I would like to thank all the guys on here for the support over the years, I have now sold the Carpet cleaning side of the business to move on to other things as a few of you already know. I hope i can still look into the posts and advise where possible when i can, cheers.

All the best in your 'next step' ;), whatever it is?. Was it the accident that made you sell or was it planned any how.

Good luck

Cheers Guys, going into wheelie bin cleaning, been giving it alot of thought for a long time. We have had Wheelie bins in Calderdale since April 2009, i always expected some one coming round offering the service, but no-one ever has.
I have been asked by loads of people if i know anyone who cleans them as they are in a terrible state after 9 months.
Done my homework and it appears to be far more lucrative, and no marketing costs either.
cheers Mark

Sounds good mark :)

I ran a business with my carpet cleaning up to ten years ago and it was vending machines,i bought the business froma carpet cleaner whos brother in law was selling it.

Got a good return on it and i sold them to cadburys as they wanted the great sites i had,in  time i wish i had not sold it and had built it up as in your post said i had little or  no marketing to do, There again i got a good price for it.

Always found you helpfull with others on here and your a likable guy and i will tell you it helps in all ways of life.I could prob count on one hand the people i dont like on these forums so guess thats good  ;D

Good luck mark :)

We have had wheelie cleaners for a number of years round our place - Warrington
What the did during the snow when the council didnt come round but everyone left the bins on the front just in case the council did come round, was to put a tag on everyones bin handle advertising the service - £3 every month

Good luck Mark.
Have watched them clean ours in all weathers and thought thanks but no thanks.
They charge me £1.50 a time.
Used to be £1.00.
You using TM for the cleaning??
