How do you groom cleaned carpet without walking on it? Or is grooming carpet a dumb idea too?

I only groom if I apply protector.
And since I never sell protector, then yeah I think it’s a dumb idea.

Do you leave beautiful patterns for your customers to marvel at?

I'm 50/50. Sometimes realtors like the wand marks to show that it's been cleaned.
I think he’s referring to bringing in that carpet rake after you clean like the wand marks from dry passing isn’t enough
Maybe if I only had one job/day, I’d rake it. But since I’m balling out 3-6/day, nope.

3-6 a day! Damn! I don't think I've ever done more than 3 in a day. That's awesome!I think he’s referring to bringing in that carpet rake after you clean like the wand marks from dry passing isn’t enough

We sometimes do 8-10 homes a day on our maid service side, but that's usually with 4 people working in 2 teams.

Jim...I believe the broom remark was made over someone walking up to bum a cigarette from me......HOWEVER there have been hostile incidents over being out of walk paper on more than a few occasions!

Jim.....everyone calls it "brown paper"
When actually its green.... thin poly coated on both sides used in body shops.

Groom what a dumb idea.......triangles SHOW Mrs Phifft that every square inch has been cleaned!
I try to keep it at 3/day as well. The busy time of the year when people start begging to get it cleaned last minute is when I clean up to 6/day. I normally skip lunch and get home around 7-8pm. I promise I'm not bragging. I hate those days

I know my portable slows us down big time, but damn even with a truckmount that sounds like an olympic sport. Do you work in a relatively small service area? Crushing it..
about a 25mile radius

Patterns do have a nice effect. Part of me feels like a bad boy not grooming it out so I've been doing patterns for photos but then grooming afterwards. Maybe I'll ask what Mrs. Pickles would like left behind, or just go for it and leave it patterned more often...

I mean you being chased off a porch by an outraged woman of color for doing less than your best.
Probably more likely to have happened to an employee of yours of course.

It probably happen to Bob, but not for cleaning. Probably for impregnating a daughter.

OHH NO...seriously.......they all loved me.....when I was a kid I would go to the local golf course and pick nite crawlers off the greens. . I would set up a little nite crawler selling stand and sell the worms to people headed to the river down the road! Almost all black....I mean you being chased off a porch by an outraged woman of color for doing less than your best.
