Just like magic....fook

[Mikey P]

All day job..
Getting along famously until 6 hours in I rinse this area and voila!


She says she worked on a wax spill there along time ago..

She's convinced I spilled something on it.
I found a dye guy in Reno but no answer.


No amount of explaining what could have happened was getting through to her..


Very dense nylon...

 

[Bob Pruitt]

She used Resolv. Oxidizer.

If you'd kept your certs up to date...

yep I'd say an oxidiser or maybe ammonia based product, got an apartment they were using window cleaner as a spotter and the colour just rinsed out like that

 

[bob vawter]

Did you 'splain to her jus wtf you are?

 

[hogjowl]

Well that sucks
Every time I see that happen, I think it’s time for a disclaimer.

The 40 volume king?
not sure that would help

 

[Mikey P]

No spotters needed


Just scissors for paint clumps

maybe she saw Peter Gregg's vid ...and wished she'd of called Saiger
instead of "Gruff".....

With all the
People you know clip some
Fibers for inspection and have them tested

 

[Jimmy L]

Had that happen as well. But now when I go in I ask what she has used and if it's resolve I caution her what will happen. Most typically is for pet treatments. No explaining to her will get you off the hook............after the fact. Been thru those acne treatments too that will remove color when you clean over them. So look around for pimply teenagers too.

 

[Mikey P]

Of course she never once in 30 years has she touched the carpet with anything other than water..

 

[Jimmy L]

Ask her if she uses "Summer's eve" vaginal rinse. I heard that if not fully flushed from "Up in there" that it can and will leak out .............all over the carpet.

 

[Mikey P]

Nice house, nice decor but horrible housekeeping

 

[hogjowl]

Anybody got a disclaimer they can post?

 

[Mikey P]

Call it the "I just don't understand, it wasn't like that before you started" form...

 

[Hack Attack]

Anybody got a disclaimer they can post?

I started an epic thread..

disclaimer forms

Does anyone have any examples of disclaimer forms that they'd like to share? I've got a basic one I drew up myself but I know it could be better The things you think about while hacking a rug out in the driveway..

She says she worked on a wax spill there along time ago... So she used something other than water. Maybe there was something in the wax? I wouldn't own her problem but maybe now you do?
I would let her know I could help her with her problem by using a dye stick to make it less noticeable...not perfect ... but better.
No charge...Let's write that on the invoice and please sign here.
Lighter fluid and a crayola crayon was the color trick when I was a hack student housing apartment cleaner.
Craft stores or amazon sells fabric dye pens. Not IICRC approved.
Or hope the Dye Guy in Reno answers tomorrow and he doesn't charge like the guy who use to hang out here.

 

[Mikey P]

Wouldn't it be nice if the IICRC had a library of downloadable official looking forms.

and Certified explanations for these sort of mishaps that make sense to octogenarians..

I'm way too colorblind to mess with color correction

That's nothing! Unbelievable we were talked into this one...

Yes, yes, they have been vacuuming everyday sense the quote, the church paying told us...

Actual dried turds, had to use a broom stick to scrape the off!

 

[Jack Zipper Zerkie]

It's NOT the carpet cleaner it's the homeowner. If it was caused by the carpet cleaner it would be all over the carpet not just in a small area. Most of us know the application of the chemicials and the results. Many homeowners spray but will not tell and then it's our problem. The show& tell is not being honest with the hired carpet cleaner. jz

 

[Mikey P]

Not really any spots on this ladies carpet, just years of dusts and Ife...vacuum died long ago.

Part of her panic was due to a group of old friends coming over this Tuesday.

I'm betting she does something stupid....

 

[Mikey P]

If I asked her what she had for dinner last Friday do you think should remember? she certainly won't remember having you some kind of f****** spot cleaner to try and get that wax out

 

[Papa John]

an application of light blue should cover that up nicely.

That’s exactly like the music director’s house at my largest account. BUT, I give him the snow shovel and roll around and tell him when he’s done, call me.

Absolutely a bullseye.

I always casually ask “what kind of spotter do you have?” while inspecting the floors.
It does not raise defenses and they always run to get it. My deal is: Toss that stuff at a jogger and I will provide free spotter for as long as I am in business.

Did a repeat Friday that made sure she left the half empty bottle out for me to refill with “that magic juice” lol.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Had a new client last week that swore by using ‘Scouts Honour ‘....
Yeah, Big bleach out spots everywhere...
She asked if they would ‘clean out’.
NO.
I referred her to my favourite flooring store, and a good installer...
