Did you know that the average household carpet is 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat with about 200,000 bacteria per square inch?
For families with kids or pets, deep carpet cleaning is a big deal - especially in homes with crawling babies.
A clean carpet can contribute to health factors as well as just looking nice. This could be a major selling point for a lot of families.
You can offer a carpet steam cleaning, give them an option for stain removal, offer to clean under the furniture, or even offer a rug cleaning option.
Deep carpet cleaning is an easier upsell, because the vast majority of your clients won't have professional carpet cleaning lying around like you do.
Plus, their house won't truly look clean without a bright clean carpet to match it.
This service is great for delighting your clients.
Also, it makes them want to give you great reviews, because it totally changes the way their house looks.
Unlike the other services, this is a service they can’t do themselves.
After all, you have access to a professional carpet cleaner… and it’s very likely they don’t. Bank on that and sell it.
Tile cleaning: because a house isn’t clean until the floors are spotless!
While tile tends to be more sanitary than carpet, the tile grout still harbors bacteria it its pores.

Clean floors can contribute to many health factors, including bacteria and illnesses. This is a major pain point you can sell to your cleaning clients.

This is a HUGE upsell benefit you can lean on. YOU get to be the breath of fresh air for your clients.
You can personalize this service by offering customizable packages:
This is the perfect upsell for parents with young children, and you can sell this to them every time.

While you can upsell this service from any time of year, it’s specifically beneficial for the spring.
