Just finished my Library Job!

Well I just got done with my 13,000 sq ft job. I have cleaned this particular job 2 full cleanings and once high traffic areas. This time it was almost perfect before I began. With the exception of the first 60 feet off the entrance and a few other traffic areas and maybe 3 spills, it was hard telling where I was and where I was going to clean next. Because of this I could speed along at 3237 sq ft per hour. I had my best helpers there-me,myself and I. The three of us moved chairs,rolling bookshelves and small tables and still made that cleaning time. The last hour my next dependable helpers showed up, one hot woman and her two daughters ages 8 and 1.3 . Good thing I married this helper years ago! This kept me motivated and I even let her clean a few hundred sq ft feet while I got off my feet for a minute. She liked bossing me to move this, pull the cord and move that....too much. So I took back over running the Cimex.....lol.

From getting in the door to getting out the door it took me a hair over 4 hours. I made $268 per hour and used about 1.75 gallons of concentrate, but I am wooped.

If I could just get 20 more jobs like ths one I could cut way back on my residential!

Those are quite some numbers. Congrats.
I would like to see myself getting an account like that each week and anything else would be a bonus.
Keep up the good work.

Continued success!
