I'm actually in the process of going green soon. I don't have direct control over the exact cleaners right now, because my partner does that. I've demanded to him that we go green within the next two months.

Consider the area you're going to be cleaning, and also consider the market you're entering.

If there's a glut industry, you might need to lower your prices, but if you're the only one in your area, you might consider raising your prices.

Just don't under-bid your market value.

Big E,,

Your start up prices are not realistic. Prices like $6.95 a room & $9.95 a room only attract Price Shoppers which are not good customers and it will make you look like a bait & switch company. You should be charging at least .25 - .30 sq ft,,,.15 for scotchguard. You need to set your prices to make money and PROFIT. If you have any more questions or help send me an e-mail
