Couch Tip$

[Mike J]

You never know what you will find.

Typical to cleaner than most:


This one, not the case. Looks clean, right? It is the before pic. However...





This was actually the "better" of the 2 pieces I tipped. The first one was a surprise and A LOT more terds flying everywhere. No time for pics, lol.

Reaching blindly into some couches doesn't always work out that well. I have heard of a cleaning tech reaching in and pulling his hand out with a needle and #$%&(*# ^#^$ attached to it. Yuch!!!!!!!!!!

A crevice tool works much better.

cleaned my bankers house, carpet and furniture. Found his daughters bra under the sofa cushion. A What Would You Do moment for sure.

Put it on. Got the moobs for it?

Found lots of bras and panties under the cushions over the years. Mens underwear and socks too. Mainly socks. Just put them aside and keep cleaning. Found lots worse things too but that's for another thread sometime

We had that happen to one our crew once. Thankfully the homeowner was a diabetic, though our guy was really freaked out that he could have AIDS. He tested once a month for the next year just to be on the safe side.

I like the kneel or foot to the edge and using the crevice tool.. This is more reason not to run my hand in the cracks..

Years ago found a wind chime in a sofa…..mOuse turned skeleton.

On another job years ago found porn mags…..old lady warned me not to move the sofa. I insisted…’All part of the cleaning maam’ I said to her. Afterwards I look at her and she looks at me with a grin. From that day forward I remember them mags and the old lady’s smile every time I clean sofas. I no longer move furniture around. I mind my own business.

On another job found a loaded firearm in a sofa. Called the homeowner to come over from the other room…he comes, I pointed to it….he says ‘oh is that where it was, I forgot all about that one’
My mind went blank for a few moments.

Same here. On both events

On another job found a loaded firearm in a sofa.

found one in a recliner.
Colt Detective Special to be exact.
It belonged to her husband "Big Winnie" that passed a few weeks earlier.
I unloaded it and gave it to her

..L.T.A.

I don't move furniture. Go ahead and make me feel bad about it. I don't care.

Spider eggs are under most couches around the legs. People like it when we clean them up.

Wife can't find hers. Although I suspect it's in one of the purses deemed acceptable for gun range with the girls day, I'll suggest looking in the furniture. Thanks!

(At least I know it won't be loaded)

I need to pack a table in the truck with me to clean cushions. What table do you guys use? I'm tired of bending over

My wife just stole my table but it's just a small folding plastic table with metal legs. Light but sturdy. About 2'x3'.

Its a must. Big enough to handle two large seat cushions at the same time cleaning. Full size fold up.

 

[hogjowl]

Only thing I can think of is a card table, but only @Hoody is short enough to use one.

 

[Cleanworks]

This the one I use. Only good for one cushion at a time but saves your back.

 

[hogjowl]

I take that back

 

[SamIam]

I hate when I'm cleaning and I see one of these in the couch or under the couch.


Like come on people put your gun somewhere safe.

I'm with you on this. Unless there is a hospital bed situation involved, I like to stay clear of furniture headaches.

Others have used luggage racks to clean cushions.. I have a 4' folding table that I sometimes forget to pack unless it's heavy upholstery day..

Lady warned me about a lot of dog hair on her furniture; she wasn't lying

 

[bob vawter]

So I pulled back the cushions one time and there was a rubber laying right there....no big deal I jus reached down an sucked it up....went on an didn't give it a thought!

So when I was done an got paid she blurts out... "how dirty was it?.....ohh I wanna see" so she"s standing there and that damn rubber plopped out all fresh like an glisening.....
I couldn't get in my truck quick enough.....

Should I tell my dildo story again?

I also put those white rubber caps on the bottom of each leg WHEN I set up. It is good if customer sees you do this so they know you are careful not to scratch the floor. Just dont want to get blamed for a scratch they notice when you finish, that you did not do. Using a table makes it so much easier to clean the corners and piping. Spin those babies on the table like making a pizza. The other thing to be careful is not to have the table collapse when working. Make sure legs are good and locked. Happened to me twice when I wasnt paying close attention, i.e. head up my ass.
