Seriously! You set expectation.

Customers send signals. From lala land.

I had one lady mind you I was going in with a portable and doing 5 rooms at the time for $31.95

I was running my trusty spot test where I actually used a bunch of formula 90 and cleaned a spot in the middle of her muck!

After my fabulous demonstration! I said “ mam if you want all your carpet to look like this it’s will only be $99 for the deep cleaning!”

She smiled back at me and said son!

I already prayed to Jesus and He told me your gonna get all this carpet cleaned for $31.95.

As her 5 home schooled kids looked on in amazement of Moms faith!

I said I will do my best, but with out the extra chemicals! I doubt Jesus is gonna get your carpet cleaned!

She insisted she prayed, and says do your best!

Well I did remove a few spots for the basic price, but it wasn’t no miracle on 41 st street.

And now you know why I dont use a porty or so a spot test!

As soon as someone pull the WWJD card on me, they can live on a prayer hoping that their carpets get cleaned for all i care.. im outta there..

One time some turkish lady told me that it aint her fault that carpets are dirty for god make the dirt fall and i shouldn't charge so much....

I just told her that was correct, for god made dirt fall so I can make a living to feed my family. That pissed her off considering i was an infidel her eyes... Needless to say, i won't be doing business with her again.

I told Gary Taylor that same story once from a home in Lake Los Angeles...


For some reason my next 2 room was in Oxnard....
