How to Wash Mobile Homes as a Business
Washing manufactured homes, mobile homes, can be a lucrative and steady business. Generally Mobile Home owners desire to have their mobile homes washed twice per year. There are many mobile home washing companies who make a very good living and have multiple rigs running. If you currently own a pressure washer you may wish to consider a new business washing mobile home and manufactured houses. The pricing varies from state to state. In nicer mobile home parks you can generally charge $ 82.50 for a Double Wide and $ 102.50 for a Triple Wide. You can add $ 20.00 to clean inside Windows & Screens with the wash. You should consider giving discounts to customers if you can wash two or more mobile homes on same visit; generally 10% off works well and will generally get your customer running thru the park helping sell more services while you work. Also be cognizant that it behooves you to give a Senior Citizen Discount; 10% off. Make them show proof as you can use it as a compliment to their youthfulness, it makes them feel good "Must show proof" is a smart move. Let your customers know you also will clean the Awnings, Rain Gutters, Steps, Debris on top, side structures, walks and sheds. You may also wish to let them know you can clean their driveways, cars and inside windows for an additional charge. We recommend that you put flyers in the club house on the bulletin board and advertise that your employees are clean cut, young men and women that are athletic, all-American, polite and friendly. Happy Washing. "Lance Winslow" - If you have innovative thoughts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; www.WorldThinkTank.net/wttbbs
