Found this out accidentally and wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation so don't call me a crook. I was cleaning the edge of a carpet next to the tile and ended up cleaning approx. two to three inches of the tile/grout. It created a halo affect making the the rest of the tile look dirty. Custy now wants the tile cleaned and sealed and we booked it for next week. Nice $500.00 upsell.

You SCUMBAG!!!

Almost as bad as when you go to do a Free Demo, and you do it in the center of their heavy traffic area! You get either of 2 reactions a good cursing or how soon can you get back to do the rest!

I think I am going to puke.
Next thing Island Boy will be bragging about having technicians wearing white gloves while moving furniture and showing Miss Jones how dirty their couches are by the dirty gloves.
How unethical.

Keep in mind that when Tom kicks in the doors at a house he makes sure to tromp through the mud first.

After the arrest or drug search he inconspicuously leaves a carpet cleaning coupon on the kitchen counter.

Harper, you are full of sh t

You can't tell me that has never happened to any of you before. Harper, you telling me you mask off the tile? Really, sounds like a load of crap to me.

Even drug dealers are open to the upsell.

I think you would be Unethical for Not showing the customer the filth they live in, you could always toss a handful of soil back over it and rub it in and make em' happy again!

A lot of facilities managers are on to test cleaning in the worst area.

We make that offer when doing demo's and will often get that look and then they say "What and leave me with a clean spot I have to do something with? No thanks. Lets test where it's not quite so obvious." :lol:

I agree, the headline wasn't the most ethical one. I was sort of being sarcastic. I will hold off on the billy club attack.

Sorry - obviously you don't get the concept of contracting as you called me "Bossman" - best of luck. interesting fact - i asked around about you and no-one seemed to have heard of you or your company! Very strange........

Probably safer to assume he's not servicing the same clientele as you. :roll:

I always find it funny when "other" cleaners throw that "huh never heard of you/him" out as a back handed insult.

I don't know who the best heart surgeon in my area is, ( as don't need him) but I'll bet a few good doctors or heart patients in the area can tell me who he is, and he probably doesn't advertise much.
