Pricing on stain protector?

I’m with Dennis, half the price of cleaning or .12/Sq Ft works out closely if your charging .25/ Sq

Bryan,
My price has always for 10 out of the last 15 years has been .12 a SF. Before that was .10.

It seems that most that charge by the room, use 1/2 the cost of cleaning. Most that charge by SF charge 10, 12, 14, or 15 cents a SF.

If you don’t measure it’s easier to just charge half the price. If you already have the SF it’s easier charge by the SF.(square foot) It’s what your comfy with.

i usually price mine at 10 dollars a room/hallway and couches and chairs and stuff usually depends on how much fabric there is to protect size, etc. i had a real hard time sellin the stuff when we started. we were trying to sell at 12 cents a sq/ft but that didn’t work. i have found also though that if i clean say 3 rooms ill tell them it’s normally 10 dollars a room but if you have me protect all 3 rooms ill do it for 25. it doesn’t take that much protectant to do those 3 rooms depending on the size. i wasn’t sure if i was making money on it that way so i kept track on the last couple bottles i used. one bottle i actually sold for $95 by the time i used it all up. that’s not bad considering they cost $40. i know i can push it and make more though.

I am currently at $0.10 per sq ft but after the first of the year it will go up to $0.12. Cleaning costs will go up also. I approved a raise for myself. Approx 95% of my customers get the protector. I just figure it in on the sheet. I used to ask the customer, I assume you want the stain protection? The vast majority said yes so I just went to assuming they wanted it all the time. No one ever questions it on the invoice, Matter of fact a lot of them ask to make sure I applied it.

We usually use about one ounce per 20 square feet. So we would use about 15 oz.
