When it comes to encapsulation (OP) or bonnet cleaning, pricing can vary based on factors such as your location, the size of the job, and the specific services you offer.

Here are some common approaches to pricing.

Charge by the Square Foot: Many professionals charge per square foot. The rate can range from $0.15 to $0.30 per square foot, depending on factors like the level of soiling, the type of carpet, and additional services provided.

Charge by the Room: Some cleaners prefer to charge by the room, especially for residential jobs. Rates might range from $50 to $100 per room, but this can vary based on your local market and the size of the rooms.

Combination Pricing: You can also offer a combination of both square footage and room-based pricing. For example, you might charge a base rate per room and an additional fee per square foot for heavily soiled areas or larger spaces.

Consider Additional Services: Factor in additional services such as spot treatment, stain removal, or deodorizing into your pricing. These services may be charged separately or included in a package.

Evaluate Local Competitors: Research the pricing strategies of your local competitors. This can give you insights into the market rates in your area, allowing you to set competitive yet profitable prices.

Custom Quotes: For larger or more complex jobs, providing custom quotes based on an assessment of the specific requirements can be a good approach. This allows you to tailor the pricing to the unique needs of each client.

It's often beneficial to provide transparent pricing and communicate the value of your services to clients. Additionally, periodic adjustments to your pricing may be necessary as your business grows and market conditions change.

The proper chemical for VLM is called Releasit call Kleenkuip they probably have it.

Use cotton pads not synthetic bonnet. The cotton pads extract dirt where others just move dirt around.

 

ps. dont snort enzall like the Americans do, its bad bad stuff.

Do you guys charge by the square ft or by room, and how much in average? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks,   Gaitan Ps. I am located in Ontario.

And only buy chemicals from companies that don't make bonnet cleaning chemicals which by process of elimination leaves us with ......NONE!

No company worth its weight in gold would ever make chemicals for non professionals.

And be sure to only buy from outlets that don't cater in any degree to the bonnet jockeys.

Right?  Sounds like this is the only way to demonstrate a cleaner is a true professional.

Never stop short of the goal of offending your opposition.  If it has worked in the middle east for 5000 years it can work in this industry as well.

moving the dirt around with a synthetic bonnet went out almost 10 years ago.

if you want to spray buff floors then buy a buffer.

if you want to be a professional carpet cleaning technician then use professional tools.

 

my dentist could use a drill from Home Depot on my teeth but he doesnt he uses professional tools made for his industry.

 

my auto mechanic uses the proper tools as does my plumber.

 

Sir do you want to be a pro or a hack?
