When they say spot cleaning , it would mean to me that they want "cheap".
You spot clean with encap and the end result will be a
bunch of clean spots that stand out. Then they will call you back
to even everything out. Have you ever done some test spots in a business
to show the owners what you can do? Then when you go to do the job the test spots really stand out. You need to tell them it is better to clean evenly than to make a bunch of clean
spots that will stand out. Price the open areas & if they don't like the price
then just walk away. 5286 sf @ .14
End of May I had a girl call for spot cleaning an apartment.
I told her that I don't clean spots. It will cost just as much
for spots as it would cleaning the whole carpet. Went to look at it
right across the street from us small area of 200 sf. Gave her a price
and when the job was completed got a $10 tip. This job was commercial carpet.
