Our economy in Australia isn't in as bad a situation as in the U.S. In the twenty years I've been in business I have never reduced my prices as I have built a business that does not do rental work which is where the price shoppers reside. My customers are very loyal and are in a higher income bracket. As I mentioned the majority ( 60% ) of my income is from insurance company supplied WDR work that has preset rates of pay and they always pay quickly. The guys that always seem to be lowering their prices here are the ones that operate in the lower end of the price scale. Having more than one source of income is a good idea as well as I also do pest control work and tile and grout cleaning.

Only you know what to charge. You have to know what it costs you to operate. Regardless of what others charge that has no bearing on what either you need or what you can get?

Call around and see what others charge. But if all you do is clean then be prepared to work hard. Cleaning is 50% of what i do , along with repairs and water jobs and dyeing and bio cleanup means i work smarter and not harder.]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:41:29 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5965&PID=155343&title=what-do-you-guys-charge#155343 <![CDATA[What do you guys charge... : Only a fool would not lower their...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5965&PID=155342&title=what-do-you-guys-charge#155342 Author: nightrider

Only a fool would not lower their prices in a bad economy.....just make sure that the customer knows he is getting a deal and should take advantage of the bad times and that you're in the same boat as him, so by working together the customer can save and you can earn a living. IF YOU DON"T.....THE NEXT GUY WILL.

I charge $38.50 per room ( 16m2 ) to pre vacuum with the Dyson then steam clean using a truckmount but the majority of my income is from water damage restoration. Whatever you do dont charge low or you will be working your ass off to make no money.]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:11:18 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5965&PID=155339&title=what-do-you-guys-charge#155339 <![CDATA[What do you guys charge... : Fill out some of your profile.....]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5965&PID=155336&title=what-do-you-guys-charge#155336 Author: John L

.....Your wife wears the pants in your house, she's the man.....you're the woman looking to occupy all your spare time between dusting, and vacuuming.....hope she bought you a dishwasher to protect those dainty hands of yours. I was working on a milktruck in 1965 for 2.50 /day at 12 years old.....cause that's when I became a man.........one day it will be your turn.

As far as I can see all the money come out of your wifes a$$.....she is the worker bee.....you are the Queen bee..........if there is any money comming out of your a$$ it'd from those lonely guys at the gay bar slipping you a fifty from time to time.
