double besroom berber, quite heavily soiled, stairs and landing, lightly soiled.
3 hours to complete
Vacuum, prespray, aggitate, dwell, extract,
I wasnt happy with the results on berber, ok landing and stairs. There was a little furniture to move in bedroom.
I just seemed to be so disorganised, running up and down stairs for this and that.
I really need to speed up.
chems used split-x then acid rinse. will try and get some pics up think they may-be in computer heaven when i tried ti re-size them.
Any advice on organisation appreciated

i remember my first job, longe, seperate dining room, hall stairs and landing, with a truckmount, started at 9am and finished at 3pm 

don't worry about it paul, it all comes with practice, full 3 bed house in just under 2 hours now. like all things you'll speed up when you get used to it.

Was the client happy?

As per Derek above.

You may find they tell other people "he was really good. He took a long time getting it just right"

practice practice and more practice. all you need is jobs jobs jobs and you will be knocking them off in half the time.

Yes Garry

The custie was happy with result. I had played her down expectations on the berber. Stairs came up very good

firstly why are you concerned about how long its taken you. take your time learn on each job and speed will come naturally

[clinton]

Just takes time to get into a system mate.

It will all fall into place and less running.

My first job was a lounge and took me ages

[Paul Simpson]

Don't try and keep up with more experienced cleaners that will come with time.
Anyway everyone works at different speed, I normally rush around like I'm in a hurry when I'm at a job, always have done even though I've tried to slow down.
Having said that when I did my first 3 piece suite took about 4.5 hours and the replies I got on here were "How bl**dy long"  

[Paul Evans]

Thanks for all the replys, And encouragement.
Got another job friday remarkably simalar, berber Stairs and landing and bedroom really dirty. I do know the customer, And they have told me to do what i can, use what i want.
Basically i think it is trashed,
Do you have any thoughts what to hit it with.

Cheers Paul

Watch out, splash & dash merchant around.
I take it you've not allowed for setting up time in your calcs, tidying up at the end etc

[M.Acorn]

House was empty,so didn`t have to move anything,bedrooms were not too bad just lounge and diner that was a chore

[Mike Halliday]

experience really does speed you up.

 I'm now letting my technician do the wanding on jobs and I am amazed how slow he is, I had to tell him not to do so many dry strokes he was doing literally 8-9 dry strokes. he also keeps doing the same area.... like he forgets where he has been and does it again just in case.

 I have to go out of the house and do something in the van to stop me grabbing the wand out of his hands and doing it myself

this is after 4 months of watching me.

I did 2 x 2 seater sofa's and 2 arm chairs today, there was also some staining from Demin jeans on sofa, took me 4 hours to do. I've only been going 6 months but it takes as long as it will take, don't worry about it.  If you have earnt what you need to by the end of the day, who cares, that's all that matters, that and doing a good job. Customers were happy with clean and have now booked me for carpets.

How long does it take everyone to clean (on average) a Lounge diner, hall stairs landing? shall we say a 3 bed semi sized house.
