Beginning A Mattress Cleaning And Sanitizing Business

Times are hard and getting harder and bosses are finding it difficult to keep staff on, which makes the likelihood of redundancy a very real; prospect for many people. One means to endeavor to secure some type of income is to begin your own small business from home, which is what many people are turning to.

If you are hoping to begin a business for yourself, you will doubtless have seen many offers of dealerships or franchises in the classifieds, so which one should you go for? The answer may be a mattress cleaning and sanitizing business.

Why am I proposing that you give this business idea some consideration? Well, I will lay out the basics of my case below.

More and more people, particularly the young have become sensitive to allergens. In other words, allergies are on the increase and the bed is one of the most common origins of these allergens along with carpets.

You see, all beds and all carpets are home to millions and millions of dust mites, which are minute creatures, imperceptible to the naked eye, that feed on bits of dead human and animal skin that we all cast off every day. These mites defecate and die and rot, both of which can be an irritant causing itchy skin, coughing and red eyes.

Then there are bed bugs. The incidence of bed bugs is increasing exponentially like no period for more than seventy years and the biggest challenge is in inner cities and hotels. Nobody wants to sleep where they think that there might be bed bugs.

People are keen to save money, so if they suspect that they have difficulties with their mattress, it is cheaper to clean and sanitize their present mattress than to purchase a new one. This is the case of private individuals but especially true of hotels with dozens or even hundreds of beds.

As human sensitivity to allergens and the incidence of bed bugs continues to rise, a business that offers to clean and sanitize mattresses can only expand.

You are doubtless new to the business of cleaning and sanitizing mattresses, so it would be best for you to buy a franchise from an existing company that knows precisely what you need to get the task done efficiently and at low cost.

The best thing about the equipment that you need to clean and sanitize mattresses is that it will work on carpets, curtains, pillows, upholstery and anything of that kind and it will not only deal with dust mites and bed bugs but also with infestations of fleas and ticks and various types of mold and bacteria.

You will need to do a lot more research if you like the idea of this business. Strive to find a supplier who will let you purchase the apparatus, not just rent it, and will supply promotional literature as well.

If the firm can supply leads as well that would be very useful to the beginner, but is not indispensable. The company must also provide training in the use of its mattress cleaning and sanitizing equipment
