Lots of advertising and marketting involved, you have to ask yourself is it worth it or are you better off building a premium wondow round. You might be able to get 60 quid a room or a big job here and there but can you get it consistently day in day out? Not for a good few years and a big investment you won't.

It's quite worrying that you've been trading 6 years with a karcher puzzi. I don't know what kind of training you've had that has advised you that machine is suitable for the task. I'd be embarrassed to turn up to someone's home with one of those. Its hasn't got the pump pressure to penetrate the fibres or the suction to remove the cleaning fluid that you will be leaving behind attracting more dirt.

No I haven't been trading with a puzzi for 6 years. That was my first one that I started out with on my own. I had to Start somewhere I didn't have 2 grand when I started. Then I made money and moved into other things and upgraded everything I had. Don't do residential anymore really cos of people wanna pay peanuts. I'll have to buy a puzzi again lol.

We do it, have a look on Ebay they are always selling machines and get some real bargains . we use prochem steam pros. as for pricing get an electric measure and price by the metre, the customer will think you are a professional when you whip one out and start to measuring a room.

How do you turn up to do commercial work with that, I would laugh you off site if you pulled that one from the back of your van, the same thing goes with people who use kercher power washers to clean patios, you get what you pay for im afraid.
