Today I had a job for one of my more difficult customers. She’s a handful and many times I’ve considered firing her. Today she wanted me to clean an area rug on her dirt driveway. She also asked me to stem clean her wall that was covered in bird crap. I told her that wasn’t possible and it would take way too much time. She was complaining that the painter she called wanted $100 an hour and she thought that was ridiculous. I explained to her that I regularly make that and more when I’m really humping. Anyway, I’m getting sidetracked.
Back to the bird poop. When I told her I couldn’t do it she looked at me stunned and said,” Oh come on, you got some sort of tile thing that can steam it off. “. I explained my tile spinner would damage the wall and wanding a wall is outside my expertise.
I guess I could have used my upholstery tool or a steam iron and a spotting towel, but screw that. I’m a carpet cleaner. Let the other guys do that bird crap.
