Well, once again I got another urine hole. The owners are trying to sell the house and wanted the carpets cleaned. I walked in and was immediately hit with dog and urine odor. The carpet looked horrible. The last renter had lived their 8 years and never had the place cleaned.
After doing my inspection I flat out told them I couldn’t clean the place and they really needed to repalce the carpet. I pointed out the heavy wear and the delaminated seams. I explained the wear portions will alway look dark.
The guy looked totally distraught and asked if I could just make it look better. I said I could clean it, but the carpet was just so worn out, they need to rip it out. Reluctantly I agreed to “clean” it and made clear it was against my better judgment. I did not do any urine work. It just wouldn't have been worth my time or his budget.
I almost quit and walked out after the first room. I was just so pissed at this neglected worn out poly carpet.
It’s really hard for me to walk away when the owner is pretty much begging my to do anything I can to make it look better. I really tried to walk away. It did come out better than expected, but I know it’s still loaded with urine. All is documented in the invoice and I made him initial next to the part agreeing it should be replaced.
