Add on services

[Tomnorris1989]

Hi guys,

Currently in the carpet and upholstery cleaning business and get a lot of people asking wether I do hard floor cleaning also? Patios, decking driveways etc.

So due to the amount of interest I am going to add it to my list of services. 

Now, the difficult bit. Finding a reliable machine?

I have browsed the forum and the Honda GX360 seems to be popular. I have also see on a YouTube page I follow "dirtydriveaway" a Zeta. I realise the Honda is in the £1200-£2000 range and the zera is in the £4000 range. 

I understand the zeta is 21lpm and the Honda is only around 12-15lpm. How noticeable is this going to be? I'm in an area with quite a low demographic of good earners, so if I'm charging X-amount per square meter, and jack Jones who turns up with his Karcher is 50% cheaper than me gets the work I'm scared to lose the £4000 I've spent on the zeta.

As much help as possible please. 

Links to decent machines between £1000-£2000

Can the GX360 be van mounted?

Can I run let's say a 100ft hose from the machine?

Return to tank bypass on a honda?

Hi I use a Honda gx390 15l with a surface cleaner and draw from a tank.
If you go for the 21l you would definitely have to draw from a tank as most outside taps can't produce enough flow to run the machine:
