Ok dont give me a hard time for stealing an idea but I think you all will have better stuff to share. I already asked your best memory, now I want to know this. What is the funniest memory or experience you had while cleaning? @Old Coastie or @Willy P would you do the honors and start us off.

On one job, I hired a close friend, a retired Marine named John. We were trying to rehabilitate a badly worn VCT floor and had been at it two nights. On the third night we wet back back to finish up and the floors really looked splendid.

"Man, it looks great! John, does it look harder and shinier than it did last night?"

He never missed a beat: "Yup, just like your head!"

SOB was giggling all evening at his own wit.

We were installing some new sheet vinyl in a kitchen/dining room. The area was all troweled out and we were waiting a bit for the glue to flash off a bit so we didn't get as many pockets from off gassing.. The lady had gone outside. She wasn't fluent in English and we weren't fluent in Hindi. I noticed her coming towards the dining area french door and shouted for her to stop, but too little, too late. She got 3 strides in, tried to hit the brakes and went down in the glue.I looked at my work partner and damn near died trying not to laugh, helping her out of the mess. She was fine when we got her back outside and SHE started laughing. We all laughed ourselves silly.

The best cleaning ha ha was when I was cleaning for a couple that had 8 cats. The husband was the cat lover, the wife not so much. She asked my for tips to not have so much fur on the carpets. I jokingly suggested she shave the cats but her husband might not like coming home to "8 shaved pussies", I know I turned bright red and started stammering out apologies as that didn't come out the way I intended. She looked a bit stunned. They're still customers years later, and she always teases me about that.


I lead a dull life.

Years ago, I had one very sexy customer who was coming on to me as soon as her husband left the house. I always pretended not to notice, even though she had lots to notice and didn't mind showing a bit. She was on one of my referral networks. She asked me to clean a leather sofa but I declined as it was too dry and cracked to safely clean. A week later she comes over to her girlfriends house, where I am busily cleaning a leather sofa. She says, "so you'll do Cathy but you won't do me."

Most recent was when Gennys thongs fell out of my pant leg as I was walking through the custys home.

Or the condom we found under a couch while the custys was standing right there.

Lots of good times.

My son and I were on a job and I had the vac hose laying on the floor sucking air while I was pre spraying .. hes walking towards the wide open vacuum hose .. not paying attention .. wearing booties .. getting too close for comfort and I yell out," Dont let that suck on your bootie !!" He starts silently cracking up .. the 2 ladies in the kitchen went silent and then I realize what I said !! Was some funny shit though !!
