanted a local business that let me be home every day. I remembered my time cleaning carpets in the ’90s and wanted to get back in. I found Tommy’s YouTube channel and soaked up everything. After my first job, I knew I needed more — so I signed up for the course.

From the first class to the extras, I was hooked. Tommy shares everything — from basics to advanced techniques — and continues to update the course for free. He goes above and beyond with support by text, email, and phone. If you want in this business, invest in yourself with this course.

Terry Gradney
I bought your course last year. I’ve been with a Chem-Dry franchise for 14 years and worked for another guy for 11 before that. I’m leaving the franchise this May, and your videos helped me figure out equipment and solutions. I bought the Mytee Vortex Lite and will be launching my website soon. Your content is legit and from the heart — no BS.

Spenser Ward
Tommy, I just wanted to thank you. I bought your program and loved it! I watch your YouTube videos religiously. Now I’m making $500, $600, even $800 days. I should’ve done this 10 years ago. If you’re ever in Kansas City, hit me up — I owe you a beer 🍻

Christopher A. Stacy
I took the Green Rhino course to learn before starting my carpet cleaning side hustle. The info on chemicals, pricing, websites, equipment — everything — is on point. I don’t regret it. I started with VLM and now make solid weekend income.

Richard Norton
I’ve taken other courses — this one is the best. It covers essential topics and offers great value. I refer to it while cleaning and recommend it to anyone starting out.

John Mondragon
Green Rhino Academy gave me all the knowledge to start my carpet cleaning business. Tommy teaches everything — from choosing equipment to setting up your website and getting leads. Highly recommend it to anyone unsure where to start.

John
The course gives extra, practical info that helps create a successful business.

Mike Fix
The course is awesome — highly recommend it before entering the industry. Tommy shares things you won’t learn anywhere else.

Leo Parreira
The course helped me structure my learning on a new topic. It gave me confidence to get started. Looking forward to learning even more with the extra content.

Wes W
Tommy’s course got me profitable quickly. Later, I took an IICRC class — it was overly complicated and full of product promotion. Tommy keeps it simple, clear, and no-nonsense.

I Thought It Was Over…

My name is Tommy, and at 48 years old, I thought my chance for real freedom had passed me by.

I'd been a machinist for 14 years, but I had always wanted to have my own business.

The problem was, I had no clue what to do.

And I didn’t realize it at the time, but working my 9-5 was actually the riskiest thing I could be doing.

Far riskier than starting my own service business.

Because one day... I got tapped on the shoulder.

"Sorry Tommy, we can't pay you anymore. The business is going under."

I had less than a week.

I either had to find another job ASAP or start my own service business full-time.

While working my job, I was doing carpet cleaning on the side with some cheap equipment I bought for extra cash.

But I didn’t think that I could actually pull the money I needed to feed a family with that.

So I looked at all these different online things and they were all pretty much just a scam.

I also quickly realized that they’re all hard, difficult, and you’re not even solving a REAL problem for people.

I realized that having a legit service based business was the ONLY way I was gonna make the money I needed.

So I went ALL IN on carpet cleaning.

Little did I know at the time, getting laid off was the best thing that could have ever happened to me…

because I started hustling harder than EVER.

The phone started ringing. Not enough to get rich yet, but enough to get by.

Then, once I figured out the business side (not just the cleaning), what started as a used truck mount made me over $1M and pushing.

I had NO CLUE about the opportunity there was in carpet cleaning until I got serious about it.

But there’s a reason most people fail when starting this business… 

The Best Service

Based Business… EVER 

See, I thought I was just doing carpet cleaning.

But what I found in it was the perfect thing for people who want to do one simple yet valuable job, and make a ton of money for it.

The perfect business model for people who genuinely want to:

1. Help people

2. Find fulfillment in their work

3. Don't have time to figure out an online scheme that will be outdated next week.

Think about it...

While everyone's chasing the latest online money dream that will get replaced by AI…

Trying to figure out crypto that could literally make you bankrupt…

Or starting a different service business that’s overly complicated and unenjoyable…

People cleaning carpet have been quietly building wealth for decades and nobody talks about it.

Why?

Because it's not sexy.

But here's what makes it perfect:
There's literally more work than there are people to do it.

All you have to do is become one of them that can fulfill this service.

We're talking about a $6.8 billion industry in the US alone that's projected to hit $3.93 billion globally by 2030

It’s actively growing at nearly 7% per year.

And due to a significant number of Americans suffering from dust allergies, there's a rising demand for your cleaning services constantly. 

Every house has carpet.

Every business has carpet.

And all of it needs cleaning 1-2 times per year minimum.

Here's the real kicker...

Most carpet cleaners do a terrible job while:

1. Charging rock-bottom prices

2. working themselves to death 

3. Never actually building a real business.

So what I did was figure out how to do the opposite of those three things…

I figured out how to:

1. Perfectly clean almost ANY carpet with just 3 of solutions

2. Charge premium prices for quality work

3. Build a legit business out of it.

You can charge $100-400 per hour for this service.

Why?

Because you're solving real problems that people can see and touch immediately.

But Why Carpet Cleaning?

Look, at this point you know service based businesses are the way to make real money.

And here’s the thing… they ALWAYS have been since the dawn of time.

But if you’re anything like I was, you’re thinking:

“But why carpet cleaning? What about HVAC? Power washing? Window Washing? Landscaping? Hell, what about plumbing or electrical work?”Most service businesses will work you to death before you ever see real money.

Let me break this down really quick. 

