Got called in by a local plumber to remove oil & soot from carpet. Talking to the owner, he informed me that he usaully cleans his carpets once a year himself with a R/D, and he had a go at removing the stain himself.....don't you love theses ones that think they know what they are doing!! After i cleaned the whole lounge and got rid of the stains he kneels down touches they carpet "blimey its almost dry, the R/D took two days to dry" I just smirked as i packed up my kit. Score: Carpet cleaners 1 - R/D 0

I quoted a pub this time last year and didnt get it.

They rang me the other week and said would the price still stand, popped down to have a look and said yes. They said they had hired a machine last year, took 3 days to dry out etc.

We did it the other morning, TM and dry roto to spead up drying, they couldnt believe it was dry and ready for use by 10.30.

We discussed the job over tea and bacon rolls and I  told him I can go and buy a steak and cook it at home, but its just a steak, or I can come to him for a deliciously cooked steak, beer, ambience etc etc, and thats the difference, its done properly.

We booked in a reclean in 6 months time and he wants a price on 60 pub chairs to be done afterhours.
