[8weekly]

I was staggered at this. I remember paying £50-£60 a room 15 years ago, so how on earth do they do this so cheap? Glad I clean windows.

Think your carpets are not too bad like this lady did? THINK AGAIN.
Spent £1000s on carpets or would it cost £1000s to replace them?
Whilst spending £0s on LOOKING AFTER THEM!!??
Just because you cannot see it, THE DIRT AND GREASE IS STILL THERE!!
1 room £29
2 rooms £39
2 rooms and hallway £49 (ALL EXCLUDING FLATS NOT ON GROUND FLOOR )

Below is a before and after from last week

£50 or £60 per room.......you'd be sat at home all day at those prices for bog standard houses.

[JandS]

Standard lounge, dining room and hallway at £50 you would still make good money if you organised yourself...around 90 minutes arrive to depart.

Plus travelling, plus equipment and chemicals, van. Lucky if you clear £18 an hour.

That brings back memories as was charging those sort of carpet cleaning prices 30 odd years ago. Bless em

brings back the time of the carpet cleaning wars on teeside back in the 90s , where vans were getting hit and staff were getting abused all for 25 pound full houses !!! they never did anything too our vans

we were talking to a guy here in Essex last week and some here are doing  £10 per rooms !

I was at an end of tenancy exterior clean job not so long ago when a chap turned up with his truck mount. He was there about an hour and before he left we got chatting and only went and billed the tenant £250 for the pleasure. Not to mention he had another 4 jobs booked in that day.

Now that just goes to show you can make good money with the right kit and price well don't it.

Truth is you can get the same kind of pricing structure with window cleaning. We've all seen the kind of thing £5.00 a house, £2.00 a front.

It's okay. There's plenty of work out there. Do a good job, fill your books with recommendations, advertise in the right place, have a nicely presented professional website. Uniform, polite, paperwork.


Let the bottom feeders do there thing, you don't have to work at their level even if you feel the invite is obligatory.

Good post. It's common sense to most normal folk, it's not difficult- although there will always be those who think they've found something no one else has, when they themselves discover it!!

I was told believe about half of what you read on here.

Well if your going to waste good money on things like speed liner those prices aren't going to stretch far,
I suppose the upside of not being able to demand the higher prices is you tend to be more sensible with your expenses.

[ChumBucket]

Please refrain from using such language SeanK, "sensible"? this is CIU!

You'll be teaching them "common sense" next!

I had no idea they only made the Trend, and van wrapping for carpet cleaners...

[Carpet Dawg]

oops sorry for resurrecting such an old thread but felt I had to comment.

Just to confirm there is no money in carpet cleaning. Used to be ok a few years ago but everyone one is charging cheap prices and there is literally no money out there to make it work.  I barely scrap a living 

Stick to the glass fellas.
