Hi Guys

Crewexcel, if you do decide to go into CC you will look back on this and smile in a couple of years time.

Carpet cleaning is at the complex end of the cleaning spectrum, lots of different fibres, stains, potential shrinkage, colour run etc and upholstery is more complicated still.

All us CC's have been to jobs where someone has Vaxed the carpet and it just isn't clean.

Take a step back and if you still want to do CC go on a course.

If you want to be a general cleaner offereing a bit of CC then just charge at your normal rate as you are only really supplying labour.

Cheers

Doug

have to confess that the first time i did an end-of-tenancy clean I used a hired machine. However, although the customer was delighted with the result I needed someone to supply endless buckets of water an empty dirty water. I did it only once, bought a small prochem machine with free course and away I went.

Here is a Numatic like I was reffering to in a previous post.
Better then Vax in my opinion and if you are sticking to do just occassional jobs then its fine - what I used and still spot with.
