VLM = “very low moisture.” A buffer-and-pad method that cleans carpet with far less water than steam cleaning.
Equipment is only half of it…
Owning the gear doesn't tell you what to do inside a customer's home
Most beginners can buy a buffer and a sprayer. The nervous part is showing up at someone's door. If you're wondering any of these, you're normal—and this training answers them:
- ?What tools and chemicals do I need?
- ?What order should I follow?
- ?How do I approach stains and odors?
- ?What should I say to the customer?
- ?How do I finish the job and collect payment?

Who's The VLM Guy?
I keep my name and face off this site on purpose. Plenty of steam cleaners and legacy carpet cleaners aren't happy that I'm teaching this to anyone who wants to learn. They don't want the extra competition, and they really don't like people finding out you can get started with VLM for a fraction of what a truckmount costs.
So I stay anonymous and let the method speak for itself. I learned VLM by doing it, then taught it to my own crew. In my VLM carpet cleaning company I:
- Made over $1,100 in revenue per day, and my best days topped $2,000-$3,000 when commercial clients paid
- Grew the business past $200,000 in annual revenue
- Hired and trained a team
- Later sold the business
- Have since coached dozens of cleaning businesses using VLM

Questions
+Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. It was made for people who have never done a carpet cleaning job. Existing cleaners who want to learn or add VLM will also find it useful.
+What does VLM mean?
VLM stands for “very low moisture.” Instead of soaking carpet with hot water and extraction, you pre-spray a cleaning solution and agitate it with a floor buffer and absorbent pads, so carpets dry much faster.
+Do I need equipment before watching?
No. Many people watch first so they understand the job before buying anything.
+What equipment will I need to practice?
A vacuum, a pump sprayer, a VLM cleaning solution, a floor buffer, and cleaning pads/bonnets. Our free equipment & chemicals checklist lists everything.
+Does the price include equipment or chemicals?
No. The price covers the video training and the two bonus PDFs only.
+How long is the training?
Four video lessons, about 37 minutes in total. You can rewatch them any time.
+How do I access it?
After checkout you'll get an email with your login to the student area, where the lessons and PDFs live.
+Can I watch on my phone?
The lessons are online videos you watch in a web browser. We'll confirm exact device details before launch.
+How long do I have access?
Lifetime access to the course and bonuses.
+Does this teach business marketing?
No. The Blueprint teaches how to perform the cleaning job. Our separate Carpet Cleaning Profits course covers getting customers, pricing and growing the business. It's offered as an optional add-on after checkout.
+What if it isn't right for me?
Email info@vlmtraining.com within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you. See our refund policy.
