Toys out of pram
« on: October 14, 2011, 12:25:11 pm »
http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=133829.0

What an absolute prat.  You don't get the answers you were looking for, so instead spit your dummy out and lock the thread!!!

Come on have a think..... Why do you think you got the answers you got mate?  You can't phone up a supplier and ask for 100ml of a couple of different products because you'll only use them once, you'd have to spend quite a bit of money buying a full container of a few different things to try out.

What if I phone you up and asked you to come out and clean just a square foot of my lounge window "because it's the only bit I look out of".

Carpets with odour issues can stump even experienced professionals.  Sounds like the job you have to do will need something a bit more than just chucking a detergent of a carpet and swishing it round with a poxy little machine.

You could spend a lot of money of chems and a long time and still not sort it yourself

It's absolutely true that for a couple of hundred quid you'll get a whole house cleaned through to the highest standard by someone who knows what they're doing and can get the job done quickly, and it will dry out in a few hours not a few days.

But hey, you know best :)

Jim I agree with your idea for him just getting someone in if he's sooo busy, but think you are over reacting having to start a thread about it. 
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

Jim

You are truly a Jekyll and Hyde character. Mild mannered and a pleasure to engage with on a social front but highly volatile when it comes to matters of our work. Guess you are just passionate about your work. Nowt wrong with that in my mind.

My friend, you come to the carpet cleaning section and ask a question expecting an answer that says "just use this and it'll be fine".  Well that answer doesn't exist!

You asked for "help and info" which you received plenty of.  Just because it wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, doesn't mean you got the wrong answer or that anyone was posting "crap" and "wrecking a post".  Quite the opposite.

Both myself and Mark were offering you the advice and help you asked for.  To sling it back in peoples' faces like that is just plain insulting.

It's people like you who make the forum worse, my friend.

Jim,Wc solutions was as he said just asking a question.
Although I`ll admit his e,mail did`nt perhaps fill anyone
Full of confidence regarding his knowledge of carpet
Cleaning,there`s no `tone or feeling`to written emails.
That surely has to be taken into account.?


Lewis  Doubtfire.

P.S.

Jim,you refer to him as your friend.It`s clear to everybody
That he`s not.
You’re the one that’s insulting Wc solutions,who has taken offence,
Which is possibly,I only write possibly understandable.

Lewis, when someone asks for advice concerning something they know very little about, and then rejects the answers that they get, do you think that is rational?  It's insane!

I don't give a monkeys personally if this guy makes a complete arse of his carpets trying to clean them, but I still took a few minutes to offer a different perspective on the situation which I thought might help him out.

However, he is convinced that the answer to his problems is a "simple" case of just getting a certain product and everything will be fine.  Well it isn't.

But like I said, he obviously knows best so let him carry on :)

Yes makes me laugh on here the number of people who ask how to do something then suddenly they know best.  ;D

The other one is members taking the time to help someone out and they never post again on that thread to say thanks or even what they did. Of course they start a new thread when they want to leach something new and they are off again.

Dude... just get someone in to clean the carpets its going to be so much easier and a lot more cost effective!
I have to admit that cleaning windows is as much a skilled trade as is carpet cleaning so my advise would be to see if someone on here may do you a good turn... lets help each other out eh?

Russ thats exactly what we where trying to say  :)

in fact that might be a good idea trade a bit of local window cleaning for some local carpet cleaning spread over the year it could work out plus the window boys might pick up a bit of extra work
