Actually winter brings in lots of extra work for me.... I do ALL the CC, uph, and area rugs for a large resto company. Case in point, today, at the end of the day, I went to their warehouse, cleaned a mattress and box spring, 6 dining chairs, and a recliner.... I also picked up 11 area rugs to be cleaned.... bring on the cold....

What fools!
We did all our cleaning in house. They are crazy not to have their own staff processing that work.

Even though I agree with that statement, they’ve had MAJOR issues with finding qualified people to do the cleaning. When I first started for them, the first 10-12 jobs were callbacks from the guy they had doing it.... I’ve been their go to for about 2 years now, and they throw me probably 3-5k a month worth of work.... I’ve yet to let them down. I even am on the rotation for ‘on call’ for flood extraction every 2 weeks.... I take from 6 pm- to 6 am. I’ve yet to get called out, and they pay me 150$ for it..... great deal for me....

You will notice that it was our drop off locations and not our on-location cleaning. The original post was about on-location cleaning. We closed the Depots to save a few dollars since no one was coming out in that weather anyway.

lol its 28 right now, not too bad. No wind but it's coming tonight.

Mr Happy!
It happened... Postponed tonight's big resturuant job to next week.
Guys have three today yet in brutal cold... But this wind there is something different about it...
Last time we cleaned in crazy cold it didn't have this wind...
When it's cold and calm it's different... This cold snap is brutal feeling.
I am still in airport... Getting in sometime this afternoon and hope to pack up yet today and thaw out the Big Boy Blue Dodge 4x4 in the shop.
Leaving again tomorrow for Saiger's South!
Even restaurant owner is telling me wind is really picking up. That's rare with all our trees to get high winds that we feel.

I’m about to board the plane from San Francisco to Minneapolis. Can’t wait to get there. ☹ NOT!
Same here, I work for 3 large restorers, all have carpet cleaning equipment, none of them want to hassle with cleaning carpet and furniture

That is so odd. Several years ago I went to a class with some very large restoration companies. Most subbed their cleaning out. Before class, I was given the cold shoulder because we did no reconstruction.
By noon I became everybody's best friend. The instructor told the class if they weren't into cleaning, they needed to be. While the sales numbers looked great for reconstruction, the real money was in cleaning and drying.
