I Dont allow the family to eat on the furniture...then find half a pizza down the settee.....

Are you busy all the year round    no I live in the bahamas for 6 months of the year...

Dio you actually make a living out of this.......time for prices to go up again...

We used to have a little man that cleaned the suite for £70.00............Im a big man and charge £145.00

That looks like hard work........Yes it Blinking well is.....

I had it scotcgaurded 27 years ago....I think youll find its probabkly worn off by now..

Onces its Scotchgaurded it wont get dirty again will it.........Only if you dont sit on it ,close the curtains, wrap it in stainless steel and shoot the dog....

" I need a carpet cleaning, how much is it going to cost" from an estate agent.

So I asked her "I need to sell my house how much will I get for it?"

"Well it depends on size, condition, location" she replied snotily

"Exactly" I replied.


I also like it when they say "Oooh thats a big hose" as I pull 200ft of TM hose off the van. I reply "thats what they all say" ;)

I think I have heard all the sayings on this thread at some point.

Do you all get asked to do the hesian door mats???

"you clean a lot better than Chem Dry".................... I use the same chems and equipment as I did as a franchissee.

"ooo a man that like vacuuming"........  do you really think I would be for any less than £50 an hour.

"its just the kids and dogs/cats that make it dirty"............. so you walk round in a constant sterile state.

"do I need to move my car off the drive"......  yes if you want love.

"do you want a drink"..................... er its 100 degrees in here go on then.
