Take Advantage of This Lucrative Business Opportunity. Be a DryMaster™ Authorized Affiliate.
There are over 126 million households in the United States, a large chunk of which are covered by beautiful yet hard-to-clean carpets. With many homeowners not up to the task of maintaining their carpets, cleaning is outsourced to professionals. In fact, the American carpet cleaning industry is a $4.8-billion market that continues to grow every year. Why?
Because cleaning is a job that never goes away.
On top of that, homeowners across the country lay more than 14 billion sq. feet of carpet, all of which needs regular cleaning. Starting a carpet cleaning business, therefore, is a lucrative venture.
Big players are rare in this industry. Carpet cleaning is dominated by 40,000 small, independently owned businesses. The reason? About 80% of carpet cleaning customers are residential customers. They look specifically for local businesses that relate to their needs and offer a personal touch. There are also offices, motels, medical and dental clinics, spas, and other businesses with carpeted waiting rooms in need of regular cleaning.
As an aspiring businessperson, you’re in the perfect position to start a carpet cleaning business. Let’s take look at what you’ll gain when you become a DryMaster™ Authorized Affiliate.

Carpet Cleaning: The Business You Can Run From Your Home
Our affiliates enjoy a lot of perks on top of huge earnings (which we’ll discuss later). When you start a carpet cleaning business from home, you get to:
- Work from Home. You don’t need office space or warehouses. All you need is a safe, clean space where you can store your equipment. You can take time off whenever you want.
- Keep Your Job. You don’t have to quit your day job. You can just allocate a few hours of the week to do carpet cleaning. In fact, the owner of DryMaster™ Systems, Inc., Aaron Ovad, started carpet cleaning as a side business. Eventually, it paid more than his job did, so he left and dedicated his time to the business.
- Start with One Employee: You. One-man or -woman teams usually earn more profit because they don’t pay technicians. Some of our affiliates are also husband-and-wife tandems who keep all their profits.
A Steady Start: Building Your Business Plan
A business plan is the roadmap that keeps your business on track. A well-structured plan details how your business would operate and how you’re going to make it succeed.
Does it have to be long? No, it doesn’t. Corporations only produce lengthy, comprehensive business plans because they have to attract investors and convince lenders. You aren’t bogged down by that need. Your carpet cleaning business plan will be used mainly for strategy, budget, and metrics. A 5- to 10-page long plan should be fine.
These are the parts of your carpet cleaning business plan:
- Executive Summary – This is a short but complete description of your carpet cleaning venture. It details your target customers, the cleaning problems that they have, your DryMaster™ solutions, and your team.
- Business Opportunity – This section describes the carpet cleaning market in your area, including:

Initial Investment: How Much Do You Need to be a DryMaster™ Authorized Affiliate?
One of the perks of being a DryMaster™ Authorized Affiliate is the surprisingly low start-up cost of a carpet cleaning business. Since DryMaster™ is not a franchise, there’s no $50,000 – $150,000 franchise fee, an astronomical figure that’s typical of most franchise endeavors. There’s no licensing or monthly royalty fees either. You get to keep 100% of your profits.
DryMaster™ start-ups can cost anywhere from $2,030 to $12,595. This is very low, compared to the roughly $42,000 price tag of other carpet cleaning franchises.

The Return on Investment: How Much Will You Earn?
Carpet cleaning often has high profit margins (75–85%). You have a potential to earn $14,000 or more in a month.
One of the things that affect your earnings is your business structure. DryMaster™ affiliates can choose from three business models:
- You, the business owner, are the sole technician (the one who does the carpet cleaning).
- You employ one or more technicians, but you also provide carpet cleaning service.
- You employ technicians who do all the carpet cleaning.
Regardless of business model, a carpet cleaning business is a lucrative opportunity. If you’re the sole technician, you earn an even larger profit per machine.
Say you earn $980 per day (based on 2-4 jobs).
| Daily Earnings | Labor Cost | Profit (Earnings minus Labor Cost) | Weekly Profit (Profit * 5 days) | Monthly Profit (Weekly Profit * 4.3 weeks) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| With One Technician | $980 | $294 | $686 | $3,430 | $14,749 |
| You’re The Technician | $980 | 0 | $980 | $4,900 | $21,070 |
The best part is that DryMaster™ Authorized Affiliates enjoy a rate of repeat business of 97%. Our services are so trusted that 91% of our affiliates’ customer leads come from word of mouth or personal recommendations.
