Sergcel:


Not to be rude or discouraging, but do you have any experience in carpet cleaning? If not, why do want to start a business doing it?


Without experience, you may want to look at a franchise opportunity. Here are a couple of sites that you can go to for more information. Some of these franchises have low start up fees (but you will need to make sure that you have additional money to keep your business growing until it can pay for itself).

Nice business. You should first develop a business plan, I agree with the previous post.
And one more aspect. Nowadays many people, especially women, housewives, uses the Internet too much. So, it's a great opportunity for you to find clients.
You definitely need a website with your services descriptions and your contacts. You may take advantage of turnkey websites, they are not expensive. And once you payed for a website, you have a fully fuctional web pages. Check these web services for more info, for ex. http://www.site2you.com

Good luck!
