What does GL cover for a carpet cleaner?

It covers third-party bodily injury, third-party property damage, and products/completed-operations claims. For example: over-wetting damages flooring, padding, or the unit below. It does not cover your own tools or vehicles, or employee injuries — those are covered by inland marine, commercial auto, and workers' comp.

How fast can a carpet cleaner get a Certificate of Insurance?

For eligible classes that bind online, you can download a COI within minutes of purchase — naming the specific GC, landlord, or venue that's requiring it. If your operation needs a specialist, an Arace agent turns certificates around fast.

Is a certificate of insurance the same as being insured?

No — a COI is proof of an active policy, not the coverage itself. You need a bound GL policy first; then we issue certificates (including additional-insured endorsements) to whoever your contract requires.
