Go in at 25 quid at first then go to 15 if he  pulls a face.

I was thinking a tenner
Seriously though, why do window cleaners suddenly think they can become carpet cleaners in the blink of an eye.
I'd tell the guy to call a professional carpet cleaner, just as if a customer of mine was looking to have his windows cleaned, I'd recommend he call a window cleaner.

I don't think we are being snobbish, I think you would be equally peeved if carpet cleaners were constantly seeking advice on cleaning windows, which we know nothing about and there is probably more to it than meets the eye, just like cleaning carpets.

[Paul Moss]

Lol, what answer would you expect to get :

All carpet cleaners charge different prices, based on loads of different things.
All you need to do is take down room sizes and then phone 2 or 3 local cleaners to you for qoutes. That will give you your local average price

Dont be so lazy asking on here,just do a bit of common sence leg work

[GS CLEANING SERVICES UK]

dont be so LAZY.....Paul it is Sunday after all , reason why i came on here is 1 im on it everyday anyway 2 , the guy doesnt want a pro guy with a pro price , im his windy , i said i would do it and he pays for my time . Like i said , i dont want to rip the guy but i want to make something of it....anyway , no biggy just thought ciu members help eachother out , if one of your cc custies lived in a bungalow and mentioned that she will pay someone £35 to clean her conservatory and windows , would you not don your window cleaning cap to her . HA nuff said LOL

[Simon Gerrard]

Actually no, wouldn't even think about it, I'd give the lead to my brother in law whose a professional window cleaner.

[Jim_77]

Not for £35!  I think this is the point that many non-carpet cleaners simply can't get their heads around.

[Jim_77]

Your customer needs to make a decision - pro price for a job worth being done, or go hire a rug doctor and make a balls of it.

Why is it that people want a rolls royce for the price of a skoda?

[Paul Evans]

surely you want a decent job for your custie. I live in Hyde and could do this job for you if you wish

is it worth losing your custy if you're 'escort' soaks the carpet and leaves it wet for days causing  foul odours and possible damage from yellowing?

Would your p/l ins cover this? I don't think so.    Not a c/c snob, just sensible advise to save you grief 

[peter maybury]

You have not had an answer because the hire equipment that you are going to use is absolute pants.
Your ignorance of our industry allows you to think that what you are going to do is going to be a comparable service to something that we have invested large amounts of money into equipment and training.
A polish cowboy with a crap machine and no idea of what he is doing would probably charge in the region of about £40/50 for what you are going to do. Then like my customer yesterday will pay somebody like myself £125 to put the job right. That is the best answer I can give you.

hi goldstar, you said in your last post that your custy doesnt want to pay a pro guy with a pro price so asking alot of pro cleaners would charge seems abit pointless just charge him for your TIME. Just charge him what you could be earning cleaning windows. Easy

[Colin Day]

I might add window cleaning to my services... I'm a dab hand with Windolene...
