Who calculates pre-spray cost...LOL John L you've gone crazy.
there is lots of things you can do to save money..
Use premium gas...better milage better for your van
make sure the tire pressure is correct
don't use soap.
I just buy chemicals and use chemicals...

John
you aint making much money that's why you're so worried about how much you spend.
I would never spray 2 gallons of prespray in only 2 rooms. 2 gallons does the whole house with the chemicals I use.
Price is not my only concern though with chemicals in fact it is my last concern.
I just need my supplier to have the stuff on hand at all times.
I suspect your customers nickle and dime you so you in turn then nickle and dime your supplier.
Me??? I want everybody to make money and feed their kids.

What so funny foo? Almost $4 everytime that 2gal's goes empty.. On trashed out carpet you could empty that 2gal within spraying 2rms man..! Sure its no big deal when you make a few hundred on the job or more but its called :
"BUSINESS MANAGEMENT".. The "bottomline"..
How about $1 for 2gals and it works awesome on the nasties..
Look at the whole picture KenOK.. So all you smarta$$'s are spending 5 thousand dollars more than me per year on prespray.. Whos laughing now?

It costs more to drive to the job than the cost of the pre spray.

Plus the nastier jobs I dont need to add anything to it, it works for the nasty jobs as is, maybe an oxygen booster.
I dont need to convince you, but thought I would try to help someone out.

That may be, but I havent come across many things that I cant get out. I have never really hurt due to that. Let's see $3.78 and that 2 gallons will prespray a job that brings in close to lets say a $400 job (likely more). Even if all my chems cost that much, that is one heck of a profit margin. And Like I said the results are worth it. I love to hear the responses of my clients...how much they love the way their carpets look compared to the last guy who did their carpets.

Jay.. Do you have any idea what the cost comes to per gal in your mixed prespray? OK let me explain they say only $0.68 cents per gal.. Thats incorrect.. They forgot to add S&H cost into that.. That money your paying for the chemical also..If you buy the 6lb jar x 16oz per lb = 96oz
Add about $8 for S&H so 6lb jar is $60.85 divided by 96oz = $0.63 cents per oz of chem not mixed..
It says mix 2oz per gal for prespray.. OK you have a 2gal pumpup..
Mix 4oz x .63 cents per oz = $2.52 everytime you empty that 2gal pumpup..
 You might have to add 2 more oz @ .63 oz = another $1.26 making that 2gal pumpup cost you $3.78!!
for the nastier jobs..That is way too expensive for a prespray for me..

Try www.Magicwandcompany.com I get 95% of my stuff there. For a prespray I use their Powdered Power Prespray. It is good stuff. I aslo spray it from a pump up sprayer (that saves the life of my extractor).
Order their video they give out. It is a real lesson in Carpets!
I do not work for them, I just use a ton of their stuff.
They also have samples you can try out.
