hi there,

whilst you can learn at courses, i strongly believe that getting your hands dirty on the job is the best source of learning, along with talking to people already in the business.

ive been in contract cleaning for over 5 years on sales and have given all that up to go self employed, and we are running to sides, our build clean side and special projects.

whilst the learning curve can be steep we are making a profit and getting repeat business, so we must be doing something right.

regards

martin

As a newbie been working in an office for X you are very ambitious and I like your tenacity my recommendation is contact BICS and learn how to clean and safely, I not saying that this is the bees knees but it a start!

What you are looking at is above the norm for a newbie and a lot more intense

FF side is more or less done by the franchise side of the business.

Carpet cleaning is one thing ff is another though they are closely linked, check out the courses with iicrc to get any headway you will probably have to do the bdma?
