Winter Slowdown

Penny a sq ft per month is not bad.

200,000 sq ft office at a penny a sq ft=$2000.00 per month

Only about 20% is ever cleaned on any given month=40,000 sq ft

That equates to .05 cents a sq ft for a maintneance procedure, and that goes on for month after month, year after year, makes sense in my world.

Thanks, Dennis!

It is great Cleanex.... have you ever cleaned 200,000sq ft  it's not a baby boy job... and all the little complaints here and there.  2 grand for all that work.... not worth the man labour and headache.  that could take a few days even with truck mount.

I rather do 4 or 5 small commercial jobs at .20-.45 cents... less work... less headache

nobody said they didn't understand maintenance contracts... I SAID IT IS NOT WORTH IT...

if you can't understand not worth it then its hard to explain, nobody ever cleans if it's not worth it..

a wand stroke is a wand stroke for me

Cleanex T thiught you were smarter than that, You have no clue about maintenance contracts, maybe theyjust give you push a mop to push around to keep out of everybodys way. Even @ 40,000 Sq Feet /month it takes man hours, plus chemicals, encapsulation brushes are only good for X amount of sq.feet before changing, your cost has to be min. 1.5 cents sq foot, plus, plus, plus and how about the other work you have to do on that contract....................what a dumb dumb

That's right Steamer I said $2000.00, they charge an annual fee that works out to .12 cents a sq ft in this example, or .01 cent per month if you want to break it down.

The program has certain areas cleaned monthly others are cleaned 2, 3, or 4 times a year. Simply you bill it out in 12 equal installments and that works out .01 cent per sq. ft per month, and never ever do you clean all 200,000 sq ft in a month, or come close to that.

The one thing I know vs. you guys running all over hell doing small residential jobs is, I know exactly what it costs me to do my jobs, I know my gross and net profits from each job, I know how to schedule the work, I know a year in advance what needs to be done in each building. Simply put I don't fret over slow winter months, all months are the same to me. I am a happy carpet cleaner
