I assume most of you eat out once a week or so, right?

How often do you see carpet that either turns your stomach or gets you all hot and bothered with fantasies of whipping out your Zipper and Enzymes and getting to work.

I saw this one at a Qdoba Mexican chain yesterday.

A red pad and the ZipperTech would have killed it..

I've got a stomach turning pic of a Pizza Hut. Almost black carpet two years old, never cleaned because you can't see it with their lighting arrangement. Pod lights directly over tables only.

Had to use flashlights to clean. RX 20 dug grease like a locomotive, steam too thick to see.
Will look for the pix and video.

I thought the foid was very good. Light years ahead of Taco Bell.

Most restaurants dont encite any desire in me to clean them..

This one did for some reason

We have a couple across the street that are in their 90's and still live by themselves. We go out to dinner with them about once a month.
They have their favorite place that has Steak Diane, Spinach salad/ bacon, Banana's Foster and more done at tableside.
There is grease and dirt everywhere.
This is a high end establishment.

have a res custy that owns a restaurant/diner .
Nice home, well maintained carpets with 3 kids and two dogs.
Always deal with the the Mrs

One day hubby was there.
he asked me to look at his restaurant carpet and give a bid
(he knows what we charge to clean their home, so he knows we're not really cheap)


I look at the carpet and was SHOCKED
The 20 year old cheap glue down looked like a dirt floor.
ragged and worn too

I told him there was nothing i could do for him:icon_redface:

Qdoba let us go after about 1.5 yrs. The management changed and thought it was ridiculous that they had to move all the furniture before we arrive.

3 month cleaning looked like asphalt everytime.

Oh the distant memories of good times

The 2 Dennys in my city are nasty and when asked to quote them I was .30 a sq. ft when the owner hit the roof he said he was paying $210 or .10 sq. ft monthly so I walked.

This was yesterday. Residential (not sure if you wanted the photos to be only eating establishments)

This is not a typical job for us. Most of our customers never let their carpets get this bad. The guys get excited when the have one of these. Great satisfaction in seeing such drastic before and after and some bragging rights.

No pics from this....but this was the first night I used the Zipper....and I sent a text message in the middle of the night with my Credit Card to Erik Hiltz and told him to get another one on the way!

We have to clean this one again Monday night....and it has not been cleaned since this time....which was the end of Sept 2014

I walked into a restaurant 2 years ago I was sticking to the carpet in my dress shoes.

I have made my family leave a restaurant a few times because of dirty carpet. If they do not care enough about the front of the house think how bad it is where they are going to make what you eat.

Needless to say my family hates me!

One of the 1st times I was allowed to go to the mall by myself as a kid, I was in a ToysRus where some creepy old guy slithered up next to me and opened his wallet, flashing a wad of cash..hoping for a new cuddle toy


I ran like hell..

Is that the one on 19 in Port Richey?

I was at that one a few months ago and the carpet was that bad.

Be surprised if that store is open this Christmas.
