Just looking at my Facebook feed and came across an advert for a training course,. Is it just me or does everyone else have words that They never use?
A big one for me is ‘wet’ I never leave a Carpet wet I leave it ‘slightly damp’
(This is also a plug for a training course, which is always a good. Thing :D )

Hi Mike that is a very good point, like you I never use the word wet. I too prefer the word damp along with vacuum rather than Hoover.
In this case however we are dealing with "Elf n Safety" in this context and considering how quickly people like to go to court these days I feel it is justified.
Damp is a degree of wet and I guess it is subjective. Best to keep the warning simple and graphic.....

I’m trying to stop saying ‘chemical’ but after 35 years of using the word I’m failing miserably.

Chemical yeah a word that strikes fear into customers. Like your going to use wmd on their carpets lol.
I try to use the word solution.

‘Expensive’ ...... my prices are "very competitive"
f***ed’ .........customers carpets ‘have seen better days’ and are ‘showing signs of wear’, they are never f***ed

We use something similar for hard floors
“Damaged through constant foot traffic”
