[The Carpet Cleaning Pro]

about a week ago a customer rang wanting us to do a quote for a clean.

Went round today as we were working locally (Exeter) to have a quick gander.

Knocked on door as you do, door opened, f*** me, did the smell get you, nearly knocked me off my feet. Cheeky cow, then turned and said "please dont leave the door open cos I dont want the cats to escape"

House looked OK from the outside.

Carpet Clean, I dont think so.................more like RSPCA, Environmental Health followed by Life of Grime.

And to top it all, she only wanted a quote for the Conservatory Carpet (guessing this was the only area that could be seen by the neighbours)

Anybody else had this situation.........

Yes, My mother in law!!!!!!!

I refused to clean her carpets due to the amount of dog poop and cat poop in the house and outside!!!! i wasn't very popular!!! Haven't been spoken to since!!! Not dirtying me TM for know one!!!

Yeah I did a quote for a "cat lady" once.  Same as you, door opens and it's as if you just took the top off a bottle of ammonia and took a bloody great lungful

She wanted the suite and carpets doing.  Suite was run of the mill quality but horrendous.  Axminster carpet, probably 20 years old, most of it was soaked in cat pee.

I stayed long enough to be polite, wrote out a quote for at least double what I'd normally charge and saved her phone number as "don't answer".

I had one where the woman had 13 indoor cats. She said she could not smell anything. The carpet was rotten in the corners.
