It is really up to each person and the hours they decide they want to work. Of course there is no rules that you can't do both home and business carpet cleaning since the newer machines can handle the carpets of either a home or business.

One thing to take in consideration is that home owners usually don't have their carpets clean more then a couple of times per year so it might take a bigger cliental of home owners to reach the same profit as someone cleaning only a few offices. Office/businesses usually have their carpets clean much more frequently since there is more foot traffic in these places and they need to keep a nice, fresh appearance for their customers.
