Hi, I am just looking at different presoak suppliers and am wondering what people are paying on a cost per wash basis and how much product is being used in oz. looking at single step and 2 - step for touchless iba.

In the states here the cost will depend on the wash package selected. It can vary from 0.40 per wash to around a dollar. If someone tells you(most likely a salesman) that their cost is below that, it means they don't know what they are doing. That cost is for chemical only.

On machines I supply and monitor, the presoak cost is only around 0.10 The waxes are the most expensive part.

The 0.10 was for one pass of high pH soap, friction or touchless. Total cost on a friction is in the 30 to 40 cent range, and about 3 times that for touchless.
