Met my match with these rugs..

[Mikey P]

two 8 x 10s, one syn one cheap wool.
four 8ft runner and one 30 ft runner, all off the spool from Lowes nice machine mades.

Log cabin out in the high desert, seven years old and never cleaned or vacuumed with a beater bar.

I've never seen anything like it, I tried using their leaf blower and my Royal on them but the dust would just not stop coming out. Getting them wet would have been a disaster. A giant cloud that I can still smell and feel in my hair exploded as I dropped the 1st rolled rug on her back porch.

No way.

Ive been desperately trying to find a real rug shop in the area and so far all I can find is this company.

They are a notorious bait and switch for wall to wall. but being the ONLY shop with the ability to handle the 30 footer AND has a Centrifuge, I had to refer them. I called on the owners behalf to ask a few questions. $2.10 for any rug with free pick up and delivery, even 1:20 minutes away like these rugs..

My advice was to tell her to talk to the rug manager, tell him that you insist on paying twice their normal rate but don't want to see one fleck of dust when they are brought back and dropped on the floor.







Monahan and Paula want me to become one of "them".....

 

[Mikey P]

good lord, I just read more of their Yelps..


what a clusterfook..

Does Monhan provide some training when you buy 100k worth of his goods




oh man I feel horrible.

 

[Old Coastie]

Maybe they could get the dogs trained, too.

 

[Mikey P]

no dogs there...

different house

 

[Old Coastie]

I notices that Katz trains dogs. Diversity is the spice of life...

Or something.

 

[hogjowl]

So, I'm confused. Who's in the video blowing dust everywhere?

Heads too proportional to be you.

 

[Mikey P]

if you weren't such a pin head, you'd be able to figure it out.

I feel your pain.

There's a lot of dust here, and it shows even more in those homes where people think, "Oh I'll just tear this carpet out and put laminate or tile in so I don't have to pay someone to clean my floors."

There's also a lot of cleaners here, but not a lot of good honest ones.

 

[Mikey P]

I can't believe there isn't a good rug shop here...

I imagine Tahoe is littered in hand tied's..

Looks like its time for you to take advantage of the opportunity in your lap. This could be huge for you.

 

[Josh]

It could be a great opportunity for you, Mike.

 

[PrimaDonna]

The universe is speaking to you....listen to it!

 

[Mikey P]

I already failed as a rug fag...lol

 

[Cleanworks]

I already failed as a rug fag...lol

That's because you've got man up and become a."Macho Macho" man

 

[PrimaDonna]

It took Edison 1000 times before he invented the light bulb.

If everyone gave up after the first try....half the people on this board wouldn't be here. Buck up!!

 

[Cleanworks]

It seems in warmer climates, more people have hard floors and area rugs. If you have a shop oe even a decent sized garage, you can start doing rugs as a sideline. You have to make sure you charge enough for your travel time, (maybe draw up a route) and don't let interfere with your more profitable jobs. You don't have to deliver immediately. Let your custies know that for proper cleaning, it takes 2-3 weeks. Gives you enough leeway to pick up and deliver when you are in the area.

you are welcome to check us out next time you in SF.

 

[Desk Jockey]

You could do it and clean rugs whenever you want and not need to clean carpet any longer.

The question is, does the population justify the purchase?

Without enough rug clients you go from "rug snob" to "rug sap" fast.

Although, Lockhart would be glad to buy your lightly used setup for pennies on the dollar.

 

[PrimaDonna]

Just get a rug sucker.

 

[Mikey P]

Those fell out of fashion over night..

 

[hogjowl]

That's because they didn't give you or Saiger one.

 

[Ron K]

Ship them to a qualified Rug Washer.

 

[Mikey P]

Ron these were the by the foot runner that you buy at Lowes...

Shipping to the dump makes more financial sense

Having spent 30+ years as a retailer, I am with Mikey on this one. When he has a slow week and only jobs on Monday and Thursday he doesn't have to wait around the shop for more work to come in---he can go swimming or biking. A rug shop when it is slow would be no fun waiting for customers to walk through the door. Whereas a carpet cleaner when it is slow may not have any money but will have free time.
