Zaras for Carpet Cleaning

April is the quietest month of the year. It is also the one everybody advertises.

Move-out turns, repairs that are not cleans, and a return date that comes off the record.

Spring is the trough.

The trade’s own federal series puts the year’s low in April and its high in August — with January already sitting above the April floor — so the seasonal push the whole industry sells every April is pointing at the wrong month. The curve tracks the household instead: move-outs through summer, a peak before the school year, and a lift through the weeks when people have guests. The year is fairly level overall; what matters is which month is lowest.

What carries visit to visit: the room history the treatment the last date.

One week in August. Three jobs, one record.

A three-unit turn photographed room by room, a restretch priced as the repair it is, and a return visit prompted off its own history — three different jobs, one operating record.

The turn board and the return clock.

Carpet money comes from two engines: the turns that arrive on somebody else’s deadline, and the returns that arrive because you recorded them. The turn board fills this week; the return clock fills next quarter — only one of them is yours to control. Zaras runs both from the same record.

Call → walk → clean → record → paid — every visit, one record.

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

Plans and prices are public on the pricing page — no sales call to get a number.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Invoices and payments flow straight into QuickBooks — no double entry, no bookkeeper fights.

What happens to my data?

It’s yours, both directions. Customers, room histories, and last-visit dates come in with you when you join — and everything exports, any time.

Can it run commercial work?

Yes — property-manager and multi-site work with per-unit records and NET-terms billing lives on the same record as your residential book.

What size shop is this for?

Carpet cleaners running 1–40 crews — from an owner-operator to a multi-truck shop.

What does private beta mean?

We onboard a limited number of shops at a time. Request an invite, fit is reviewed within 24 hours with a reply either way, and accepted shops get guided onboarding — pricebook and customer list loaded with you, not dumped on you.
