Eighty percent of my customers ask "HOW MUCH IS A GALLON?". Seldom do we get asked how concentrated is this product and how many sq. ft. will it clean.

10 gallons of stock solution cleans approx. 500 sq. ft. at 1oz. per gallon. Selling price of $16.00 per gallon = $1.00 to clean above area.

10 gallons of stock solution clean approx. 500 sq. ft. at 4oz. per 10 gallons selling price of $35.00 per gallon = 85 cents to clean above area.

What is the better deal?

Conclusion
Many games can be played with the chemical manufacturing business. You tell me what you want to pay and I leave the water hose in the vat to correspond to your anticipated price. It can be that easy for unscrupulous bottlers.

Conclusion. Quantity vs quality. I am not sure if that has any bearing on the price of apples in Africa. It is common nature to ask how much. ie how much to clean a rug? $10.00 if you use the quantity cleaner $20.00 if you use the quality cleaner. Reason who knows. But quite often the person who is willing to pay alittle more for the proper product may know just a little bit more than the price shopper. Either that he tried the no name brandalready. Save a little use more product. Save a lot use good product , use less time make more money. Time is Money.

You can get gas real cheap, take the 401 west, turn left where the guy is sitting wearing a turbin, go straight for 5000 miles, then turn right when you see the arrow marked Saddam's House.....It's a little place called IRAC. Just wave and nod your head at everybody as you drive up to one of the oil wells. Better you go at night, the falling bombs will light up your path.
