Any opinions on trash can cleaning?

I detail cars from time to time and I have a pressure washer. With summer coming up soon I want to make a bit of extra cash and seeing that i already have a presssure washer, I was thinking about cleaning trash cans.

From my limitated research online I found that I could charge 15-20 per bin and finish in 5-10 minutes. I was wondering what the best approach would be for this.

Am I charging too little?

As of now I have not finished my website but I was wondering if I was charging too little, especially for the service I provide.

I have three options as of now, A single exterior clean, a single interior clean, or Exterior plus interior.

These are my prices depending on car type :

  1. Small cars (2 door coupes/hatchbacks) are $25 for a single interior OR single exterior.
  2. Sedans/CUV/Small Trucks (accord/cr-v/Ranger) are $34 for a single interior OR single exterio.
  3. Full size Trucks/Small enclosed trailers are $40 for single interior OR exteriod.
  4. SUV’s/Full Sized Trailers/Other are $50 for single interior OR exterior.
  5. #1 Is $45 for both
  6. #2 is $63 for both
  7. #3 is $75 for both
  8. #4 is $96 for both

As of now, an interior detail includes carpets, floor mats, glass, leather, and a wipe down of the entire interior. An exterior detail includes wash, hand dry, wheels (with gloss if requested), mirrors, wheel wells, and grills.

Im only a beginner entrepreneur and im always looking for some advice so, anything to add?

I don’t know how to remove pet hair efficiently from the carpet, it usually ends with me picking it out one by one which wastes a lot of mine and the clients time.

I tried using dryer sheets but A) it’s very expensive and B) I found that it doesn’t help actually remove the per hair, it just moves it.

if anyone has any tips or product suggestions I’d be happy to hear it!
