Gents how much would you price up a 5 seater sofa corner unit???
Cheers

By how much I need to earn per hour

Similar to a 3pc suite. They can be tricky to work on due to size and weight but with only 2 ends and the rest standard seating positions they're not too bad

Hi guys,
£150 minimum.

Between £125 and £250 depending on condition, fabric, and construction. Maybe more if its really expensive stuff.
Some corner suites have no removable cushions which make them a very easy clean. others can have millions of bits and pieces with zips and all sorts which make life a nightmare. Most break in two with hooks in the corner join.

Steve,
The only price that matters is the price you want for the job.
If you have used the financial planning system I sent you, you should have been able to work out your break even point and the system will have shown you the sales required per day to reach that. Knowing that figure you can then decide how much profit you want to make on top of your break even hourly rate.

Do any of the cushions come off?
Fabric type?
Amount of soiling?
Reclines at either side?
Some are so easy to do it's embarrassing and visa versa, a few more bits of information would be advantageous.
I dry cleaned one today £275

What you use out of interest Shaun for dry cleaning 3 piece.

Perhaps a new topic should be raised re: Dry cleaning, but I find the general misinformation about it, interesting to say the least.
Going back more than 30 years when I started, there were many Cotton Velvet and Viscose Velvet suites. The only way to Safely clean these is by Dry Cleaning, ie: using solvent, either by machine or hand. I used to hand clean them, until it became obvious that this was not only very unhealthy, but also leaving a solvent wetted suite in someones house was not the best thing to do.
Today there is much talk and promotion about dry cleaning, when in fact some if not all the processes include the use of 'Water', either as a concentrate in the container, or diluted in a sprayer or machine solution tank. No matter how fast these methods dry, they are not Dry cleaning, they are wet cleaning. They get away with it because no one has yet challenged them on the issue, it costs money to do so.
Following the Trade Descriptions Act some 30 odd years ago, carpet cleaners had to refrain from calling 'Hot Water Extraction' method 'Steam Cleaning' as the only steam generated was from the hot water and not a cleaning method. Some still ignore this fact today.

I think I must be too expensive I would charge £220. £300 if they wanted it protected.

Craftex dry solvent cleaner, brushes and towels, in an ideal world I'd like to have used a machine that Paul Pearce used at Tacca which is the ultimate cleaner from US Products.
