I charge one rate for all my cleaning .37 per sqft includes pre inspection, prevac,moving of furn,
encap,with cimex and in some cases with my sprint,and a 3 month spot cleaning follow up included. I see it this way the more the customer sees my face I'll have a loyal client for life.By the way this is my 20 th year in bus. the last 2 years with this incredible gift from God encap/cimex combo.

I went the other way....

In my "truckmount days" we were in the .25 to .30 a square foot. Now that we are 98% VLM and Cimexing we have lowered our rates, mainly because of the speed that we now clean at. We do most of the large commercial at .16 now, but each commercial job is inspected, measured and bid indivually. All residential is quoted by phone.

Thanks Mike for the compliment, but I'm not GOD. Don't worry, my wifes gets confused to because she thinks I'm kind of a DEVIL. LOL.

I'll tell you, a lot of people in Canada have come to appreciate the value of the Releasit/Cimex combo.

Even some of the school boards on the West Coast have gone away from there truck-mounts to the Releasit/Cimex. It's GREAT.

Being a carpet cleaner has been great to me over the last 22 years has puting food on the table, but, now cleaning with the Releasit/Cimex has made it very profitable to actually be in the carpet cleaning business.

It amazes me sometimes.

Why do people lower their prices when they find a way
to speed up production and make life easier.

Chances are the client would still pay the old price
and be happy to do so, especially if the cleaning looks
better then with the previous tools used.

The only time my price would vary is when we are not doing
certain tasks and the client is doing them for us, ( vacuuming moving racks or furniture)
