Line item charge for pre-vacuuming alone.

per sq ft. please.

NOT asking for opinions as to whether it needs to be done just looking for a price point.

Thanx

I guess it depends on what it's worth to ya.

If you charge say .30 per sq ft to clean, charge .32 or .34 sq ft to vac and clean. I used to just let my customers know that the carpet will need to be vacuumed before I clean and if they couldn't do it I would be happy to do it, but there may be a small charge for it.

I don't do that anymore, but it worked very well for me when I did.

I add .5 to my packages for it.

 

[sdaws4]

That sounds expensive try .05

 

[Willy P]

I'll toss in the cleaning at .5 cents a square.

 

[sweendogg]

[Dolly Llama]

..L.T.A.

Yeah. 5 cents may not be enough!

According to IICRC standards, pre-vacuuming should always be included in the professional carpet cleaning process.

still an opinion in many eyes

we used to add $.07 before we included it.

 

[Ron Werner]

I've tried breaking it down, I think it would come out to more like 15cents/sf, 40 cents HWE.
I've always included it in the price.
I get so much more out than the custy, even if they have a decent vacuum. $15/room isn't unreasonable per 100sf.

We have a couple clients where we clean just 1 or 2 areas and vac and edge the rest of the house.

We charge .20-.25 for this service

for my apartments if i have to vac i charge $25 and for most work i do thats my price for vacuuming unless its a very large home or office then i just pull numbers out my ass depending how bad it is and how long i think it will take.
