Back and forth, back and forth....

[Bob Foster]

Your on the truck swinging a wand all by your lonesome. You back into the driveway and grab the door handle.

From that point on a regular two-story house with regular carpet and a regular size how many trips do you make back and forth to the truck before you shut your van door and roll away with that big check and a happy customer waving goodbye?

I'll keep track tomorrow.
Never really worried about it.

I know I have a few extra trips when I forget something.

That's why I like rentals the 10 step dog and pony show is not worth it unless they want most of the house cleaned.


Rentals:
at the door with spotter bucket, inline sprayer and wand

start machine pull hose, clean and done


Occupied residential: :| back and forth, back and forth
Vacant Rentals: shiteatinggrin Give them the old in out

By myself walkin get signed work order get vacuum carpet rake wand, Pre vac everything take Vac back to car set water hose up and walk waterline into house with wall gaurds at that time. Machine is already Idleing and depend on what type carpet I have hydroforce premixxed ready to go

then I prespray all area's and rake then return rake and prespray bottle to van taking van from Idle to 1st gear and running vac lines in usually have 2 1/2 inch Y off truck with 2 inline filters setup when setting water inlet up.

After vac lines are up chemical pump is primed I go to work at one point I always give the customer a set of shoe covers for everyone there and make a joke about how slippery hard surfaces are reminding them NO ICESKATING! and I will repeat the phrase several times before I leave.

Once done cleaning pack it up and go get paid thats it in a nutshell.

these guys have a killer deal on shoe covers buy in bulk its like $6.00 for 50 pairs

thats around .12 cent per pair it goes a long way.

 

[sam miller]

I actually get the large barley fit my size 11 shoe they are around $6.50 in bulk the xl are a dollar more probably get them next time

more like .15 cents a pair.

 

[Ron Werner]

First Trip in: Clip board and a smile, do walk through pre-inspection.

Second trip in: In line sprayer, wand, tool belt strapped to hip, set sprayer down at first room and walk wand to furthest room. On the way back I spray mystery spots with spotter from hip. Go back out and start machine.

Third trip in: Solution line, go in and spray, most if not all of house. Go out turn off machine if I am going to pre-scrub. grab vac hose if no scrubbing is needed.

Vac/rinse my way out, invite custy to inspect job, role up hose collect check, hand bottle of spotter with name on it.

I will go out and get a stair tool if stair case can't be done with regular wand.
