the other last bit of advice would be put your customers on a 6 week cycle(subject for debate on this forum)
good luck bob
can i ask why 6 week not 4? 4 would seam easier to manage and wouldn't need as many customers there seams to be alot of different views on this subject and as I am about to start out the advice would be helpful cheers
Others may say different but I found that if you go for 4 weekly (or monthly), there will be a lot of customers who want two or even three monthly. However, if you offer 6 weekly, you won't get many wanting 12 weekly. Since I got a fuller workload I just tell people that I aim for 6 weekly but it may sometimes take 8 when busy or in shorter Winter days. So I just say 7 cleans a year.
