DUSTING TIPS

A microfiber dust rag is a great thing to have in your
cleaning supplies. The "microfiber rag" is so effective that you
only need water to clean a hard washable surface. Microfibers in the rag act as the cleaning agent.

This rag can actually reduce the money you spend on cleaners. This "Rag" can be used either wet or dry., A microfiber rag can be purchased almost anywhere cleaning supplies are sold. Always start dusting at the highest point in the room and work your way down to the lower areas last.

For those of you that like the more traditional method of using furniture polisher and an old dust rag ,try using a liquid polisher with a soft cloth when dusting. Old cloth diapers make a good dust rag. A wood polisher that moisturizes and preserves wood while toning down scratches and blemishes on the wood makes an excellent choice for a wood polisher.

Get one with lemon oil and contains a sun-guard. This works great on the routine furniture dusting, but should also be used several times a year on wood cabinets in a kitchen or bathroom. The steam from a shower can dry out a wood vanity or wood medicine cabinet.


When dusting a computer keyboard, try using a toothbrush or a small paintbrush to get between all the keys. An old toothbrush can really get in those tiny, small to reach places.

Feather dusters are another good choice for dusting. One made from ostrich feathers is the best because they are natural.

GET A NEW ACCOUNT!!

If you still want a client for your own office cleaning business then first I would re-read the information on "The Best Proven Methods for Getting Customers" in the Start a Cleaning Bussines Kit.

Then I would work on at least 2 of the methods to get a new customer. You must mix them up and not depend on any one way.

The good news is.. that even in this economy, certain businesses
continue to do very well such as doctors, medical, attorneys, and many others.
These are the clients who always employ a private cleaning service
and they will employ yours too! There is lots of bad news on TV these days.

I suppose they are reporting the truth but the truth is also that your office cleaning business Is... Recession-Proof. Remember that because it will serve you well to do so.

You don't have to do anyone any favors when you price an office. You are in business to make money and you can do that with your own office cleaning business.

There are many offices and office buildings in your area right now that are already employing a private cleaning service. Do they know about yours? They should know because one thing leads to another. I could go on about this but enough for now.

Always stay persistant and use different methods on a regular basis.

Frequency Of Cleaning Effects Your Price

WHEN CLEANING HOUSES OR OFFICES
INCREASE OR LOWER YOUR PRICE
BASED ON FREQUENCY

Don't shortchange yourself. Whenever a customer wants you to lower the frequency in which the cleaning takes place, (meaning they want it done 1 time a week instead of 5 times a week)this is always justification for increasing your price for the individual cleaning to be done. Keep that in mind.

The less often you show up to do the cleaning, the more time consuming the
cleaning will be. Sometimes a customer who wants to save money will only
want their home or office cleaned once a week or even once a month.

That is up to them, but it will take you longer to do the job. The cleaning that takes place will require more trash be removed and the restrooms will take longer to clean because they have not been done in a while. So, raise your price for the cleaning whenever someone wants it done less often or you'll wish you had.

EXAMPLE-

If I estimate a job to be cleaned at $90 dollars for an individual cleaning
to be done 5 times a week, but the customer informs me that they only want it done once a month, I would at least double the price and it would be worth every penny!

Also keep in mind that whatever price you agree on with the customer,they are going to expect a good job from you. Make sure you know exactly what they do expect before you give them a price. You don't want to give them a price and then afterwards find out they also expect you to do this and that.
Make sure they look at your service agreement, in the first place, and
you both know what is expected each time you show up to do the job.
