It's a common problem, especially in older clients homes. You're cleaning carpet, and customer insists on walking around. Not a problem if they stay on carpet. But if they wonder onto ceramic/hard floor, it becomes a slip problem. We take many precautions when cleaning, like tarps/floor covers for our hoses. I even use cotton encap pads for walkoff points when I'm on a job with slip hazards. (Too expensive to leave behind, but some customers want me to). Why not small, printed, inexpensive floor walk off mat made of viscose chamois to place at each danger zone. Say about 27x15"? One that you can leave behind. Or 2, maybe 3, if needed. Wouldn't cost you but a few bucks. When the slip danger is gone, carpet dried, your customer can use the mat at the door, for cleaning/wiping things, can be washed and reused. And it would have your company name and phone number on it. If there's any interest, I can send enough samples for everyone at the next RMH Cleaning. If there's enough interest, I can send samples out to prospective cleaners. I have the equipment to produce these, so costs would be minimal, and a minimum would be 50 mats. One color, or for a few cents more, 2 colors. Your logo, your contact info. Spending a few bucks on each job for peace of mind is priceless.
Of course, you can use them on the job, and take them with you when you leave.
Give me some feedback on this idea. I can get some pics up soon.
