If you are steam cleaning, you are deep cleaning!
Now there are different tools that you can use that will give you better results. ------------- Could somebody just clean my carpets! |

I think "Deep Clean" is just a term used for marlketing. BUt if you run into a nasty and have to whip out the Rotary for aggitation...then by all mean Charge more!!

If you have the Rotovac 360..Then you wouldnt need a rotary. Maybe you can charge more for using your Rotovac on nasties (Thats what I did when I use my Rotovac back in the day).

I don't charge extra if I use my RX 20 because it makes my job easier and takes less time. Then again I never have it on the truck unless I really need it? ------------- Just My opinion |

you could dry vac... move all the furniture(ALL) and vac under it....place drop cloths on all hard surfaces....pre-spray....rotor scrub everything that includes under the furniture...steam extract...move and re pad/block furniture....put out air blowers....re dry vac the whole jobe 3 times to help remove more moisture...then groom all the carpets and under the furniture move and re-pad again...
thats a good job...more money???  ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

| I think cleaning a 2000 sf house in the middle of summer is harder with a wand. So to me wasn't about getting carpet cleaner but just easier on me. I also have an electric reel that cost 3 times as much as a reg reel, but again I can spend more energy in the house instead of setup. Now at then end of the day not nearly as tired. So worth every penny. |
Posted By: MR. STEAMER

bryan...and electric reel is not directly making the customers carpet cleaner.... Believe it or not it costs to lug around that RX in the truck.
Customer don't appreciate it unless they pay for it. Using an RX is improving the cleaning...why shouldn't they pay for it..
The crap part about it is...the next time you don't use that RX on their carpet it'll become a problem.
I just got a cimex....that machine is heavy...if I bring it in they have to pay..why???? so they know that when I come the next time and that they need extra scrub service....cha ching$$$$$ pay me

| Fist of all not that had to bring in side of house it is on wheels, even going up and down stairs. The only draw back is using it in tight spaces, bath rooms and next to hardwood or tile floors. Again even if it did the same job as a wand, it is still less fatigue on you. To me this is why I use it. A lot of people clean with a portable to me this is much harder then the RX. |

| Mr Steamer let me ask you a question. Do you charge extra for you pre-spray? |
Posted By: MR. STEAMER
Date Posted: 04/February/2007 at 11:28pm
|
No thats part of the regular cleaning service. I know where you're going with this..... Using an RX should command you a higher room rate. At least I would charge more ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |
Posted By: bryan
Date Posted: 05/February/2007 at 1:38am
| Where I'm going with this is you can clean with out pre-spray and still get a good result. With pre-spray you can clean faster and better saving you time. With that time and extra energy not having to scrub as much do to the pre-spray you can do an extra job, or just have more time. So the point is the rx-20 you right should justify more money since it cleans better. On the other hand cleaning faster and less drain on me is worth the expense of an rx-20. You also get the added bonus of setting you self apart from the rest of he cleaners. |

Hell Yesssss you have invested the cash in an RX....it should be a.... win for you because it's easier

It's amazing how he thinks he is so far ahead of the game that he doesn't realize how futile his strategy is. A race to the bottom to get the lowest price first because he can have cheaper manufacturing costs than innovative multimillion dollar companies. Doesn't see it that way. His logic is - How much does it cost to widdle glides on some milling machine somewhere - I think he believes that - let him in the meantime its entertaining as hell.
And he thinks all the stuff stirred on the boards about him is good for his business. That is even more hilarious. ------------- http://www.expertcarpetcare.ca>Carpet Cleaning in Victoria BC |
