Title: chemdry pricing question
Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on May 24, 2005, 03:50:41 pm: What do CD charge for their platinum srvice carpet cleaning?

It cleans, protects and sanitises.

I appreciate that the price will vary, jsu wondered as AllergSTOP does more or less the same thing.

Hope some Chemdry members are not intimidated by this question.

Please PM me if you wish

What are you doing, finished at this time. Allerstop doesnt protect as well, does it.

Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on May 24, 2005, 09:58:51 pm: Thanks Mike, was it from a customer that had them round to quote and then had you?

I guess like all franchisees this will be slightly variable.

So why did she go with you and not CD then? Price, or something else?

Post by: paul@ctcs on May 25, 2005, 01:15:25 pm: No wonder some CD guys are struggling :o

£4.25 per square meter being there budget service and £6.10 for there premium cleaning, you would be better off buying new carpet !!!

You could have got a higher price as she was prepared to pay Chem Dry.

Post by: Mike Halliday on May 25, 2005, 02:09:09 pm: I never said I was cheaper than C/D, only that she chose me ;)

it was because I was the last person to quote, unless you're a heavy closer usually the last salesmen in comes out with the deal.

Post by: ABLECLEAN on May 26, 2005, 11:14:42 pm: I recently saw a CD quote and it stated that the minimum charge was £62.50. I also noticed on the American website that the cost was to clean exposed carpet. Does that mean they clean around the furniture? because it also states that they move certain items not all of them.

Post by: Ian Gourlay on May 27, 2005, 08:20:31 am: Cleaning exposed Carpet is an interesting concept
I had never thought about it until the other day.

I wonder how widespread it is.

Perhaps that is how you clean a three bed house in an hour and a half.

Post by: therapist on May 27, 2005, 04:55:27 pm: One of the advantages of cleaning with M/S and agitating with a suitable machine.

This means, you can feather into surrounding areas and offer, what can be perceived as, good value, to the client.

Hardly a new concept !
