With all this environmental talk lately, has got people wondering more than ever about we're using and how it effects everything. Plants, pets, people, etc.
We have some local guys around here that boast no chems or solely scrub brushing everything and then washing. Claiming to do a better job and being more environmentally conscious, etc., etc. I mean they honestly don't do a better job AND they take 5 times as long to get the it done.
How do you guys sell the job using the big bad chemicals. How do you convince people that what you're doing is safe and effective? Excluding ref.'s and referrals...we already do that extensively. Does anyone have any stories to relay?
Thanks,

I use safe chemicals and i demostrate this for the clients. Please understand I use to worry about the word also, i now dont care about the word. I use safe chemicals and never hurt or damage anyone or anything.
I actually love when guys send there MSDS sheets in with the proposal. My education material has buyer beware or those chemicals and tell them of the effects on property and health.
People saw and got and idea of what i use in the denver round table. I might Demo my chems again in MB.
I realize in the residential market this is tough, guys are using strong stuff to cut labor down and often Poluting the eviroment.
In the commercial world clients understand the effects of these chemical. if you are sayin that your using a certain product they may want you to produce reciepts, I have had to give this to a few people in the past.
