Gonna take a pass on this outing.

Bump. Just read JORR's tale. Somehow I missed this before.

WILHELM: I'm here to clean the carpets. Most of the world is carpeted. And,
one day, we will do the cleaning.

There should be just a thread for JORR stories, whenever you are having a shit day just go and browse. It will have to put a on your face.

I use the rental from da Jewels. It's cheap. Pay the extra $5 for the "wide track" - it will save you time. The soap is the expensive part, but it will last for several uses.

I did a groupon for my living room and dining room. Not bad. It was like $50 I believe.

I've changed to renting from Meijer. It's cheaper and works better usually.

bagels, you ever get your carpet cleaned?

.i don't see myself getting new carpet or hardwood flooring anytime soon

Hmmm. Group carpet cleaning

If someone here has a trustworthy guy, that's one thing. But carpet cleaning in general is a scam business. A friend of mine worked for an outfit when he was right out of high school. He has so many funny stories we've thought about writing a screenplay.

He worked for these two guys who basically just booked the appointments and dispatched the cleaners who had to rent the equipment and buy the supplies from them. They had to turn in the checks from the customers and were paid a ridiculously small percentage. My buddy quickly learned the ropes. Rather than paying for Scotchgard refills he performed the treatment with water only. Also, he offered the extra services for cash payments that he could keep off the contract and put straight into his pocket. Some shit he learned from the crusty old guys and other stuff he figured out for himself. Like I said, a scam business.

One of his funniest stories is about an Indian guy who refused to pay. He called the office to inform them that he couldn't collect and one of the managers told him to take the machine to the top of the stairs and empty the dirty water down the staircase. This was a bit much even for my friend. He asked his boss if he really should do that. The boss said he would pay him the commission from the job anyway and told him "DO IT!!!!" So he did. The Indian was jumping around screaming as the dirty water sloshed all over his carpet. My friend heard his boss on the phone yukking it up with the other guys in the office. "Joe just blackwatered a fuckin' Indian!"

Vent cleaning a scam,too?

I never had that done,but was just wondering.

We have all flooring in my house,,,,carpets sucked.

so because you know OF a company that scams people, the entire industry is a scam?

Yeah, Ike. Carpets can't really be cleaned. Buy new carpet.
