Two types of carpet cleaning franchisee — both welcome

United Home Services carpet cleaning franchise works for two very different people:

  • Already in the carpet cleaning business? You have the equipment and the skills but you’re spending too much time finding work. As a UHS franchisee, we provide a steady flow of booked jobs allocated to your territory through our Opus job assignment platform. You focus on the work — we fill your schedule.
  • Starting from scratch? You don’t need prior carpet cleaning experience to start. UHS provides full practical training in hot water extraction technique, pre-treatment, stain removal, and pet odour treatment before you take on your first job.

Both paths lead to the same outcome: a sustainable, growing carpet cleaning business with predictable repeat income from residential clients across your allocated Melbourne or Victorian suburb territory.

Already carpet cleaning? Here’s what we solve for you

Running a carpet cleaning business independently means spending a significant portion of your time on things that aren’t cleaning: quoting, chasing leads, managing bookings, following up enquiries, and building a marketing presence. That’s time and money you’re not earning from.

As a UHS carpet cleaning franchisee, the customer acquisition and booking management is handled for you through our Opus job dispatch platform. Jobs are allocated to your territory, bookings are confirmed, and you receive the job details directly to your phone via the app. You bring your equipment and expertise — we bring the work.

  • Steady booked jobs allocated through Opus — no more chasing leads
  • Residential clients who book on a regular schedule — end of lease, spring cleans, annual maintenance
  • Flat monthly fee — not a percentage of revenue, so your margins stay yours as you grow
  • United Home Services brand and marketing working for you — without you funding it
  • Focus on the work, not the admin — don’t spend your time worrying about finding work, it comes to you.

What you get as a UHS carpet cleaning franchisee

  • Territory allocation — your own suburb area with residential carpet cleaning leads allocated directly
  • Full training — hot water extraction technique, pre-treatment, stain removal, and pet odour treatment
  • Opus work dispatch — leads sent directly to your mobile.
  • 90-day marketing plan — structured launch support to build your initial client base
  • Flat monthly fee — no percentage royalties, keep more of every job
  • United Home Services brand — established since 1995, recognised across Melbourne and Victoria
  • End of lease specialists — high-volume vacate cleaning demand allocated to your territory
  • NDIS carpet cleaning jobs — available through the same Opus platform

Carpet cleaning services you’ll deliver

UHS carpet cleaning franchisees use hot water extraction — the method recommended by most carpet manufacturers and expected by property managers for end-of-lease cleans. Jobs are allocated across residential property types throughout your territory.

  • Hot water extraction — residential homes, apartments, and townhouses
  • End of lease and vacate carpet cleaning — high demand, regular volume
  • Annual and seasonal carpet maintenance cleans
  • Pet odour and stain pre-treatment
  • Bedroom, living area, hallway, and staircase carpet cleaning
  • NDIS-funded carpet cleaning for eligible participants

End-of-lease carpet cleaning is one of the highest-volume, most consistent sources of carpet cleaning work in Melbourne — every rental property requires it, and demand runs year-round regardless of season.

What can you earn?

Carpet cleaning income is driven by job volume and efficiency. End-of-lease cleans are typically single-visit, higher-value jobs. Regular residential maintenance clients provide repeat income on an annual or biannual schedule. A full day of end-of-lease carpet cleaning across a Melbourne suburb territory can represent strong daily revenue for a single operator.

For existing carpet cleaning operators joining as UHS franchisees, the primary gain is volume — more jobs in your territory without the cost and time of self-generated leads. Your existing skills and equipment work harder with a full schedule behind them.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — carpet cleaning is an equipment-intensive service. You’ll need a professional hot water extraction machine and associated equipment. If you’re already operating, you’re set. If you’re starting fresh, we can provide guidance on the right equipment setup as part of your franchise onboarding.

Existing carpet cleaning operators join as UHS franchisees for their allocated territory. You continue operating your business but receive additional booked jobs through the Opus platform. The flat monthly fee replaces the time and cost of self-generated lead acquisition. Many existing operators find their schedule fills significantly within the first few months of joining.

The majority of allocated jobs are residential — houses, apartments, and townhouses across your territory. End-of-lease vacate cleans are a significant component given Melbourne’s high rental turnover. Regular annual maintenance clients and NDIS-funded carpet cleaning jobs are also available through the platform.

If you’re already in the industry, yes. If you’re starting fresh, United Home Services provides full practical training in hot water extraction technique, pre-treatment, stain and odour removal before you take on your first UHS job.
