I think you might find that the 80% of cleaners, who charge even less than £40 are too busy to spend time on forums.
There are a number of reasons why people charge lower than average prices for products , or services.
Where do you buy your weekly groceries ?
Who is your mobile phone supplier ?
Where do you get your printing done ?
etc, etc ?
There are regular postings on forums, about the cheapest suppliers, of just about everything, yet you condemn the same practice in cleaning services. Why ?
The majority of clients have been, price conditioned, by Asda, Tesco, etc and these are the clients being serviced by the people who charge less than the others, who target the M & S costomers.
What might shock some of the " I would'nt clean a suite for less than " £150 brigade, would be the earnings of these guys.
They are usually in their 20's and 30's and prepared to work extremely hard and long and they're average job value is probably around £60, because they get a couple of carpets to clean with each suite.
If you consider, that they probably average 5 - 6 jobs per day and a couple on Saturday, they are probably earning more than you and many others, who imagine themselves to be astute businessmen.
I know a fair number of them and I was there myself, years ago.
Hard work........................of course, but the suppliers love them and depend on them for the business they generate.
Still tickling
