Title: Sofas, Sofas every where
Post by: woodman on February 19, 2004, 05:03:30 pm

What is it with this time of year ::)

I have to date 22 sofa and suite cleans booked in so far.

From the last week of Feb to the end of March (but not the 31st ;))


I hate cleaning furniture >:(

Hey Steve

I can beat that....suite cleans being offered in Leicester for £20.00

And I have still managed to clean more furniture than carpets this month.

A customer informed me today that there has been an article in one of the National newspapers about the total number of accidents that has risen alarmingly since wood floors became the fashion item...

so do we all sue Laurence Llewellan-Bowen then?

'It's an ill wind'.....as they say  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Cheers
Derek

Hi steve

what are you charging?

Think of it this way, he's welcome to the £45 customers
their cheap customers anyway who will dump him the minute he tries to raise his price by a fiver.

After all I would rather have 5 customers paying £145.00
than ten paying £45.00.

Excellent news Chris ;)

And makes our point wonderfully

Low price does not = good value

If someone has paid £3000 for leather suite they won't want Happy Harry's Cleaning Service from down the road cleaning it for £40.00.
They will EXPECT to pay good money for a quality service.

(all happy harry's on here this is not aimed at you ;D)

These Furniture cleans are obviously catching on as I'm the same at the moment. I also agree with Woodman that I don't enjoy doing them. :'(
had to larf today. ;D Whilst cleaning 2 x 2 seater sofas I had the husband,(Day off) wife, (expecting baby any day) and their 18 month old son who keeps calling my carpet machine "Naughty NOO NOO" :o (something to do with the 'Teletubbies' all sitting in the living room watching me from start to finish. Oh what bliss  :(

Now going to advertise as Childrens Party Entertainer on ebay ;D ;)
