 Does anyone else find your custy has booked workmen in the same day as your clean?  Today I had the chimney sweeps plus half the chav population playing games on the tv!

Tues a guy came to fit a handrail on the HSL I was cleaning.

And when they won't put the dog away  :

Or I'm just popping out won't be long....yeah right.

Have a good un...Paul

Pet hates.....
People who expect you to tidy up before you can start. Kids bedrooms are the worst but my solution is to just 'chuck'everything into one big pile on the bed. And make sure its all a mixed up pile too

[from edge2edge]

Mine is where customers watch me sweating by xxxxs off and sit there drinking without offering me a tea or coffee.

When you have finished and starting to pack away and they say OH is it to late to just do this room too, I forgot o ask ou earlier  .

When the customer trys to be to helpfull and moves all the furniture out from the wall just slightly.

[Mike Halliday]

my pet hate is either a bedroom at the back of the house where you have to drag all your pipes over the existing carpets which you're not going to clean so you have to be extra careful

and.... cleaning a suite in a room which had a new cream carpet fitted the day before

I can sense it whenever I walk in.

I now take a somewhat perverted enjoyment in seeing how high I can stack stuff on a bed. My record is 12 inched from the ceiling (seriously). I'll even put bedside cabinets on there too just to make a point.

Who is "We"?. Is that the superduper masonic carpet cleaning fraternity?

Oversized sofas in tiny rooms.
Kids running around because 'its raining outside'.
Customers working from home running up and down the stairs with coffee.
'How long are you going to be?' Despite having been told.
Other workmen
Kitchen sink water source out of use
Pump/vac failure (that Oh No! feeling)
Difficult access
Elderly people's homes with three trillion/rugs/trays/tables/chairs/ornaments
Quoting rural areas in the dark
'I haven't got your money for you just now-can you come back...?
People who cancel because 'I've bought a Bissell'
And loads more I can't think of right now...

Surely the problem of having people in the same room as you cleaning can be solved by telling them (when you are doing the quote) that due to health and safety they are not allowed in the same room as you are working.  You can just refuse to work if they refuse to move out of the room and blame it all on the health and safety requirements.
