[GS CLEANING SERVICES UK]

Mr Evans i will have a word with custy and see what his budget for the work is , if he wants a top-class job doing with the best equipment i will give you a ring and sort commision out for myself , if he just wants a cheapy , i will do it .
                                                                                                                                      The rest of you , although i respect this is your industry and you have paid alot of dough on machinery , training etc , i do feel that a couple of you who have responded are up your own arse , does your missus say you are that brilliant or do you just make love to your machines..........if it was a Mrs Bucket then i would recommend a pro to him , but as it is a geezer who happens to want his carpets in the house he rents out cleaning then that is why i have put myself forward . thank you

£20 a room should be about right, take a protein stain remover that should get most of your black spots, ideally have a solvent spotter too.

i just get hose pipe on mine, same as having em professionally cleaned innit? 

[Shaun_Ashmore]

How much of his deposit does he want back?

Cost cuts both ways, he's asking you to do it because he knows and trusts you the trust and work may deminish if you f'up, carpets to pay for (i'm guessing you don't have treatment risk insurance) and losing a window cleaning customer.

nice one sherlock .... hope u get the job 

[Paul Evans]

Dont think i will somehow. Reckon Goldstar will go in to cheap. But as we all know sometimes you go in TO CHEAP and customer see right through it 

[peter maybury]

It is a great shame that people do not care how they make money. Some one who is going to pretend to be something he is not and go out to hire something that a customer can hire themselves is no better than the cheats and conmen that you see on programs like watchdog etc. If you do not have experience you are obviously going to lie to a customet in order to get the work.

skoda....bloody good car

[peter maybury]

The thing that makes me laugh is all he wanted to know was what to charge, he thought that the only other thing he needed to do to look professional was hire a machine.
I did a job on Saturday where the prevoius cleaner had turned up to do a full house with a rug doctor, after making a mess of the first room the customer told him to leave, telling him he was not going to pay anything for that standard of clean.  When the guy was insistant that what he was doing was acceptable the customer did get a little bit intimidated.
Our industry has a massive problem with people`s perception..........

and what did the customer say when you walked in with you spurs, holster and your stetson on?

Equally the customer has to accept a huge part of the blame for thinking they can get such a job done for a daft cheap price.
We've all seen the leaflets which normally are identical across the country other than a name change right at the top........ Pikey warning

[Mr Dvae]

Maybe Mr 'Gold Star' would command a little bit more respect if he used his real name on this forum or even signed his original post.

Kind regards
