How much did you charge? Often complaints like these are about money disguised as a spurious quality issue.

Not about money perfect job imho I actually expected this as have worked for him before with hard to please expectations he was recommended to me via posh shop. The whole house is white if you get the picture I just want happy customers!

With respect, it can't have been a perfect job if he has complained about the quality of it.

Has the guy paid you, or is he refusing to pay you?

To be honest if someone is not happy I don't want money if they are genuine which he is and a good guy but he has some sort of ocd with things which unless replaced with new seem impossible to achieve expectations sorry about my grammar just quick phone te xt

Well if you're happy you haven't done anything wrong and it's just his ocd then forgo the money and put him on your,  don't book again list.

You missed all the brown spots on that rug - no wonder he's annoyed!

Offer to re-clean while he's there, get him to be specific about what he doesn't like, show him you're doing your utmost.

We offer a no-quibble re-clean within 14 days, even if they've spilt something themselves - so that covers "perfect" results.

Actually that is a pre clean photo as there is a ripple in the rug that I wanted. To picture to cover myself no CB the post cleanphoto  would be just the same look or better.

If that's a before picture then, the colour difference is pile movement/ shading.
Customer just needs educating on this.

The rugs look as though they are polypropylene. They should clean up well, although there is pile distortion on the one in the picture which would give the impression of dullness. Also if they are polyprop then you would have a hard job removing colour or making them lighter. However CB could be a culprit because of the jute wefts. However that said it should be easy to remove with a decent fibre rinse or a debrowner.

You can't establish anything from a photo - it can look completely different in the flesh

Trying to diagnose a problem from such is just like peeing in the wind
