Why Carpet Cleaning vs Other Service Businesses?

Most service businesses will work you to death before you ever see real money.

HVAC

  • Months of expensive schooling
  • Crawling through 120-degree attics
  • One mistake = flooding or fire

Power Washing

  • 95-degree heat for 8 hours
  • Can't work when it rains
  • Heavy physical work

Window Washing

  • 40-pound ladders
  • Balancing on ledges
  • Weather kills your schedule

Landscaping

  • Oversaturated market
  • Seasonal slowdowns
  • 12-hour days of heavy labor

Carpet cleaning: Work indoors, customers leave you alone, use 3 simple solutions, no back problems, recurring income, charge $100-400/hour, and run solo.

My Story: From Laid Off to $1M+ Business

My Story - Green Rhino Academy

At 48, I got laid off from my machinist job with less than a week's notice. I had no degree, no savings, and no backup plan — just a $1,600 carpet cleaning machine I'd been using on the side.

I went ALL IN on carpet cleaning because I realized service-based businesses were the only way to make real money. What started as a used truck mount turned into over $1M in sales.

Getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me. Now I help others build the same freedom.

But Here's What 99% of People Get Wrong

The real secret: 90% of your success comes from the business side, not the cleaning itself.

Most people focus on cleaning well but ignore:

  • Getting customers consistently
  • Pricing for maximum profit
  • Building a reputation that gets people calling YOU
  • Turning one-time customers into lifetime customers

That's why most carpet cleaning businesses fail. They learn cleaning but never learn how to build an actual business.

Let's Be Realistic

This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme — it takes work. But here's what I can promise:

Working just weekends: easily make an extra $500/week = $24,000/year.

Full-time as an owner-operator: $120,000-200,000/year working 4-5 hours a day.

One of my students did $96,000 in his first year. Six months after starting, he quit his job to do it full-time.

Is This Program Right For You?

This is for you if you:

  • Want control over your time and income
  • Are ready to put in real work for real rewards
  • Can invest in proper tools and training
  • Are serious about building something that lasts

It's not for you if you:

  • Want passive income without effort
  • Aren't ready to follow proven steps
  • Expect success without taking action

FAQ

Do I need experience?

Nope. Most of our students had none. If you can load a dishwasher, you can learn to clean carpets.

What's the minimum investment?

You can start with equipment around $1,600.

How fast can I start earning?

Some students book their first job in 2–3 weeks. Many earn back their course cost from their first job.

Is demand really there?

Absolutely. Just one $300 job a day, five days a week = $72K/year.

Student Testimonials

Spenser Ward

"Tommy, I just wanted to thank you. I bought your program and loved it! Now I'm making $500, $600, even $800 days. I should've done this 10 years ago."

W. Paul (Houston, TX)

"After years of making others rich, I wanted a local business that let me be home every day. Tommy shares everything from basics to advanced techniques and continues to update the course for free."

Dexter Green

"I own a pressure washing business in Central Florida. I was looking to add an additional service and came across your carpet cleaning videos on YouTube. The information you share is thorough, direct, and very informative. 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."

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."

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."

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."

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. Tommy is also very responsive to questions via the course email. Get this course before the price goes up!"

Terry Gradney

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."
