If you've priced your services to not include pre vacuuming, why not offer it as an extra added service?
Why? because those of us that do, know the benefits..
Try this if you don't believe me, when booking your next 20 jobs, say this: Mrs Pifteleton the carpet is going to need to be vacuumed REAL WELL before I can start my process, do you have someone who can do this for you? If not.... "I can do an excellent job for you for just $10 (or what ever would make it worth your while) a room"..
Now be quiet and let her think about it.
If half your customers don't go for it, I'll be shocked.
and once you see and feel the benefits, you'll most likely just add it to your repertoire and bury the costs.
Try it, its the slow season and what do you have to loose.

Why? because those of us that do, know the benefits..
- Customers appreciated and rightly assume that we can do a better job than them.
- A pre vacuumed carpet makes all the other steps in the cleaning process work better and quicker: no dingle berries to deal with, less chemicals needed, fewer wand strokes, far less chance of the dreaded dirty dish rag post stench.
- Far less chance of wicking too!, which may or may not get noticed by your customers but really pisses off/disappoints those that do.
- Nothing beats the pre-vacuuming process to become one on one with the carpet cleaning project that lays before you. Spots, stains and wear patterns reveal themselves as you go..
