sorry paul cant helpm you with this one ,
but maybe i can help you get a little more work!!!
i read from your numerous posts, you are finding it a little slow , well i certainly hope it does get better for you , and im sure it will,
but how do you find time to get work , with the amount of time you are on here , just an observation, not a crititisism, surly you could be out delivering leaflets, or canvassing
it really could help
regards geoff
who ever said dont knock before u try ,i never tried dog crap but i know i wouldnt like  haha

Hi Paul

Disclaimers are not really worth a lot, because once you tackle the problem it becomes yours, until your client is happy.

One of the phrases I use is 'I will attempt to remove the stain/spot to the best of my ability without causing further damage to the carpet/upholstery'. The phrase should say it all, and providing you have prequalified everything and 'educated' the client before the clean, you won't have to make 'excuses' afterwards.

Good luck

Paul P

Paul, My disclaimer is intended to put the client off from asking me to attempt spots/stains.
I know when a mark will not remove and why, THEY DO NOT.  :o
How do you tell someone NO in their own house. Give disclaimer to sign and see the attitude change ;D
Email me and i will reply with a copy........it comes up too small if i paste it in here.( sales@strakercleaning.com)
