It is next week.
Haven't discussed details with client yet. I'll present her with different options and see what she chooses.
I'll let you know.

Not much worse than a person who intentionally reeks of garlicky BO.
Maybe gingivitis..

Violate is such a harsh word. 
There really needs to be a line similar to that on a tachometer, that lets you know when you're gone too far.
I think I may have poked the Tiger a bit too far!

Ofer,
Really not an issue unless you soak the carpet and the customer closes everything up and leaves town for a week.
When you get the carpet wet you'll activate spores above the level of the backing, but will also remove the vast majority of them. If the carpet dries in under 24 hours, you will have contributed nothing to the problem. If, when cleaning, you smell a musty odor and want to knock it down, saturate the carpet with an anti-fungal product and rinse. Use whatever anti-fungal product you like.
We clean musty smelling rugs every week and sell an anti-fungal application up front. If the clean and dry rug doesn't smell musty after just washing it (most likely) we don't apply and don't charge for the anti-fungal. Customers are happy-happy.

Which product do you use, Bryan?

For this purpose we use Microban germicidal cleaner concentrate because it doesn't require a respirator. And works.
You have other choices, but you probably won't need any of them.

Reeko please excuse my attitude as I know you are of the sensitive type.
Just so you know...............tonight at wal-mart I had to to be abrupt with a lady blocking the whole aisle.
I said , " Lady would you move your FAT ass and your multi-racial kids out of the way so us tax payers can get by? "

Bryan the client said it smelled moldy after the last cleaning. That is a red flag to us flatlanders.

I would say NO. In fact bacterial activity is as likely as mold. If there is moisture and a food source, either one can grow. But you can be sure something microscopic is at work.

The odor comes from MVOC microbial volatile organic compounds.
Microfarts.

I'm confused, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Ladwig meant butt sniffer?
