A New year in carpet cleaning
Another day in the carpet cleaning world,first job was to be 4 bedrooms and a set of 15 stairs at a house in Woodland st Balgowlah.On arrival I greet the customer and get shown around the house to inspect the job booked.The customer then asks me to clean a rug as well and then look at 2 more chairs that he would like cleaned ” Also i would like this leather lounge cleaned as well” says the customer.Ok so this is going to make the rest of the day go out of sinc,i call the office to let them know this job will put the next one back an hour.The office gets another technician to cover my next job.
I start to clean the leather lounge first as this will take the longest,after cleaning this the customer is amazed.
I carry on and clean the top 4 for bedrooms and clean the stair treads on the way down and finish off cleaning the rug.
First job done and time for a quick coffee in Manly before the next job in Narrabeen,this christmas period has been very busy as usual and we are on call all the time.
Arrive at the next job nice and easy 3 empty rooms I vacum theese pre spray and steam clean.Another happy customer who tips me an extra $10 for the good job.
The office call and have a job in Collaroy and tell me its vomit in a bed room .When I arrive at the job i am greeted by a rather embarrassed young lad who obviously had been sick over his parents carpet while they were away.The great thing about getting to a freshly puke covered carpet is it generally comes out with no staining as this one did.
Now only two more jobs to go one in Manly and one in Double bay then i can start my new year festivities,the Manly job is another straight forward job only two rooms and able to get the van close enough to use the truckmount.Now over to Double bay for a stain removal i was surprised there was not too much traffic with the harbour bridge closed for the fireworks.
I get to the job in Double bay,a very nice beach house with a zinc sun block stain on the carpet.The owner not here but a friend renting it for the christmas period,this took over 45 mins to get this stain out but its cheaper than a new carpet.
Just when i thought the day was done i get one more call from the office a brand new boat has flooded at spit bridge.So here we go this better be the last job its now 4 pm.When i arrive at the boat yard i am shown to the boat. Wow a $1.1 million luxury liner this thing still has the wrapping paper on it,and the cause of the problem was a faulty air conditioner which had leaked into three of the bed rooms onboard this beauty and there is no way i can reach this with the truckmount,so i have to get r2 (polivac predator portable) to do this one.I need a hand to lift it on the boat as its some what heavy.I spend about an hour and a half extracting the water out from the carpets and deoderise them after,the guy a the boat yard was very greatful and just as keen as me to get out and party for the new
