oh for crying out loud

get a grip, kid

..L.T.A.
Seems like I interrupted an otherwise very satisfying circle jerk. Well, am I liar? Throwing stones in a glass house?

Y'all may wanna dig back to my water damage restoration job. Seems like the spirit of what's happening here. I didn't do a water damage restoration job, I extracted a ton of water from a ladies basement. And unlike a few that incorrectly assumed I lied and told her I did water damage restoration, I was very clear with her that I'm a carpet cleaner that has extracted water before. Which is true. Was I as careful as I've been with everything else? Nope, screwed that up and owned it. Should I have known way more and had a release of liability signed before proceeding, absolutely and I owned that too. Did I lie or deceive her in anyway? Nope, not in the least. Anyways that's all for now. Unless Fred chips in with more quotes from my website or previous posts here and there's an ensuing circle jerk over how much of a hypocrite Bryce is. Over and out to move to a new home!

Hey look, bubbles! This lady is amazing. Not matter how weird or difficult life gets... I'm the luckiest guy ever. I'd do well to remember how blessed I am every day. Love you guys, peace for now!

Well since you asked...let's compare the following statements:

1: "What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bryce and Rushelle have been professionally cleaning for 7 years and fully understand the craft. We bring with us extensive knowledge or fiber and flooring types, appropriate cleaning chemistry, intelligent use of state of the art cleaning equipment, and the very best customer service that can be offered."

2: "Anyways, I'm learning as I go and erring on the side of caution with everything knowing that I am new, have very little knowledge outside of binging on carpet and upholstery cleaning educational articles and videos for several weeks, and genuinely wish to do no harm for business and personal reasons."

Do we need Sheldon Lee Cooper here to explain science and dilution ratios of “chemicals” or detergents, or whatever you want to call them? As always, my attention span was little and I couldn’t read all that.

People that just want "natural" cleaning are such a tiny portion of your potential customer base that they aren't worth worrying about. Leave your inner hero behind and concentrate on the middle...

unless you:
A: Just love headaches.
B: Are desperate for work.


Absolutely correct! a valuable and pricey lesson I learned during my "ooh everybody's going to love the fact that I'm running biodiesel" days


Only the brokest of hippies with the filthiest of carpets responded...

Bryce,

In the interest of honesty shouldn't this:

"With years of experience as professional cleaners, a genuine love of the craft, extensive knowledge of cleaning techniques and chemistry, "

say this instead:

"Porty hacks just starting out with very limited experience, equipment, and training willing to learn on your carpet and upholstery"
I'm ashamed to admit that made me spit out my coffee.

I said synthetic chemicals, and the customer made that abundantly clear as I indicated in my post.

This is really sad to see. I made it very clear in my post and seeing this as a response the truth has become pretty evident unfortunately. Customers who make these kinds of requests are not being honored but rather deceived by many cleaners. Yikes...

Be cordial, professional, listen, shut your mouth, agree, do the job, grab the check, make deposit.

Do a great job you might be called back. Bonus if they refer you to friends and family.

learn to work stealthy on some jobs.

Well moving in July is fun.


Looks like we've established that Fred is a genuine creep, I embellished on my resume and lived up to it, and Steve plays wicked word noodles with customers that make particular specific requests. Which seems to be practiced or tolerated industry wide from the silence by many and the laughter of others. Just know I'm not on some campaign, but knucklehead came to me trying to convince me of some garbage that I happen to be allergic too. Obviously touched a soft spot, the cheers for creepy Fred's dumb attempts to trash me publicly say something.

That's solid advice. I just got a bunch of cider doughnuts and munched them in my new backyard. Feeling way better. Nice view, I love this place. Blessed (:

What garbage do I use that you are allergic to?
I can't believe you came back with this nonsense.
You didn't learn anything.

Bud we've quoted and spelled out everything more than enough times. You treat people that ask for no synthetic chemicals in the cleaning process however you want, just don't try to convince me of it. I do personally think it is garbage to conceal the use of synthetic chemicals when people specifically ask for a cleaning with zero synthetic chemicals. Pretty simple.

You do you. Remember you came to me. I have not and am not coming to you trying to convince you of anything. But when nonsense crosses my path, I'll address it. That's all.

welcome back
feel bedder now?



..L.T.A.
Thanks. Feel better from what, moving? Not really I'm flippin exhausted. The heat and slugging endless amounts of stuff for weeks in the midst of a chaotic mess while still cleaning each week was brutal man. I'd enjoy never moving again. But God willing, it will happen once more. Hopefully this is the last place we ever rent before financing a home of our own in a few years.

Felt fitting when he decided to try and shame me by looking up and writing stuff on from website here and inlcuding my wife in it. She hasn't made any exchanges on these boards. To me that's creepy.
