Steves journey began in 2018 after he left the real estate industry to start a commercial cleaning business. With a limited budget, he purchased some basic equipment, a vehicle and voila! Super Steves Cleaning Team was born. One of his first regular cleaning jobs was a medical center that he tackled every Saturday after it closed at 12:30 PM. Steve vividly recalls the arduous task of mopping the center's expansive floors, which took him a whopping hour and ten minutes each time. Despite using a trusty mop and bucket, he soon realised that this approach wasn't efficient enough to keep up with the demand. 

Steve's business journey took a crucial turn when he realized the importance of working smarter, not harder. This realisation pushed him to explore the possibility of using machines to help him handle the job. After conducting extensive research, that's when Steve discovered the i-mop. "I was watching videos and reading reviews all the time. After about 6 months, I woke up one day and thought, just buy the machine!" Since then, Steve hasn't looked back.

Using the i-mop floor scrubber has made a significant impact on the businesses' cleaning efficiency. For instance, at the medical center, he managed to cut his cleaning time down from an hour and ten minutes to just 23 minutes! He is now the proud owner of both the i-mop XL and i-mop XXL. His favourite part? The fact that he's able to lay down 100% fresh water each time he cleans, resulting in floors that are 70% cleaner compared to a mop and bucket.

During our conversation, Steve passionately explains the significant difference in cleaning efficacy between using a traditional mop and bucket versus the i-mop. "With a mop and bucket, you're not actually cleaning the floor at all! In fact, you're only cleaning the floor by 30% because all you're doing is recycling the water by putting the dirty water back on the floor, then back in the bucket!". It's clear that the i-mop has become an essential tool in Steve's arsenal, especially in settings where hygiene is of importance.

He also recalls a time when he was tasked with cleaning carpets for a client who was moving into a new house. With no power available, some tradies opted to clean the garage floor using a mop and bucket. Steve knew this would be a bad idea, as the bad weather conditions and excessive water would leave the floor wet and unusable until the following morning. Instead, Steve offered to use his battery-operated i-mop to clean the floors. The tradies were impressed with the results - not only were the floors impeccably cleaned, but they were also able to paint them just half an hour later! This wouldn’t have been possible without the i-mop.

When we spoke to Steve, it was clear that quality was at the heart of everything he did. From the quality of his cleaning to the quality of his machinery, he always strives for excellence. And when it came to choosing a floor scrubber, he made sure to invest in nothing but the best.

Steve personalised his i-mops with his bright logo and business name, ensuring that even on large job sites, everyone knows it's Super Steve at work. But his commitment to quality doesn't stop there. He treats his equipment with the utmost care, even going as far as to say, "If you look after your equipment, your equipment will look after you."

Steve's philosophy is a reminder that investing in quality and taking care of your equipment can pay off in the long run. It's evident that his i-mops will continue to bring in revenue for him, and his attention to detail will set him apart from the competition.

His success in the cleaning industry is a testament to both hard work and dedication. The commitment to quality and attention to detail have paid off in the form of happy clients and increased revenue. One of the key takeaways from Steve's story is the importance of word-of-mouth advertising. By providing the best clean possible and going above and beyond for his clients, Steve has built a reputation that speaks for itself. But he's also found that using machines like the i-mop can help him achieve even better results in a shorter amount of time.

So, if you're looking to succeed in your own industry, take a page out of Steve's book and let machines help you get the best possible outcome. And above all, remember Steve's philosophy that "quality lingers long after the price is forgotten."

By investing in quality equipment and committing to delivering the best possible service, you too can build a successful and thriving business.
