8 Weekly Cleans
« on: January 27, 2010, 02:40:06 pm »
If the price for a 4 weekly clean is £10, how much would you charge extra to do the same house on a 8 weekly cycle?

Thanks
Rob

at the mo i charge £2 pound more per clean. and then £4 more if it was 12 weeks.

thinking of charging more but havent got round to it yet.

i always price £1 per window and £2 per bay or patio door, then i always add another £1 for myself.

hope that helps a bit.

I charge £2 extra for 8 weekly at the moment.

Though when I move I'm going to charge 25 - 30 % extra for 8 weekly

Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

double it and explain because you use pure water you dont have to clean it as often..
i explain to custys that because we dont clean traditionaly with a sqeegee and fairy liquid we dont leave a sticky film on there windows were any dust etc will stick to,we also clean the frames and we dont have to mither them every couple of weeks for 10 quid,just send 20 every 8 weeks... ;))
all our customers are very happy with this,hope this helps  ;))

Thanks to all those that replied. :)

I now have some idea of what to charge for less frequent cleans.

Had quite a few of mine saying can you leave for a couple of months - prob because of crap weather and trying to save money etc - I just say ok fine because I dont want to lose them as customers.

i dont charge anything extra for 8 weekly as to be honest they still stay clean just like 4 weekly. 1 of the main reasons some of my customers have gone to 8weekly instead of 4 is money issues where they cant afford it monthly.

My round is about half and half monthly/two monthly.

As a guideline I try to charge 50% extra for two monthly. But sometines as low as 25% extra.
It's a game of three halves!

Surely if you get enough 8 weeklies you can make a living, just as you can with any other cycles.




ask them to eat every 8 weeks because thats what they are saying

That's like me saying I can't afford a new car this year so the guys who make them will have to go hungry.  ??? Hardly my fault is it?

You can get extra, and I make a living from it so it can be done, we offer 4,8,12 weekly and one off cleans  all I am happy with the payments each costing from from 4 upwards, changing the same for a 4 weekly and 8 weekly is clearly madness is it takes more time, it involves more work and you would need to customers to fill the same spot as a 4 weekly so cost you more in fuel ect, (point made) ;)

Charge more for 8 weekly  ;D or lose money  :-*
