It was actually my best paying overall job yet, 2 sweet old ladies in a senior citizens community that wanted all of their carpet, upholstery, and tile floors cleaned. When we first spoke on the phone I realized if I didn't offer everything they were asking for I'd likely lose out on my biggest paying job yet. So I did some research on hard surface cleaning, got some basics together, and went for it. It went well, broke the ice for me. However I am not advertising that service until I become a bit more equipped and knowledgeable.
Hard surface cleaning is a gateway to new business, higher tickets with existing clients, and another good reason for them to not look anywhere else for cleaning services. I'm heading to Mike and Bryan's multi-surface training in December but I cannot wait until then to be equipped and start offering basic hard surfacing cleaning services. So I'm learning what I can online and practicing wherever I safely can. I imagine I'll learn so much more having several months of experience when I get to Texas anyway.
With all that said I have been going back through old posts here, digging through Mike's YT channel and manual, and speaking to suppliers. However further information on surface id, appropriate chems and Ph for the various surfaces, spot treatment methods, and more seems to be sparse, at least compared to carpet, upholstery, and rug cleaning. Mike's YT channel and manual has been the most helpful so far. Really great stuff. But I still have questions... Any informational resources that folks are willing to share? Should I just pay for an online course for now then go get experiential training later this December? Thoughts? Thanks!
