Title: Be careful where you leave stuff !
Post by: terrymaloy on February 15, 2012, 03:33:38 pm
Just got back from a job.
Whilst cleaning his lounge carpet, he was pottering about in the kitchen on his hands and knees with a dust pan and brush.
For some reason, he emptied all the crap that was in the pan into my newly opened 15kg tub of cleaning powder which he thought was a bin !!!!  :o :o

So far I've managed to sieve out numerous dog hairs, bits of food, a stanley blade, some orange peel and various other bits of crap  ::)

Some customers never cease to amaze me  :)

Actually Terry, there's a serious side to this.

It could be a child or dog that decides to eat the contents of an OPEN tub of cleaning powder. A lawyers' heaven.

I make it a habit on EVERY job to ask if there are any small children around so I know if I can bring chems etc into house. I even tell customers about hot solution hose and put out wet floor sign and trip hazard sign.

Please don't take this as condescending, but I stopped mixing chemicals in peoples homes after I'd heard of someone knackering someone's oak work top.... :o

Everything's made up at the van...

I always mix chemicals in the van. Taking chemicals into a house means 1 more thing to leave behind.

Same here, but can spill quite a bit going round corners.

A quick mist over with the grime and lime variant is as good as any acid rinse.
