Ok just back from USA

Seen ad on a board stuck in the central area of road next to some traffic lights for all to see.

It read something like this

Truck Mounted Cleaning

3 carpets $25
Suite        $29

Now you get $1.5(approx) to £1....

I'll leave you to do the maths :o :o

The Yanks are very big on "up selling". I would seriously doubt that they do many at that price.

they are big on tips too.... and even at the customary 18% on top of that... its a bit boggling.. even to me!

Saw this when in Florida earlier this year.
A couple of days same van pulls up across road to clean between let's and Mexican guy jumps out.
I went over to check out what he was doing/using.
I offered to help as I was bored sitting by pool all day.
He gave me the job of prespraying with his Hydroforce.
FULL OF BLEACH
When I questioned its use he said "Olefin, Is OK!"
I left when my eyes started burning.
