He said majority of people out there are going
to hard wood and tile. Which of course there is
work to be done on those surfaces to but he said
as far as carpet goes, he wouldn’t start another
one.
Im curious to hear thoughts from others on here
about it. I wonder if thats more of a issue in
more wealthy areas? Here in Michigan I feel like
theres still a good chunk of carpet in the houses
we currently service for window cleaning.
7. Would you hire a felon?
By Rob Allen
Question. Would you hire someone for a
technician who had 1 felony many years back?
What if it was from a cheating ex-wife who
pressed false charges of grand larceny to prevent
him from seeing his child? And you know of the
situation? Or no leniency rule?
6. Cheap A$$ Customers … Grrr
By Todd the Cleaner
I had a doozie today, the only good thing about
today was my first job was a $350 that took 2
hours to do. My last job on the other hand..........
The job was a 2000 sq. ft. house. About 70%
of it was tile he supposedly wanted cleaned too.
There were three 12x12 bedrooms, a 15x15
bedroom and an insert of carpet in the living
room 10x15. Hallway was tile.
I go in and quoted him $175 for the 5 rooms.
His response was that he had never paid more
than $89 for carpet cleaning. I kind of laughed as
I said I couldn’t help him for that price.
I lowered my price to $150 and he was still
complaining so I told him I needed to be going.
He mentions my 3 rooms and a hall for $109
coupon. I said sure, the first 3 rooms are $109
and the other rooms are $66 for a total of $175.
He then proceeds to tell me since his hall was
tile he was counting the living room as a hall.
I laughed as I started walking to the door. He
comes back and said will you do it for $125? I
was silent for a minute and finally said ok and I
got to work.
Rooms were all empty and this should have
been a 1.5 hour job. It was white carpet
moderately soiled. It cleaned up beautifully,
better than I even expected with the exception of
5 dye stains I could not get to budge. The stains
weren’t even that bad and you had to be looking
for them to notice them.
Well, I spent close to 2 hours cleaning it which
was fine. As I’m walking out the door with the
wand the wife comes and says \
