Seriously, I don't know how they find me, but they always do. Got a call from a lady wanting an "Emergency Cleaning" because some guy got drunk and urinated on the carpet in her bedroom. She tried to clean it herself with a bissell but all she ended up doing was smearing it around. I told her my minimum price and offered the option to call around if she wanted someone cheaper. She ended up calling me back and I headed over.
Often times I turn down jobs like this, but since I'm in the mood for a new Corvette, I booked the job.
I arrived at the scene and she escorted me to the contaminated room. I immediately went to work.
Here is where I divert to bitch at @Mark Saiger a bit. Mark, what are you thinking? I thought you were one of us. I used your ODOR OXY. It worked very well but Mark, what's with the 2:1 or 1:1 ratio. This stuff is as bad of a mixing ratio as UnDuzIT with the exception it doesn't choke you out from the smell. Do the chem manufacturers really think I want to drive around with 8 gallons of their product in my van? It just doesn't make any sense, especially if you do any kind of volume odor work. I guess if you're a boutique cleaner like Mikey and do very little odor/urine work, a product with a 2:1 ratio would be okay. I need something with a minimum of 4:1 or more. All that being said, it worked very well and smelled like a holiday. I love you Mark, but not the 2:1. Would I use it again and trust it to work?, yup. Will I secretly order more and bitch about the mixing ratio, Yup.
Back on topic, so I flooded the floor with the 3 gallons of oxy I had mixed up. let it simmer for awhile, then extracted with my Aqua Helix. I then sprayed the carpet as normal with my HF. I sprayed a mixture of Prochem Nano (UltraPac Extreme) and a heavy dose of SaigerCide (80z per gallon....Very good Mark). I also poured 4 cups of SaigerCide (once again, good mixing ratio Mark) into my acid rinse. Then I went to work with the final extraction.
The customer was thrilled with the results. The room really did smell great when I was done.
On another side note, while I was there working, some guy came up to me form an adjoining townhouse. He said, "What if I offer you $100 cash and you come over to my house and clean my carpet and 12'x 12' area rug". I politely told him my minimum price. I could see his face turn red and his blood pressure rise. He then said, "What if I bring my rug out to the parking lot and you clean it on the ground?" At this point I was getting annoyed with him so I told him, "I'll be happy to bring your rug back to my shop and clean it for $5 per sqft. Free pickup and delivery." He and his red face huffed off.
