Cleaning Master,
Lets not be to sanctimonious about service,
of course I service my REPEAT customers with due respect but I also work hard yet sensibly it is not for me to pontificate and be overbearing but if you can not grasp working smart and not hard get help.

I am sorry I thought I was typing English.

Dryasabone has a good business sense but dry carpet cleaning sells well but isn't as profitable as wet cleaning (irrelivant of the which is best arguement) as the compaound is far more expensive.

The product itself is far better than what it used to be (powder) but so are the detergents and nondetergent formulas, neither system leave residues and I'm sure that both leave a good clean carpet (obvilously down to the operator) but the fact is that dry granular cleaning is far more expensive to do.

The cheap bit of carpet cleaning got expensive, the expensive bit (insurance, adverts, petrol etc) still is the same for both and NO dry cleaning doesn't get you more customers only YOU get you more customers.

dry cleaning is good for everyday soiled carpets.

Shaun, the idea of the Flexi 5 is to use it as a pre-vac whilst it also lifts the pile. Then switch the vac off and use it to agitate pre-sprays. As its waterproof this doesn't invalidate the warranty unlike some others.

[dryasabone]

Mr Ashmore,
How wrong you are !
I purchased a Host machine 2 years ago it is a viable business even from the boot of a family saloon, I would hasten to add that I work from a van that is fully sign written.
My overheads are the traffic booster @£25 ltr and sponges /compuond.
If I do not earn £40 ph I am not trying ,
There is no other overhead .
This is the best cash cow ever.
Best of all my REGULAR clients love it.
" FORGET WET "

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Are you saying that you don't have fixed costs?

What about insurance?
Petrol?
Accountant?
etc etc

As for cleaning solutions

How much are teh sponges and how far do they go per sq metre?

4kg tub of Pure clean £18.75, and I have a brand new van.
If I'm not earning £80-100 an hour I'm not trying and that's everyday 6 days a week.

Dry has its place but wet does clean better as I used to be HOST'ed.

[dryasabone]

Gentlemen,
I have read these alleged earnings . It do not happen,
Certain days  I can earn £100 ph
Unfortunately out of 365 days probably 20.
I earn £500 pwk because I do not frighten people off with crazy costs that are based on making your money up for the rest of the year.
And in response to tax,insurance,accountant ect. What out of £500pwk it is buttons what sort of lifestyle do carpet cleaners live ?

[Jim_77]

Crikey.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Well......I'm not gong to tell you my personal details but,

I know a guy who sold confectionary from a shop on the corner of Bramall Lane next to the football ground also sandwiches on match day, I cleaned his carpets in his home as he is selling it to move abroad.

All this from selling chews and polos and yorkies.

I'd say he's about 55 years in age, his daughter now runs that shop so she'll be joining him in a few years time.

Rocket science MY ARSE!

Why do you have do reveal your ignorance not only in life but obviously in business by being so crass

[spencer davies]

Oh dear..... Dryasabone, are you a newbie? I only ask because some of the comments you are making I would expect to come from a fairly inexperienced operator.
