Got me some good wool today.

OMG! I am wore out! when that wand hit some quality wall to wall wool carpet today....I about fainted. It didn't look like wool and I haven't seen much of it around here but damn sure did today.....the ONLY thing good about it was it looked amazing when I was done and I got more work.....it was so much work I didn't have it in me to snap a pic! lol I changed three shirts at this one job! it was 1600 sf and steps. three friggin wool rugs when I thought I was done got added.

This guy owned an oil company and now I get the whole building he operates in. He just said come and do it! never mentioned price...I said as long as is wasn't wool! lol he laughed. He wants me to move everything at the business.....sounds big! I know the building he is talking about but don't know how much is carpeted. He did say they had about 45 or 50 chairs......I said, so that many desks?....he said no but do the chairs too.....he wants them scotch-guarded as well. I think I need some help soon. My son is in School.

I do love the way wool cleans up. I have a bank with 30 year old wool carpet, it still looks great.

You definitely need more help very soon!

You have a bank ?!?! Wtf Rob ?? I knew you're a billionaires
Lol, on a serious note, if you get that $ 0.45 / sq ft commercial carpets and it was 10,000 sq ft, call me ! I'll drive out there and knock half of those for you for half the total invoice

Doesn't everyone have a bank or is that only for iicrc members?

I think I'm FDIC insured, but that's about all when it comes to the bank.....I have no money in there most of the time.

....you still use banks?

DP...if I get one I will call you, Im so thankful I purchased that glide I'll tell ya! it was a damn war zone for me. Oh, I won and got my wand back!

Three shirts dang In eight years of cleaning I've only seen 2 housed with wall to wall wool. Did it smell like wet sheep when you were done?

Maybe you can schedule that job on a weekend so your son and friend can help cause you know furniture moving can add a lot time to a job

Um, 35 years of going into peoples homes and I have never changed my shirt. Well I do at the end of the day when I get home of course.

Yeaaa I just roll all sweaty too.............I'm usually dried out by the time I get to the next one.

Well...Ive worked in california and never changed through the day....OKLAHOMA is humid folks! I sweat just hooking up the vacuum! lol really though...I have a complex dealing with people and Im all sweaty.....they usually want to shake hands when I have sweat running down my elbow to my wrist....I just dont want to be the gross guy who sweated on my customer. It rained today and almost did when I had the three shirt day.....hate humidity.

Mo, yes, It smelled like wet sheep.

Ken, where are you Alaska? lol

I live Near Salt Lake City Utah.

Guessing its not generally very humid in Utah?

I change my shirts too, but only in the customer's homes and on the kitchen table......get lots of tips that way.

Rob....I just figured out a way to increase your profits!

I thought I was the only one that looked like I had just jumped in a pool. Good thing I don't see hardly any of my customers face/face.

I need to get a pic of me 5 minutes into a job! you will understand. I think im being respectful of customers by changing....funny thing is, when I started one of the most important things for me was to order shirts. I use em up! When you sweat like I do its more of a look, I dont like looking like a wet dog.

Do you go all "Kurt Rambis" too with sweatbands and stuff?

Are you wearing any of the fast-wicking type of shirts or even silks? That can make a huge difference.

LOL, I need to try that when I get my six packs

Rob...I dont wear any headbands! lol. I can only handle cotton...I know they are hotter BUT they wont cling to me...if it clings I freak out and feel worse.

DP....keggers make better tips! they feel sorry for you! pitty money spends too. LOL

did a huge house today,      12 Areas all wall to wall wool and it was dirty!  

procyon extreme is at the top of my list for all time favorite chems,    it cleans like your nuking it with 30% peroxide but its wool safe!


customer was blown away,      funny part is I couldnt start the job until 4pm..    now Im exhausted


been knocking out some really dirty area rugs lately with amazing results, never could get them that clean before
