I went to a new/different barber today.
Just happened to be next door to where I had lunch.
As she was trimming my hair, conversation turned to "What do you do for a living?"
Retired carpet cleaner.
She told me she just did her own carpets on Tuesday (Today is Thursday) and is still waiting for the carpets to dry. Then have to clean them again, because she could still see several spots and stains coming back.
I asked her how she had done them. She started out with her home model "Steam" machine, which blew up part way through because it sucked water into the motor.
She then went to a supermarket and rented a Rug Doctor to finish.
Back to work. She was exhausted before finishing, and had to rest for an hour before going back to it.
She is hoping the carpets are dry enough this evening, so she can rent the Rug Doctor again and do it again.
I told her to call my son Alan, he was a professional, the carpets would be clean, and dry in 1 or 2 hours.
She said she had been ripped off by professional cleaners before, and would not allow any in her house again.
I think I talked her into trusting Alan, gave her his phone number, and other info.
We will see.
Anyway, this is the perspective a lot of people have.
