If you are new to wfp cleaning, the time to clean it will take a lot longer than it will do when you are experienced.
Cleaning houses can take various times.
It depends on a lot of factors. For instance.
On 1st cleans it always takes longer because they are normally more dirtier than when you have cleaned them a few times, this also applies if you are transfering from a trad clean to a wfp clean, but this clean is not a long as a virgin clean.
When you clean a house the first time, you will take longer because of the lay-out of the house, you need to know if there are obsticles in the way, like plant pots, cars in the driveway, back gates locked, the hose is also a creature with a mind of its own, if its wants to gets snag on a brush or tree it will find a way of doing it. Where to park your car/van, once you get to know a customers house the faster you will become.
You also need to have the right type of hose, if you use the garden type, you will find that its catches on every thing where as the microbore seems to be better and this can increase the your cleaning times.
Now you wanted to know how long this house would take, if it was me who has had 4 years experenced on wfp, on a 1st clean including the conservatory and with the window and frames very dirty, I would expect it to take me 30 to 40 minutes, and when it has been clean a few times I could bring this time down to 15 minutes, providing they are cleaned every 4 week to 6 weeks, any over a 6 weekly clean will take longer, so charge accordingly.
Price wise, for a 1st clean I would charge £30.00 and then £15.00 every 4 weeks, £18.00 every 6 weeks and £30.00 for anything over this.
