I get people asking "Guess that spot wouldn't come out?"
I reply, I don't know yet, I'm just vacuuming. I get comments like that all the time, after vacuuming or after prespraying and grooming.

Had one guy tell me it looked better than the last guy got it, I had only vac'd, pretreated and groomed at that point.

Were you singing with your headphones on again? You know how that keeps the neighbors awake. 5 miles is a little louder than usual though.

A guy asked me the other day if I used tm equipment. Then he asked me "is your truck going to leak oil all in my driveway like the last company?" I don't blame him for asking. Then he asked my price and said you are way too high and I am actually pretty cheap.

I'm setting him up with a REAL Machine, teaching him how to do floors the RIGHT way and setting him up with REAL Chems and sending him up your way. You should be working for him within 6 months :mrgreen:

Apartment manager, over 20 years ago now, asked if my cleaning could have caused the apartment to have fleas. I explained to her that unless the city water has fleas, that it continued in a closed system, that was heated to 250 degrees, in other words, NO!

The lady that asked me if I was a druggy over the phone could not be there at the arranged time. She ended up leaving the door unlocked and giving me her credit card number :twisted: :roll: :twisted: :roll: .

As I was setting up the customer said, "You have a Vortex don't you? I always wanted to have my carpets cleaned by a Vortex in a box truck!"

... and then the alarm went off and I woke up. I laughed because it was only a dream! :lol:
