So now it's hard work.!!!!!Compared to what ?
Bricklaying / Warehouse worker / Leatherworks Operative / Landscaper just a few jobs that are physically more demanding than c/c and pay around £10 per hour, more for the self employed obviously, but don't kid yourselves, that this is hard work.
You might work fairly hard, in short bursts, but on a day to day basis, how many clock on for an eight hour shift and have to perform throughout that shift.
I think some of you are trying to justify your charges, because you know they are excessive.
Some will be giving a lot more of themselves than others and deserve to get a higher return, but the majority of carpet and upholstery cleaning, is just that, cleaning!!!
Additional services will give additional earnings, which is fine, but 9 times out of 10 the job is cleaning and it's not particularly hard, neither do you need to attend College or Uni' for years to become qualified.
