You get "well your only cleaning it" - they dont realise the labour costs, chemicals expended, business running costs etc etc

How can we educate them?
This is something the NNCA should be doing on a National level.

Some people think they can have three large blinds supplied and fitted for £99. ::) ::) ::) ::)
