Hi,just looking for a rough price for cleaning 30 sq mt of porcelain kitchen floor tiles.Whats an average price  per sq mt? Thanks.

[Radek Jablonski]

been cleaning my first tiles yesterday
around 20sqm, asked for 70, took me a bit over hour, sure could be done in around 40min but that was my first time
asked for 70 and got it with no problem, sprayed with solutions sts (had a sample bottle), scrubed it with tm4, extracted with the wand and glide on it, and then quick clean with magic sponge around the edges and some bits of remining dirt.
it was on the top of upholstery clean job

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

Hi Radek,sounds like they got a good deal,70 euro .

[Radek Jablonski]

70 euro for the 20sq tiles think i got good deal
+ 130 for upholstery

[Radek Jablonski]

brendan,
simply make a calls around and find out what others charge
its gonna be similar to carpets I bet
other story if problems need to be sorted, sealer applied etc.

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

I would have taught tile cleaning would be a little more expensive than carpets.Problem with calling different companies,even for carpet cleaning the prices vary from 20 euro to 70 euro per room.

I know guys who only deep clean domestic tiled floors and they are earning far more than when they were cleaning carpets and upholstery, average size kitchen come dining room at 95 euro to deep clean grout lines  and tile surface takes approx  one and a half hours which is a handy little earner as they get loads of referral jobs as the custys are trilled to have their floors looking like new again and end up telling all their friends and family about the amazing results, great thing is the custy will go back to mopping her floor with silly mops and chemicals and have to call the guys back again 6 to 12 months later to carry out another deep clean on her floors, not that these guys are complaining with the repeat jobs and all the referral work, happy days there is indeed money in dirt.

[Radek Jablonski]

are they in Cork? can you name it?
could be nice to see this prices

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

I would charge more than that for carpet cleaning for the kitchen area Tadgh mentioned.

  you are getting more than 95 euro for cleaning an average sized kitchen carpet not that i know many people who have carpets in their kitchens but fair dues to you if you are.

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

Hi Tadgh,what i meant is say average kitchen 12x24,well if i cleaned a living room 12x24 of carpet it would be more than 95 euro.

[Tadgh O Shea]

are they in Cork? can you name it?

Hi Radek, yes even guys in Cork are getting these prices but no i would not name them as they would prefer others not to know their earnings, i am sure you know why as these are mostly cash in the hand jobs.

[Tadgh O Shea]

Hi Tadgh,what i meant is say average kitchen 12x24,well if i cleaned a living room 12x24.it would be more than 95 euro.

Again fair dues if you can get more than 95 euro for cleaning a 12 ft x 24 ft living room keep it up as i said there is money in dirt.

[Radek Jablonski]

95 euro for 30 sqm is actually the same rate as my 70 euros per 20sqm.
I will be looking for minimum 50 per hour and looks like tiles can get that easy, more I say.  Gonna be an extra nice earner.

All the above prices are a joke! €70 right now equates to £51.85 for 20M2 that is £2.59 a M2 or  24p per sq ft    The other example of 30M2 at €90 is even worse and works out to £2.22 M2 or 20.5p per sq ft.

I don't know what your doing or how you work things out but I wouldn't even bother at those prices!!!!

The average van costs around £10-£15 a day just to tax, insure, service, repair, MOT and a bit of depreciation depending on initial cost.  I charge £25 a day for a van to attend every job + 45p a mile in fuel each way.  That does not include Parking or congestion charges if applicable.  So if one of those jobs was 5 miles away it would be £30 or €40 before I even started.  Both of you need to start thinking things through!

Hi Kevin,what would be an average per sq mt for tile cleaning.Thanks

[terrazzoman]

I allow for the same sort of transport cost................our vans each, travel 175 miles a day return to London and with parking and congestion charge it cost on average  £128.00 a day  plus the van use of £20.00 a day and that's before we get out of the van

[Radek Jablonski]

kevin, you are just like some carpet cleaners, that can not understand that everyone has different situation.
Very specialized companies like you or Eddie can charge much more, different customer target, most are targeting middle class.
your spendings are different then mine, so I can charge less and still earn good money to me, the money which can be a joke for you but very good earner for me.

Yes Kevin you stated on a recent post that you don't bother with the mom and pop stuff as you called it ( deep cleaning tiles and grout lines) you just do the real work as you said which is fair enough, the guys i am talking about carry out this work with grout brushes,deep cleaning mops, and a small amount of cleaning solution, in and out 95 euro for one and a half hours work no expensive equipment required on average can do 4 a day and walk away with 400 euro in their back pockets,  thats 2000 euro a week and nothing to be snuffed at.

[Kev Martin]

I may be wrong but I don't think we know anyone who works for that sort of money cleaning hard floors.  We are doing a 9M2 kitchen floor at our convenience round the  corner and it is £225 + VAT
