i really dont understand why people bother to go into business to earn less than they would on minimum wage, they should be dealt with accordingly, nigel will last about 2 months

35 bucks for a suite, is this a record?!  Lowest I've seen round here is 45.

Can anyone beat that?  Who could possibly knock Nigel off top spot (or bottom spot)?

Keep your eyes peeled chaps :)

Incidentally, one cleaner just down the road from me has a Yell.com enhanced listing and he's advertising bargain basement prices.

www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?ssm=0&scrambleSeed=41699983&keywords=carpet+cleaner&companyName=&location=corby&x=0&y=0&M=0



On a side note, I'm very tempted to give AB Cleaning a call and ask them to eliminate my neighbour's dog that keeps barking  ;D

Perhaps they are called First Clean for a reason!

Mark I think you have posted that before but I was working in the far north of teh empire today Norton in Doncaster near Wakefield and while I was waiting for the custy to come off the phone to pay me I had a quick squiny in the local rag and it was full of them.

I'd love the NCCA to get organised and sort a proficient system out so professional cleaning would be well documented.

What I don't understand is say they show a suite a handtool and hardly touch it then present a bill, people must be just accepting that's the best that can be done and cough up.

Or do they say that's a poope job on yer way? :-\

I just love it when it says "all work guaranteed" lol

Oh you could have a lot of fun trying to work out what is meant by that.

Guaranteed to be bad, perhaps?

And how does one go about claiming on the guarantee?

The leaflet above does say all room sizes a maximum of 100sq ft, so that price rockets once he is in the door, maybe not as daft as it looks!

i really don't understand why you think your competing against his prices, if you snap out of that mentality and put a price on your own performance then he's not in your league. like ive said in previous posts, rolls royce don't poop them selves when a new scoda is launched.
