Most of my work is within 15 minutes of my home.
Although yesterday & again today I traveled a long distance, 30 minutes each way to the job.
Yesterday was a leather lounge suite.
Today was an up-market hotel with Sisal carpet
I did this same Sisal last year when no other CC'er in Cairns would touch it, I was recommended by a firm over 1,500 miles south of me.
I can't really give an idea of time for each because our work ranges from Leather furniture cleaning, to residential carpet, upholstery & mattress cleaning, commercial carpet as well as commercial leather cleaning.
With our commercial carpet cleaning, our jobs range from one hour, to over the Christmas break, I may work up to sixteen hours a day on large contract work that we've been doing with the Cimex for over 13 years.
We also clean Oriental rugs at home as well as leather clothing, both of which are delivered to us & picked up from us, so no driving involved.
Twice a month we go to distant areas, about 1.5 - 2 hours drive where we do leather upholstery & if people have clothing to be cleaned, we take this home & deliver back the following week.
On these trips, we may stay overnight one or even two nights. When we do, we also clean the clothing after our days work and drop back the following day.
For the clothing, we tell people that we will be at a certain area for one hour on a specified day, so they can bring it to us & again pick it up from there.
We have three areas like this, so each area is serviced quarterly.
We like these "country runs", as it breaks the boredom of the same place, day in, day out, plus my wife has many Filipino friends that always wants us to stay there overnight so they can catch up.
