Just when you think you have seen it all.

I have been in the cleaning business for a long time and this is a new one on me. I found a rug laying outside in the rain by the door to the lobby of our main drop-off location when I arrived at 6:30 this morning. The attached note was rolled up inside of it:

The rug actually didn't look all that bad, though I didn't unroll the entire thing yet. I have certainly seen a lot worse!

People, for some reason, think we’re ashamed of them making their carpets dirty. I always tell them, thank you.

It’s the same thing as dirty laundry. They never apologize when they need to go to the laundromat. Lol. I’ll never understand why they apologize to us.

 

[Mikey P]

Love the pen change

No phone number?

 

[Brian H]

I blacked out the name and phone number.

 

[Mikey P]

I suspect he's afraid to show his face because he's wanted for kidnapping charges.


I would check that rug for human urine....

 

[Old Coastie]

“...and so is the dog.”

LOL

 

[Jim Pemberton]

My son would have written something like that....

When turds are stuck to the rug or carpet, they should be ashamed

you find all kinds of things rolled up in rugs... dirty underwear, jewelry, money, dog turds...

You are right, all kinds of thins. I have even seen live mice.

One of my early jobs in our cleaning company was picking up and delivering rugs. I got used to urine running down my back at times, but once there were cockroaches....

At what point into the rug fag career does the normal human realize his mistake?


Took me about 8 or so big Chinese....

It will wear your arms, back and body out fast.

I just never appreciated rugs enough to enjoy cleaning them. I think you have to like them to enjoy the work. I felt like it was punishment, hot hard, smelly work. I'd rather clean upholstery, less piss, a few more boogers but I can handle it.

I enjoy rug cleaning. I hate all the cheap viscose, polyester shag and other ridiculous things they call rugs. I love the fine Persian and other rugs that come my way. I had one large order a few years ago of antique, mostly middle Eastern rugs. I have never seen such beauty and artistry. When you understand how much effort goes into these rugs, you appreciate them even more. It gives me a lot of satisfaction that I can clean and these rugs and bring them back into use.

 

[Mikey P]

For me it was like pressure washing concrete..

Fun for the first 10 minutes

Not really. I know the history and while very interesting it doesn't lighten the weight for me as I drag a wet rug across the floor to hang.

I used to like the looks of them but now find they seem dated unless the are light in color. The dark rich reds, blues and black look as old and dated and out of style as I am.

So jaded.

I just spent too much time cleaning rugs. You can glamorize it all you want but the reality is that it is hard work.

 

[Brian H]

We love cleaning rugs!!

You have a much better system!

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah, you really never know what you'll find....

damn Jim, has that clip been shown in the RF circles all this time without me catching on?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Not that I know of.

I think using it as a reference takes my odd sense of humor and obscure collection of historical information to put those together for the subject at hand.

Kinda like mowing the grass for the first time...
or firing up the snowblower on the first snowfall.

After that it just becomes another job.

Cripes DJ, a recent issue of Architectural Digest featured traditional Oriental rugs as the next big thing in interior design. So... they're baaaack.

Uhhh uhhh!

Rugs will always be with us and I would agree on their popularity with so many hard surfaces. But for the GenX and Millennials to want grandma's rug?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Like crown molding and oak. NOT
