Title: A question to pass the time
Post by: paul@scc on March 16, 2005, 08:39:24 pm

here we all are a wet windy night in march (typical british weather) and i was thinking whats the most unusual thing youve been ask to clean

  I think the weirdest thing or most strangest place to clean was a tree house carpet 15ft up a tree charged em £30 due to the fact i hate nething higher then ground level

I've cleaned a tent and recently I was asked to clean an arctic military over coat made of simulated fur (no I didn't do it).

i cleaned the queen mothers bed head just after she died. not the main one but one in a house near me that she would come and stay in (posh clients). it was velvet with hand painted silk inlays. i bloody ripped it :o!!!!!s**t. thought that was the end of me.
no problem though. owned up and was even tipped. big job, carpets throughout upholstery if it could be cleaned, :o it was to clean it.
next week i'm doing a shop front blind. the sun shade thing old shops have.
