Any cleaners here that do commercial only?

[BIG WOOD]

all the carpeted offices and cubicle farms are vacant. Zoom doesn't need you.



Your trash truck idea stands a better chance

Get into a normal market without billionaires and you’ll agree with me



Back to the commercial. I’ve never tried to get my commercial clients to sign a quarterly contract. Does anyone have a sample they’d like to send me with some tips on how to stress the need for the customers to have it?

I do not move a single chair or table... they are ok with that tho.

Lots of good info here. I do very little commercial. I have a local sandwich shop I do and a Dr office. I always assumed there wasn’t much money in it and couldn’t get any commercial when I first started out. A local Chic-fil-a has asked me twice now to give them a quote to clean all the tile. It’s pretty bad currently. They want an initial cleaning and then maintenance cleaning every 2 weeks. Any of you commercial experts care to give me an idea of what I should charge?

Today I let my Asian restaurants know I’m no longer cleaning for them. They were sad and even begged me to stay on. They offered to pay me more. I kindly refused. Today I’m liberated.

Why do you add these off topic comments in my threads? If I was any closer to you, I’d TP your house

Chinese restaraunts aren’t commercial. They’re just Chinese restaraunts. Lol

I used to clean a local Chik-fil-A. It was hard to clean, but I was cleaning with 600 psi (TCS unit) and no agitation. If they called me again, I’d probably decline. Especially since they want it done on Sunday.

 

[Hack Attack]

I almost fired a restaurant this morning, they got flooded quite bad few months back. This morning got a call they'd been hit again the same. Turn up and it's 2 sq/m.. while you're here can you do my traffic lanes?

 

[hogjowl]

One of my restaurants is burning as we speak. I hope they get all new wood floors.

 

[Nomad74]

See how much life I brought to your thread Matt. You're welcome.


Oh, by the way.... I walked into a giant cactus plant today while hooking up my water hose. It took me hours to get all the thorns out of my arm.

If you were to clean it again with a proper TM and agitation what would you charge them? How long did it take you typically?

 

[Cleanworks]

I do lots of commercial but not restaurants. My commercial is mostly large condo building hallways and common areas or office type settings. Most done during the day or at closing time for the offices. I charge $.35 per sqft for that type of commercial.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I guess we’ve all done Chick-fil-A’s. Of course I did it the janitor way back in the day.

Sorry, that was back before ServiceMonster and I’m not where I can get into Quick Books to check. I’ll try to remember later today.
