Cleaning up in the cleaning up business – Jim Cabrera in Chicago, Illinois
Tagged: family, parents“Carpet cleaning may not be the most glamorous job, but I wanted to start a business that would demand repeat customers. So in 1979, I borrowed $5,000 from my parents and bought three industrial carpet cleaners and printed fliers with my name and phone number.
I went to all the supermarkets and malls in the Chicago area and put my fliers on telephone poles and car windshields. My first clients were mostly family members, but my price for everyone was the same: $20 a room.”
