Winter Slowdown

a HUSTLER bahahahahahah ahahahahahahaa....

your a comedian toooo bahahahahaha

Damn cleanex I'm going to use what you just said on my nice shiney communication piece...

Let me tell you what makes a business man... a shirt and tie a little flash and a good sized kick back...

lol cleanex you can't tell me anything I don't know.... 

The one thing about commercial carpet maintenance work that one needs to do is. First you need to become a businessman, if you don't qualify than don't go to the next step.  

Why do facility managers prefer to have a professional business person look after their carpet investment?

It is very simple they tried the other route of letting the Janitorial Contractor do it and ended up with a very costly replacement bills long before the carpet needed replacement, with a  proper program we can double the life expectancey  of the carpet and save the facility mega bucks, and they love saving money

Yes Doug you are right on, commercial is not for everybody! 

Steamer, we operate a lot differently than the big three in GTA, my guys are paid by the hour, and not as subcontractors or associates what ever they call them, we supply all the equipment, detergents, trucks, all they need do is clean the carpets no matter how long it takes, they get paid.

Cleanex....over 90% of all my work is maintenence contracts, I rarely do residential any more except for the odd promotional idea that I come up with for cash sales.................If you have maintenence contracts that total 2000,000 sq Ft. in any one company.......then that company should fire the superintendant in charge of cleaning contracts, why would it not be included in the regular maintenence of the building...........sounds very fishy to me.................It just doesn't pass the smell test

LOL cleanex at least you took my rant with a grain of salt... I guess the message gets lost in translation...

It's not what you said it's how you said it... we all know about the break down... but most times YOU CLEAN IT ALL or at least do interm maintenance... deep steam 3 times a year and the rest of the time light bonnet...but some service has to be applied to ALL the carpet... even if it's spot cleaning

still a waste of time...... good thing you do it... I'll stick to my crap residential it pays the bills....

I don't have a crew like you.... so for me no good...

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
