If it was only this I was cleaning for customer ,I would charge tween £75/85. inc. depending on access and distance to travel. Simon

This is why i found carpet cleaning not profitable enough in my area.

No way would i get 75 quid for a mattress, probably 30-40 quid, which when you factor in 45 mins for job plus pack up and away, plus travel time and fuel, its pretty poor.

But still were very price conscious
