How do you go on cleaning carpets in the evening at this time of year?

I find it a nightmare cleaning in artificial light and have turned away 3 0r 4 jobs this week where theyve asked me to do evenings as I cant do day time.

Is there a knack to cleaning in artificial light.We had a new carpet put down 6 weeks ago and when we put the big light on at night it looks dirty.

I had one this morning for a small bedroom needing today or tomorrow I would try my best to fit in easy jobs like this but 2 problems, 1. it's too far out of the way 2. he didn't want to pay my price!

BTW quoted a customer for a 2 seater sofa with no seat or back cushions to be cleaned she had CD round £220.00 :o, shame I just couldn't fit the requirements of want she wanted time wise.

I had a lady say yesterday that she wanted her 3 piece suite cleaned, as we discussed several weeks ago. She wants it done before Christmas... :o

I booked her in and said "Okay, so that'll be £150 on the day plus I'll do your carpet for free!"

She gasped "150 quid? You said it would cost about £30!"

"No" I said "I said it would be about £30 per seat!"

"Oh Christ, I can't afford that!"

"Do you really believe I'd do all that work for £30?"

"Well actually... No, I thought it was too good to be true!!!"

She said she'll save up and have it done in Spring... I won't hold my breath...! ;D

The lady approached me on the street... Maybe you would suggest I wore a balaclava so she didn't recognise me... She probably thought I should have been wearing a robber's mask.... ;D

No it's not just you. Family & friends have been prompted to just keep talking if the answer machine comes on as we monitor if it's worth picking up or not.
