And Another Life Lesson today in Carpet Cleaning

[Mark Saiger]

Well another life lesson today.

Got done early, thanks to our Zipper Wands on a elder care facility...

Was going to knock off early because we have been putting in so many hours.

Had a person call who cancelled their cleaning a month ago.

Asked if we could get them in today. Elderly couple... Figured tried to do themselves and failed... Well they did try a bit...

But Important part...

Lady of the house had a severe stroke the last time we were to be there.

Almost didn't take the job figuring they were messing with us... Boy I felt bad when got there and heard the story of her fighting for her life and being life flighted 4 hours away!

Having carpets and upholstery cleaned that day.... Pretty trivial.

Me being there today... Priceless for them and MY learning...

Never assume something else I would say... Thank you for the lesson today.

Hope I am a better person!

And bless this son in law of mine Aron Jewettwho walks through anything for us! Had told him we were going to be done early....he knocked it out of the park too on this job!

I know I've been guilty of making assumptions without knowing the facts. A good reminder Mark!

Mark I have read hundreds of your posts and admired your knowledge and willingness to share it.

Now I see compassion. Very cool.

Thanks Stephen....

and I have read your posts, and especially a couple tonight that are truly gems!

Thank you for being here....

I look forward to following you more.

Your post about helping your new employees was great by the way! (Cleaning at Friends and Family) We have done that, but not early enough now that I think about it....

Thanks again

I don't see how you guys clean contours well with that sapphire tool.

BTW, nice post, Mark!

We actually just let the tool sit there on the couture with the trigger pulled, and it will do the flushing for you....

Takes a bit of practice to get the right spot on the tool, but have found how to make it work.....



And thank you for the compliment

Hey Mark, it just seems that you can't keep a good vacuum seal for best extraction but I guess you've found that you can get enough extraction on contours even if you aren't creating a good seal against the fabric, or, perhaps you have devised ways to cup your free hand around the vac orifice to create more of a suction chamber.

And then you wipe it down with a clean towel to finish it.

Little bit of all mentioned....but finding can rinse while sitting in place then go over dry....kind of rinse...then dry...same again....
