Furniture Stains on Carpet

[Chris Howell]

So what do you do when you have a customer who has furniture dye transfer stains, rust stains, and bleach spots on the carpet under where they keep their aquarium? You dye a small area rug into the carpet. That's what you do!

This was the customer's choice. It was actually their idea, so we did it. They put the aquarium back on it afterwards. They loved it!

That's weird bro. Is there not a closet you could sacrifice on that spot? And would it not still stick out like a sore thumb, even though it looks like a real rug?

Don't take offense please, I didn't mean it in an insulting way. I've just never thought of that route to take

I would just clean it.

 

[Chris Howell]

As I said, Matt. It was the customer's idea. They made the choice. We just went along with their decision. It's their carpet.

 

[Mikey P]

do they place their dog bowls on it?

 

[Chris Howell]

No idea, Miley. They had an aquarium on the carpet there.

Installing a small section of tile would have looked much better and made much more sense with all the moisture in and around the tank.

No know on your abilty but that's just fugly.

 

[Chris Howell]

Customer's idea. Customer's choice.

 

[Chris Howell]

Here's another one that we did. White carpet with dirty traffic lanes. Customer asked if we could dye a runner up the center of the stairs. Sure! Why not?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Better than white steps. The all dark brown might have looked better. ???

Can you idiots not read what the man said?

 

[Chris Howell]

Customer always chooses the color. We are happy to advise them, but ultimately they choose the color.

He needs clients with better taste.

 

[Chris Howell]

It's a shame how some people can only look for something negative to say.

 

[FredC]

I know right? He must not have seen those big ass checks you get!

 

[Bruce Humphrey]

It's a shame how some people can only look for something negative to say. Pure jealousy.

You asked the question and they told you what they think about it , if it's not a praise or a pat on the back then they are all jealous?

 

[Chris Howell]

Just don't understand why some people feel compelled to make a negative comments.

 

[FredC]

Cause some of those jobs look like shit. You can't hit every one of them out of the park............

"Jealousy" lol
Of a guy that can't manage his business well enough he has clients waiting 3-4 months for service? So instead he decides to revive a dead service to an unreceptive market, giging them for $2,000.00 a seat.
Jealous? Hell yes I am!

I wish I could find enough suckers to fill classes at 2k a seat too!

Don't stress over it, it just comes natural to me.

[Chris Howell]

LOL. It's all good. I appreciate the responses.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Seriously that aquarium picture. Lose it in you class presentation. Tacky trailer trash look. They had better options and should have taken them.

[Chris Howell]

I agree. Looks very strange! But we just did what the customer asked us to do.

I'm going to go ahead and venture a guess that Chris's stay on MB is gonna be on the shorter side.

Just not a good mix. He would do better pitching to a more gullible crowd.

Wear on the noses is still quite noticeable. How much more (or less), would replacement have cost?

I commend Chris for composure under fire, but these are reasonable concerns that need to be addressed.

Gullible? Gullible about what?
