I wrestled a bear once, it was 100 feet tall if it was 9.

Teddy Bear mind you but a bear nonetheless :errf:.

How do you make $ at those prices?

If you're relying so heavily on up selling, do you ever have customers get upset that you were misrepresenting your pricing?

OK, I'll bite which one?
View attachment 4011Actually the one on the left was like $1,450 all it put on that one is a feather touch valve and glide, the one in the middle I bought for $650 I believe and put another $150 cutting it down,adding jets, and feather touch valve, the one on the right has it all, and was around $1,500..

but in my area these are the prices to show but not the real prices there are limits and up sales.

Pay attention Russ .. he said those prices aren't real .. I'd be a little nervous advertising fake prices .. I hate confrontation .. I'd worry about the bait n switch act ..


I was hoping to see your process in video form .. it would be more interesting .. one of you doing the cleaning .. would you be able to do that

When my customers call and is on my website, up sales is $5.00 a Room for Stains and over 300sqft a room is $0.50 a sqft. So when they call I tell them about the extras which is not much.

My pricing on the post card flyers are true but have limits just like any carpet cleaner.

5 Rooms & Hallway $99.95.
4 Rooms & Hallway Stains Pre Treat $25.

I know you said 11 years carpet cleaning .. how long have you been in business for yourself

I know there's tons of video out there .. I was hoping to see one of you doing a job .. are you willing to do one .. no problem if you're not .. just curious .. thanks

5 rooms and a hall for $99.99 and an extra 200sf for $100 -

Has any customer given you a hard time about it being most expensive for the additional 200 sf .. especially when you advertise whole house upto 3000 sf for $149.00

One of your awesome reviews says you steam cleaned their living room .. was it TM or portable .. or was that a mistake .. if you did HWE, why did you move away from it .. would you ever go back

I will never go back to HWE because it takes to long to dry and or it wicks back stains and doesn't take everything out of carpet with HWE specially Berber carpet my method I don't have to worry it all comes out.

Black2White Site:
Our cleaning solutions are non-toxic and your carpets will look like you just put them on the floor.
We can remove spills, dust, mud and all sorts of deep stains you just can’t get out with regular methods. We will work to make sure all the stains are removed and there’s no dirt we can’t remove from your carpet.



I plucked this from your site .. once I read it, putting myself in a customers shoes, it made me feel like you guys would be the right company to hire if I want my carpet to look new .. but looking at it as a carpet cleaner, I'd worry about promising all the stains will be removed and stating carpets will look like you just put them on the floor ..

I've been cleaning a long time and there are times I couldn't get every stain out and a couple that were still in bad shape when I was done .. has any customer given you crap about your offer

That would be done by my brush system I use.

The second paragraph read closely the key words CAN & "DIRT" WE CANT REMOVE

Chris don't let these hot water hacks give you a hard time.


I know, and you know you do a killer job.

How can we help you in finding new clients. Is Yelp popular in your town?

Bait and switch bullshit son.Whole lotta old time vets here youngster, enough to h\ave played the bullshit game. Your pitch is so much bs and hyperbole that I can't believe you attract much more than buffoons. Now run along and go clean the dog kennels... When you're done, start on the cattle feedlots. Stick to the un nuetered male areas as bullshit is the most offensive. BTW
W - Raise your prices enough that 5 rooms and a hall won't be such a hit on the wallet.

Thank you, but what I do non of you will ever do and that's American honesty which is almost dead. I started. With $20 bucks in my po let and a truck mounted company to rip off my family that's why I am here today and what my Profession is so thank you.
