Got a call for cleaning at a building that not sure if carpets and a work out rubber mat padding could be cleaned to concerned level. New occupant wanted us for the cleaners. We also went in and tested cleanablility in the areas of concern....well, another company got hired by the building owner!

Old trick actually my brother would do when we are doing samples of our work for people, he would spell our company name in the carpet and tell them to match that. Usually would get a call to come take our name out of the carpet.....after other companies received the bid and did the cleaning. :D

Well, got the call today. Company has been trying to match my cleaning on the mats for a few weeks now, and need to be done by tomorrow.

They are also working on the carpets.....I was asked to send out how much it would cost me to come in and fix the carpets...:rockon:


My test areas on the bottom right corner....rest of the mats had just been cleaned again today....

Match that!!!

Now tomorrow I am going to go get the check or a credit card and get paid. Told the other company I do not charge to anyone more (well especially them since I usually have to chase them down for my money!)

Poor carpet cleaners had to sit and watch us tear up their work. We were in and out in 1.5 hours...2 vans,...2 of us...$500 plus tax!

Now we will see how they do around the carpet test patch....:headbang: :smile: :rockon:

I think he said he found Churros from the Magic Kingdom to be better than Costco's..

Never found a bad churro yet. :)

Marty....other company tried to match my cleaning test patch in bottom right....couldn't...

So I got emergency call to come clean the mats and bail them out!

Now tomorrow, I am probably going to have to reclean and fix the carpets they have been messing with too for 2 days.

Winner, winner....tofu dinner!

One of the pics SM in background with a painted RX 20 cleaning. They would go over same area with wand 3 time after RX .

Just got message that they could not match the carpet up to my 8x8 test spot. I didn't even really hit it hard... Lol!

They were using 2 different prespray and doing fresh water rinse... Science says no, no....*

New tenant really PO'd. We might still be in to clean up.*

Life good for us!*

Got the call tonight...new tenant not happy with the SM carpet cleaning job.

Pics don't really do it justice.

Way more obvious in person.

My test patch is the 4 x 4 area to the left of the pole and just behind the pole. It was not that "Striped" when we did it.

Just SM doing their thing over top of the area.

Have no clue what they did to make that white spot in the bottom left corner either!

Probably going in tomorrow after another long day to try and fix this mess up....Geez Loueez!
