I show up to a job where the tenants are complaining about heavy urine odor from their dog. They tell me they already cleaned the carpet with a rug doctor. I click on the UV light and it’s pretty much useless because they had done a very nice job of smearing everything around evenly. After doing my best to identify the heavy areas I total up my costs and hand them the bill for $299. The woman started crying and the guy bellowed over and over he only had $200. Good grief.
I ended up removing 2 rooms of work from my already commercially priced estimate to meet their budget.
So what am I doing? Water clawing about three gallons of Saiger’s Pee Lime and then blanketed the entire carpet with it as well. I’ll then prespray with CitrusForce mixed with SaigerCide and acid rinse.
I told them I could not gaurentee my results since they had already smeared everything around with a Rug Doctor. It’s a glamorous life.
To top it off, I forgot to wear a watch today.