HVAC

• Months or years of expensive schooling and certifications
• Crawling through 120-degree attics and freezing in the winter
• One mistake and you’re flooding or burning down someone's house 

Power Washing

• Standing in 95-degree heat for 8 hours getting soaked by dirty water
• Can't work when it rains
• Heavy physical work that beats up your body

Window Washing

• Carrying 40-pound ladders and balancing on second-story ledges
• Weather kills your schedule
• Miss one streak and customers blast you online (goodbye to your reputation) 

Landscaping

• Oversaturated market with crews willing to work for $15/hour
• Seasonal slowdowns and weather constantly affecting income
• 12-hour days of heavy physical labor

The Easiest And Most Profitable Services Business

✅You work indoors - No scorching heat, freezing cold, or getting rained out. Climate-controlled comfort while you work.

✅Customers leave you alone - They literally leave the house while you work. No hovering, no micromanaging, no "helpful suggestions" every five minutes.

✅Simplicy - I use exactly 3 solutions for 95% of jobs. No toxic chemicals, no complex mixing, no certification needed. It’s dead simple.

✅No back problems - You're walking around pushing a machine. That's it. No crawling, climbing, or lifting anything heavier than your equipment.

✅Safe, reliable income - You’ll get recurring customers because carpet always needs cleaning. Once someone is happy with your work, chances are they’re booking you again in the next few months. 

✅You get PAID… a lot - The market is well underserved with low competition, which gives you the leverage to charge what you’re worth. 

✅Happy customers - Customers see the results immediately and they love you. No waiting weeks for grass to grow or systems to be installed. They see dirty water going down the drain and clean, fresh carpet underneath.

✅No employees required - The headache people talk about that comes with running a business? Forget about it. This business is run solo. 

The reason the people who start this make so much money is because of one thing:

Nobody is seeing the money there is to be made.

That's exactly why this opportunity is still wide open for you… 

But here's What 99% of People Get Wrong

The real secret is that 90% of your success will come from the business side of carpet cleaning, not the technical side of actually cleaning the carpet.

Most people focus on learning how to clean super well and completely ignore how to:

• Get customers consistently
• Price for maximum profit (not just to compete)
• Build a reputation that gets people calling YOU
• Turn one-time customers into lifetime customers 

That's why most carpet cleaning businesses fail.

They learn the cleaning part, but never learn how to build an actual business.

And I spent years figuring this out the hard way so you don't have to.

Let's Be Realisitc…

Look, this is not some get-rich-quick scheme obviously - it takes work.

But here's what I can promise you:

If you’re just working just weekends, you should easily make an extra $500 a week.

That's $24,000 extra per year. All from literally cleaning carpet. 

How would an extra $24,000 help your situation right now?

For me, when I first started, $500 extra a week felt like finding a pot of gold.

But once you take it full-time as an owner-operator, you can make $120,000-200,000 per year working maybe 4-5 hours a day.

The income is never really capped though, you can work as much as you want, and make as much as you want if you want to start hiring people and what not. 

Compare that to climbing the corporate ladder for 20 years hoping for a raise.

One of my students who used my system finished his first year in business and did $96,000.

Before, he'd never cleaned a carpet a day in his life.

Six months after starting, he quit his job to do it full-time.

I Started Teaching Others How to Build Their Own Carpet Cleaning Business...

In just the past few years, I've helped over 1,000 people start building profitable carpet cleaning businesses.

And here's what really gets me excited...

These are regular folks just like you:

• 48-year-old laid-off people like me who thought their best years were behind them
• Office workers sick and tired of looking at a screen all day 
• 17 year olds with ZERO carpet cleaning experience who started from scratch

But you're probably wondering…

“Tommy, I need to get this up and running now! How can I start making money ASAP?”

I’m about to give you what I WISH I had when starting out… 

I took everything I learned (and after making every mistake in the book) building my 6-figure carpet cleaning business...

And compressed it into a step-by-step program that will change your life forever if you follow it...

And here's the beautiful thing...

Most people still have NO IDEA how profitable carpet cleaning really is.

Which means...

There's still a MASSIVE opportunity for people who act fast.

Introducing...

Green Rhino Academy's Starting A Carpet Cleaning Business 101

EVERYTHING You Need To Build Your Own Profitable Carpet Cleaning Business And Start Making Real Money

My goal is simple:

I want to hand you the exact system I used to go from a laid-off machinist to running a thriving carpet cleaning business...

You’re Early To The Game… 

Look, like I said, people still have not seen the money that can be made with this business.

But here's what I didn't tell you...

Every day you wait, someone else in your area is discovering this opportunity.

Right now, you're ahead of 99% of people who have no clue about the goldmine sitting in the carpet cleaning industry.

But that advantage shrinks every single day you don’t start.

Here's the brutal reality:

The earlier you start, the less competition you face. Period.

And here's something that might surprise you...

The people around you are already waiting for someone like you to show up.

Your neighbors with stained carpets? They're hoping someone reliable will finally come along.

Your friend who's been putting off getting their carpets cleaned because they can't find anyone trustworthy? They're waiting for you.

But every week you delay starting this business, there's a chance someone else figures it out first.

Think about what's happening right now while you're reading this:

• Someone else might be buying their equipment
• Another person could be booking their first premium carpet cleaning job in your neighborhood
• A competitor might be claiming the Google search results that should be yours

I've seen people wait 6 months to "think about it" only to find out someone else started a carpet cleaning business two blocks away and has fully replaced their income.

Don't let analysis paralysis cost you your financial freedom.

Your future self is either going to thank you for acting today...

Or regret that you let someone else claim what should have been yours.

The people in your community need this service NOW.

The opportunity exists NOW.

The question is: Will you be the one to seize it?
