« on: September 30, 2010, 02:52:22 pm »
Hi all,
Done my first day carpet & upholstery cleaning yesterday.
I all ready run a window cleaning round and this will tie in nicely.
I done 1st job  2 x 2 seater sofa's time taken                                              3 1/2 hours
           2nd job 1 bedroom carpet                                                                 1 hour
           3rd job two flats next to one another (both 2 bed + living/dinner)   3 hours
I sweated like something you wouldnt beleive!!! All my muscles ache but it was a good earner of day.
I hope I get more days like this...

cheers

"who gives a f%$k how fast someone cleans suites, quick, slow, 45 mins, 3 hours, £5 a seat, £50 a seat, as long as we're all making money and sleeping at night then you go girls."

I thought you didn`t ask those kind of questions mate, or you`ll upset the girls  ;)

Glad you enjoyed your first day. It will get quieter, busier, and less/more stressful. Bit like a rollercoaster. But then you are in control of what, and when you do it.

Well done thats a very full day they wont all be like that, but its a good way to start.

If you dont mind me saying you have been a member since 2008 according to you profile but the rest of you profile is blank you may find that your response rate may go up a bit if you are a bit more forthcoming about yourself, just an observation. :)

the reason i was that busy is I am currently stacking as many jobs into one day a week, I have tapped up alot of my window cleaning customers so I have a fair amount of carpet cleaning lined up.
I will be advertising in local rag soon, the website has pulled in a few enquiries.

well i made £300 which made the sweat and stress worth while.
the sofas I thought would take 2 hours how wrong was I .........
I had one problem which was with my prochem autodetailer the spray nozzle was constantly dripping whilst the tool was not in use any ideas?

Check your filter in the the tool....

Are you the guy who wanted to come out on a few jobs? Sorry I didn't get back in touch mate, it's been nuts of late, especially with the oven cleaning...

Good luck with the new venture, I'm sure we'll bump into each other, in fact, us Cornish based c/c's should have a Christmas do  :)

Neil47 would be up for it and Goron would too I reckon......!
