Florida $6.79 per hour plus commission works god to start out. Let them pay their dues and develop as a cleaner before you give the raises. Normal here in Pensacola is $8.00 oer hour plus commision.
Please don't tell me you start paying your employee(s) at $6.79/hour. Who would in the right want to work for that low? They can go and get a job as a restaurant server/waitor and make $100-$200 a day.
Treat employees fairly, they stand for your company, carpet cleaning is not an easy type of work, pay them what they deserve, techs should be getting min $12-$15 to start. Especially someone with some "work" experience....
Maybe in Pensacola housing is a bit more affordable, most of Florida espeially tampa, orlando, and south florida, you'd have a high turn-around paying someone $6 bucks a hour.
