what's your plan of attack

BTW
do you guys charge more for those compared "normal" soil loads?

..L.T.A.

Yes if it's excessively soiled or needs urine treatment. Most jobs are charged the same, we expect to run into dirty carpets but something that is going to considerable extra time and product is going to be priced accordingly.

That’s extreme but not too far beyond what I deal with on a semi-regular basis.
1)Prevacuum thoroughly. (My vacuum would be cleaned and sanitized after.)
2) I would cover all the soiling possibilities with a prespray of Bio-8, D-Gas and PSor.
3) Rotovac my way into the room with a brush head.
4) Edge the room with a stand up filtration tool.
5) Wand my way out

Side note:
As I’m vacuuming, if I note any stains that I think may need dye stain remover and steam, I’ll do those before prespraying the carpet.

Jobs like this OFTEN require follow up cleaning and ALWAYS REQUIRE clarification of what can be expected.

Average cleaners will fail at these jobs because they won’t purchase the necessary equipment, don’t have the proper chems and are hesitant to price high enough to cover all the time necessary.

I can almost always clean these type jobs well enough to allow another rental season of use and save the home owner about half of the replacement costs.

I seldom encounter these jobs on owner-occupied houses

I had one of those last week. I wanted to take the after pictures so bad, but the family was there and the two 30YearOld brothers just got finished fighting, so I was very hesitant to take any pictures of the place, lol.

[sassyotto]

just had one like this on Friday. Just imagine 1900 sf of shag that looked like this. I very rarely run into anything that bad but it was from a referral generator realtor.

1. rinse with wand. You would be surprised at how much dirt a good rinse will remove. remove as much soil as possible and your prespray will be that much more effective at removing the rest of the soil. Make sense?
2. apply a powerful prespray.
3. CRB slowly in both directions
4. rinse
repeat steps 2 3 4
Carpet looked pretty close to new.

already ahead of you.....if I dont have pictures, it never happened. Well it did.

 

[hogjowl]

With the corn rowing you provided, no pictures are needed.

Rinse first … … you’re an idiot.

I dont carry an RE on my van anymore, so I would recommend Carpet Cops

They would have called them anyway. They couldn't get a signal to Afganistan.

I've always thought the the concept of Carpet Cops was a horrible idea. Part of what we do, and if you want to be successful, requires discretion. Some of the stuff I see I turn a blind eye too. As well as my wealthy customers don't want me posting pics of their homes.

Howard Partridge is a good example. His company cleans for congressmen and senators. They appreciate his discretion.

It's Texas. If it comes out of a gun, they gotta deal with it.

Other than my military I can't recall the last time I cleaned the house that had kids in it.

Actually my 9:00 a.m. Church Skipper today may have a BB shooter or two.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I do work for property management companies and individual rental owners. Quite a bit of it. Anyone who does rental cleaning runs into this.

Can you just get me one more time?

I always recommend replacement with low expectations of cleaning.

Good times this morning.
