Hey everyone, So I have a job I need to submit an estimate for. This one won't be going through insurance. Fireplace with a leak somewhere in the liner or bricks currently being fixed. 4 areas/rooms affected with varying amounts of soot, in an extremely upscale home. I spent 8 years doing...

Ok thank you very much Todd! Wasn't sure if this was a less is more type situation. Was about to send that estimate out, changing it now! Last question, do you do anything different when invoicing for residential vs commercial?

Lost track of this post, thank you everyone for the great responses! Could anyone recommend a good all purpose rinse for the situation I mentioned (ex:doing a house with wool area rug, synthetic carpet, upholstery)? Edit: And I've since stopped stressing about wasted solution lol, ty.

I use housecallpro for invoices/estimates but this question can be for anyone. I've wanted to upgrade my job descriptions for awhile and am curious what every puts in both fields, the 'service' section and 'description' section. For 'service', as an example "Tile and Grout Cleaning..." do you...

Anyway we could combine these deals? If not, are there any combo deals we could do in place of? I'm also interested in purchasing the stone, tile cleaning course as well if that helps.

Hey there, quick question about the Pet Odor/Urine removal cost and UV light. I watched your guys recent video on youtube where you mentioned including the UV free with purchase of the course, and now I see you have the course on sale.

Owner of a 500 PSI Ninja Classic and I have some general operating questions for those using the same machine or portable users in general. The first is how do you guys go about preventing foam in your waste tank? My current protocol is to pour just a bit of defoamer into the waste tank prior...

Ok so in that case you're using an encap product in place of prespray then detergent/rinse combo? Then leaving it at that? I've also always been curious to know if there is anyone out there pre-vacuuming, then spraying an encap product, agitating with oreck (or w/ crb) then laying down a normal...

Hey I know I'm reviving an old one here but I was curious for more insight into your stair cleaning method. So you're simply hitting w/ pre spray, agitating w/ oreck (what color pad/brush), then extracting? Kusg curious because I I get mixed results with stairs. I had a set last week where...

Thank you for the suggestions. Will definitely look into those products and have had my eye on a vapor steamer for awhile, will likely have one by the end of the year. As for the white substance in the last picture, I was looking through the manual I got in the IICRC class and I read that it...

If you all think that the black areas in the pics are the color seal coming up I believe you but it seems odd to me I didn't run into this in the other parts of the house. As for the last 3 pictures, only that one area in the picture has a little bit of white almost rubber looking material...

Hey so I'm just getting into tile and grout cleaning and have using my parents house as practice. I took the IICRC class which was somewhat helpful along with having done a couple small jobs with varying results. I've now cleaned 3 different rooms/areas of my parents house. They've been there...

So for my glass cleaner I went with Betco's green earth product with good results and no more powerful odors. For an all purpose cleaner in residential settings I purchased benefect's concentrated multi purpose cleaner(not the super pricey disinfectant). I also purchased a nice array of...

Besides for carpet cleaning application, I've been thinking about how the use of a CRB on deep/spring cleaning and move in/move out cleaning would really blow people away. Those clients that aren't exactly in need of hwe or that simply don't want to spend the extra $. Either by offering it at a...

Just googled it, looks pretty great. My question would it hold up for commercial use? 6-8 hrs a day, everyday?
