I offer
bonnet cleaning and
rotary shampoo for one price, done with my 175 swing machine.
A little more I offer what I call basic extraction cleaning. The
cleaning product goes into the machine, there is no rinse. I do a movie theater this way, but I use
something with a little more pH. I have to apply a
neutralizer or it will brown out, but this stuff cleans olefin better than anything.
Then I have what I call deluxe extraction cleaning. This means
TLC on the traffic lanes and brush it in with the 175. Then I
pre-spray. Deluxe cleaning also includes detail cleaning. I also deodorize with 1 ounce of
mint or
lemon Quat 32 per gallon. That's 1/4 the dilution it is supposed to be, I just want a light scent.
All this stuff runs $6-12 per gallon and it works just fine. I do use something else in "better" residential locations from Core Products.
Offering 3 choices means I can save some jobs I otherwise would lose. I just bid a 54 room 1 star motel about 75 miles NW of here. Mr Patel got my name from his friend, cousin Mr. Patel. I have five Patels in my files from various motels. That's about $3600 for everything, carpet, mattresses, chairs, the lobby for basic extraction. If he goes for the deluxe, another $300. I am 99% certain I have this job. I will start around 9am and clean until 9pm. I always sleep in the first room I cleaned at the end. Then work 8am to 9 pm the second day. The third day I'll work 8am until noon, get paid in cash and go home.
