Cross Polination of Innovations in the Cleaning Industry
According to the latest edition of Pool and Spa news; the costs of maintaining a pool, maintenance service averages about $30.00 to $150 per month depending on competition, size of pool and area you live in. This seems similar to maintenance costs associated with cleaning of the family cars if you hire out a mobile detailing service or mobile car wash. For this reason we have been studying their industry for parallels and ways to incorporate some of their methodology, software for scheduling and other anomalies associated with that industry for ideas to incorporate into ours.
For instance we like the enzymes methods for cleaning of mold instead of chlorine based products. It works on mold, algae and other organic growth in pools and spas. Many customers request this for pools if they have sensitive skin. And rightfully so since even a shower with Chlorinated water can have a tablespoon and a half of chlorine enter your system through your skin. This is why bromine might be a better solution for hot water environments.
Think what happens when you sit in a spa every night? Chemicals for cleaning vinyl pool bottoms work good on vinyl siding of houses and it is much cheaper to buy the pool stuff then the house cleaner.
The cleaning industry for exterior house washing, auto detailing, mobile car washing share a lot in common and should be cross pollinating their knowledge. Think about it.
