Oops. What a dummy I am, all I can say is glad you guy's don't want to do it, leaves more for me! I guess it makes more sense to run all over town in a $50,000.00 truckunit doing a minimum charge job, tearing down, running to the next job, setting up doing another livingroom diningroom, than running off to the next job, same thing again, yep that's where the real money is, guess I better re-think my operation, and get out of that lucrative carpet appearance management business before I go bankrupt Edited by cleanex |

Cleanex T thiught you were smarter than that, You have no clue about maintenance contracts, maybe theyjust give you push a mop to push around to keep out of everybodys way. Even @ 40,000 Sq Feet /month it takes man hours, plus chemicals, encapsulation brushes are only good for X amount of sq.feet before changing, your cost has to be min. 1.5 cents sq foot, plus, plus, plus and how about the other work you have to do on that contract....................what a dumb dumb Nightrider |

I've been work with Service master a long damn time... I know what a maintenance contract is... I sure love it when people talk to you like your stupid... you said 2000 grand a month cleanex... that means your going to clean all in the month... you said it not me... you didn't say 400 hundred bucks you said two GRAND for the month... or maybe I DID NOT UNDERSTAND |

nobody said they didn't understand maintenance contracts... I SAID IT IS NOT WORTH IT... if you can't understand not worth it then its hard to explain, nobody ever cleans if it's not worth it.. a wand stroke is a wand stroke for me Edited by MR. STEAMER |

If you don't understand commercial maintenance contracts than it is hard to explain, nobody evers cleans the entire 200,000 sq ft at anyone given time, it is done on a preplanned cycle and the most that would ever be done any one month would be about 40,000 sq ft. We have contracts MUCH larger than 200,000 sg ft and we love them, no problem. just steady case flow Dennis I know it was not a compliment, but I was being nice and thanked you anyway!!!!!!!!!!!! |

It is great Cleanex.... have you ever cleaned 200,000sq ft it's not a baby boy job... and all the little complaints here and there. 2 grand for all that work.... not worth the man labour and headache. that could take a few days even with truck mount. I rather do 4 or 5 small commercial jobs at .20-.45 cents... less work... less headache |

It wasn't really to be taken as a compliment.
I guess the MOTO moniker was a bit premature!
Oh well. |

Penny a sq ft per month is not bad. 200,000 sq ft office at a penny a sq ft=$2000.00 per month Only about 20% is ever cleaned on any given month=40,000 sq ft That equates to .05 cents a sq ft for a maintneance procedure, and that goes on for month after month, year after year, makes sense in my world.

Encapsulation is another tool in commercial carpet maintenance, works well, it fits in somewhere between bonnet and hwe cleaning methods. Detergent is very expensive compared to other methods, but production times are much better than hwe, but a bit slower than the bonnet maintenance system. Try it amazing results.

Nightrider on the other boards they encap everything. I think they have gotten rid of their washing macnines and encap their clothes.

I've seen it in action on a video and was impressed with the results, but I find there are limitations as to how dirty of a carpet it will clean........Restaurant grease FORGET IT, heavely tracked down dirt in traffic areas, Not So Good Either although in general I think it's good to very good Nightrider |
