Make good money soft washing AND enjoy an abundance of happy customers!

March 10, 2023

Many soft wash cleaning contractors approach soft washing as a series of one-off jobs. They treat a property, get paid, but then never call back to their customers.

Is this really the way to run a profitable soft washing business? 

No! The secret to building a long-term, successful and highly profitable soft washing business is to create relationships with your customers, which lead to REPEAT BUSINESS using the Benz "Clean & Maintain" softwash systems.

It's easy to sell customers on the idea of an ongoing maintenance programme, because who doesn't want a permanently clean property?

All that's required from you, as a soft wash cleaning contractor, is to:

a) make a note of the date of the first clean, what was done and which products were used.

b) make a note in your diary to phone or call your customer after 6-36 months (domestic properties) or 6-12 months (commercial premises), after obtaining their permission to stay in contact.

c) phone or visit your customer to arrange a time to do the work, which will usually be a simple and quick "spray and go" application of Benz Bio Cleanze.

The time interval between softwash treatments will depend on

• The surface being treated (eg patio, wall render, roof).
• How well customers look after their property (e.g. clearing up leaves and grass cuttings, keeping trees trimmed).
• What the local environment is like (e.g. overhanging trees, sheltered areas)
  
  

This ongoing "Clean & Maintain" approach is great for your customer, excellent for your customer's property, and profitable repeat business for you as a softwash cleaning contractor.

Win-win-win in other words. What could possibly be better for everyone?

This high level of professional service sets a softwash contractor apart from the contractors who just "take the money and run". And even if they do return, continual spraying with high-strength hypo is a harsh way to treat a property.

We've received awful reports of the damage this practice has caused, which is entirely unnecessary if they were to have used Bio Cleanze for ongoing "Clean & Maintain" treatments.

Quick tip: A softwash contractor who is willing to revisit a customer in itself sends a message of trust and confidence to their customers. And it's the trust and confidence that customers have in a soft washing contractor that will give the contractor repeat business for many years to come.
