What do you think your customers consider acceptable dry times?

[Mikey P]

And how much torture and headache are you willing to put yourself through to reduce their expectations by a few minutes?

-Running 8 to the door
-17 in of lockdown inducing lift
-Setting up fans in every room as you clean
-2 inch wand setups ripping apart your 50-year-old elbows
-using rotary extractors on clean carpet to make up for your lack of personality
-9, 12, 16, flow of fresh tank wasting, 800 PSI
flushing
pad drenching overuse of water
-a ear damaging motor large enough to drive a sedan when the lawn mower engine will do..

And no matter what you're still leaving some dirt behind on anything but a one year old carpet in Pasadena...

I just talked to my second job today which is a caretaker for a 90-year-old guy that lives in a hundred year old house that the German Shepherd has been destroying for years, and she's convinced a professional can do better than her Rug Doctor.


If if if.... I decide to take this on they're going to get amazing dry times.

OP for the wizzy win

If it dries overnight, that's acceptable to most of my clients.

Yeah, creating an even worse health hazard is a win win.


Dumbass!

Im sure you hot water heros would have rotary extracted 30 years of large breed dog urine straight out of China here..

I walked.

Old gent needs to go into a home or with a relative and those subfloor needs to be removed .

 

[Numero Uno]

Proper vacuum strokes an top down drying .
You give it your best an move on.
Ocd is not cost effective.
You ever see plumbers wiping down stuff after they are done...
Course not.
Give it your best shot.
Work for future referrals.
An simply move on.

You walked? pansie


Dude, the old dude couldn't afford to replace. so it's either, leave the shit and piss there or clean it and make it better if he has to walk bare foot on it. Don't give me this, "there's bacteria breeding when it gets wet", bullshit. It's currently wet now with his piss.

1. Do a quick water extraction
2. Treat with antimicrobial/surfactant
3. hot water extract again
4. Put a light mist of antimicrobial on it
5. Tell him to stay off it for 4-6hrs.

6. It's better than it was before

 

[Mikey P]

Do I like like I'm starving?

 

[AlienAgent]

First set appropriate expectations, VLM procedure with a peroxide boost, light spray of Odorcide at an appropriate dilution, collect the check.

Why did you walk? They wanted the carpets cleaned and they ain’t never replacing the subfloor.

I'm there to clean the carpet, it's up to the customer to get it dry. I do as many dry strokes as possible. I explain drying options for them, then it's on them.

You can pretty much guarantee that the minute you were out the door, they called someone else.

Good, let them scrape up the 8+ piles of dried doody.

 

[Mikey P]

Why did you walk?

Severely impacted with 30 plus years of dry soil.
Severely flooded with urine and chems
Poor ventilation
Dried piles of diarrhea all over.


I would have had to charge $1000 to make it worth cleaning all my tools and tank, and the finished results might have been worth $100.

Not my thing.

 

[Numero Uno]

You clean for RMc house.
But for an old guy.
One of the world's finest.
Let's some hack do instead...
All Glory is fleeting an one day that old man could be you.
Service overall...
But your decision not mine.
Personally I would have done the best job possible.
Then said free...

Easy to say from the bleachers

Pops needs to go into a home
Dog needs a new family
Home needs to be bulldosed.

I dont carry bacteria-cides for a reason.

Had there not been piles of diarrhea all over, his and the dogs, I would have padded it with Saigers Oxycap.

Sounds more like Damon's thing.

 

[Meter Maid]

All you can do there is make it more hospitable.

Soaking that carpet is the last thing one should do.

I would’ve brushed in some of encapstore’s new encap enzyme.

I did that for an old guy last month. He knew I couldn’t get ride of all the cat pee, he just wanted it to smell better while he saved up for new carpet.

Called him two weeks after my hack job and he was still grateful, as he could watch TV without smelling cat piss.

Picking up fans from 3 different houses I left Friday-Saturday. No charge. Fast dries and the smaller fans are easier for the customer to move or leave out on the porch. They love it, especially when the first rooms are dry before we leave. Been noticing and getting complements more now since using the Greenglide, about dry times.
