Title: Pub carpets drying etc
Post by: Joe W Brown on May 09, 2013, 10:47:34 am: Just about to go quote for 2 pub carpets, 1 around the bar and the other bar area and restaurant.

The landlady needs one of them dry in 2-3 hours if I clean at night. I have no air mover. Would this be possible with a double vac using my Airflex Storm?

If not can air movers be rented?

Also what would be a fair price per square meter? I could really do with securing these jobs as its been a very quiet few months.

you can hire air movers joe but you do that twice and you could have bought one second hand . put an add in the wanted/for sale section someone might have one or call a fellow local carpet cleaner and ask to borrow one. is it not possible to low moisture clean the carpet that must be dry in 2 hours if it's not too manky. only u can decide the price mate . I work out how long it's going to take roughly so the price is what I want to earn an hour but with a bit for the business added on top . I hope that helps u mate ..

ps joe ... could you e mail me the name of the person on fiverr who done your website video . there's loads of them that do it but the music on yours is wicked. cheers mate . thecleaningbloke@live.co.uk

One tip is to use plenty of odour fresh in your tank the first impression the landlady will get is a nice fresh smell.

Yours
