5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic, 13 Nov 2009

Jack Macyntire (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor (Paperback)

Brilliant, brilliant book. Superb not only for starting your own cleaning business but for starting your own business of any kind. Choke-full of really good advice and counsel. The guy is a hustler, has done it before and it shows. I've taken so much good advice from this book, for any business that I might try to set up. It was a pleasure to read in its own right and I've greatly benefited from it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Starting a Cleaning Business, 5 May 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor (Paperback)

Don Aslett covers many of the major points that anyone who wants to start a business should consider. He has obviously gained a thorough knowledge of the subject through many years of practical experience in the business. As a cleaning contractor who started in the same way as Don I disagree with some of his views regarding hiring and motivating staff although this may because of the different countries where we work (Reviewer resides in the UK). He advises buying products from local suppliers in order to recieve a good reliable service. This is always more expensive for the contractor and does not guarantee good service.His points regarding overspending on items such as vehicles etc is well founded and his advice is generally sound. It is an interesting read although to gain more knowledge on the subject an aspiring cleaner/entreprenuer will need to know much more about the subject before considering embarking on a cleaning career and setting themselves loose on an unwary public. He has covered the subject in other books he has written and this may be found there. All things considered his book is readable and quite informative and generally quite good value for your dollar.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not easily understood., 27 April 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor (Paperback)

While the book does give a lot of valuable info to one starting out in the service business, it is not explained in enough detail. It leavea me with a lot of questions that I still can't find answers for. It should be followed by a book that will provide the answers to the serious minded service person. J. J. Robinson Virgina
