In many parts of Canada and the USA I travel in, I see far too many cleaners not charging enough for their services to live even a moderatly good lifestyle. Judging by the appearance of the vans they drive, you would think they but a job away from ruin. We know that most cleaners are not good businessmen, and do not know even what the service they provide costs them to provide it. The price cutting that results in this often brings the " going rate" for the service below the cost of providing it!
What is the answer? |

Ken: I would like to reply to this. But it would step on too many of the die hard cleaners of the GTA Especially Mr. Steamer. Event though the same problem exists in all areas. I will tell you what I call it. Negative Advertising and Bait and Switch from the so called big companies, Some call it upselling. I call it like it is missleading advertising for the public, who think they are hireing a brand name. I better quit.

Mr. Steamer: We have been threw this a dozen times. That is why I said very little and mentioned no names. We all do what we have to do. I think you know where I Stand on pricing.

Mr. Steamer: I didn't read where anyone mentioned any brand name. But I believe I read somewhere about companies deliberately low balling to get ther foot in the door.

When ever this subject is brought up Mr. Steamer sticks his head back into the sand and denies this kind of business practice ever happens. The stupid thing no one is accusing him of anything at all. That is why I said sh** will hit the fan when topics like this are brought up. |

Hot topic Doug? I thought it might be. But I was tired of doing most of the posting lately with not much response coming back. At least topics like this get people thinking.

.50 for full service furnished cleaning where most things are moved. Less for TA cleaning and empties.
