This man had emergency cleaning to do on a private jet

Owning a private jet is an expensive luxury.

Forget the initial purchasing price, the jet also has maintenance costs involved too, with one of the most important being cleaning.

To give an insight into the world of keeping jets spick and span, creator udetailer showed an example of a jet cleaning that took priority.

“I got this call last night and had to cancel on my daughter’s first day of school.

“We just moved to a new city and she asked me to pick her up from her first day, but this client told me it was an emergency,” he said.

According to the detailer, the owner said that the carpet needed shampooing immediately.

As the call was an emergency, the detailer explained that he needed to charge the customer a ‘rush’ fee.

“He told me to charge him whatever we wanted as long as we could get every last speck of sand out of the carpet,” he explained.

The creator described how a full interior detail service plus a carpet shampoo was performed, and 70 percent was removed before the generator lost power.

In the end, the total job took a whopping five hours and cost $9,000 plus $2,000 for travel and a rush fee of $3,000.

Online, people reacted to the private jet fees and situation.

“I know he’s joking, but I can imagine a parent doing this,” said one user.

“So every client is an emergency,” asked another person.

Now, it is important to note that the detailer is most likely joking when it comes to the scenario of saying no to his daughter, but he wanted to show the urgency of his trade.

“In this industry, we don’t say no to clients, especially emergencies,” he explained.

Private jets come in all different shapes and sizes

When it comes to snapping up private jets, they come in all manner of sizes and engine strengths.

From huge, sprawling aircraft to smaller planes, the possibilities are endless.

For example, Drake transformed Air Drake into a renovated $200M ‘castle in the sky’ and even offered a rare look at the new interior.

Plus, there’s also a revolutionary teardrop-shaped private jet made in Texas that will make billionaires feel guilt-free.
