Making a decent living cleaning carpets and upholstery. Also started doing some hard floors. Commercial work gives me a cashflow during the winter months. |

add on services like duct cleaning can keep some money coming in to. commercial work like steampile said can keep you going as well. but as mr steamer said BUDGET! ------------- nothing is impossable. it just hasn't been done yet. |

WE have a mainly residential business, however this year we have about 30,000 in commercial already, so the balance of the two is what really makes the difference.
Oh, BTW my daughter does most all the cleaning for us, I spend most of my time building and selling and designing machines. I help her on the larger commercial jobs. We have the country club to do next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, about 4200.00 worth. Two short days cleaning carpet and one short day doing grout and tile, I plan on taking pics of the tile cleaning, because it is a FILTHY kitchen that is WAY overdue to be cleaned. ------------- Converting HWE customer to VLM customers for 30 Years! |
