Worst Moment in Carpet Cleaning

I've been in business for under a year and I have already had some nightmares happen. I mean so far nothing I couldn't fix, but a nightmare at that.  Now this kind of got me to thinking if I have been in business less than a year and have already expericienced some nightmares than what's in store...   Who better to tell me the possibilties of whats left to face than other carpet cleaners themselves. I Figure if anything at least hearing others stories will get me and other CC's who "haven't seen nothing yet" atleast prepared... So what's your horror story??

I have so many, I wouldn't know where to begin.

Do you have a few hours?

Man, I've got sooooo many stories.  One time I had a new guy who was hired be part of a job that involved cleaning the upholstery of 3500 theater seats. A couple of the guys taught him what to do, and then they each went to their own areas and started to work. When I arrived the guy had been cleaning chairs for over 4 hours. I looked at his work and it look HORRIBLE. Turns out that he never knew that he was supposed to squeeze the trigger on the handtool. He thought he was just supposed to suck off the prespray and spotter. I guess he thought the trigger was a finger guard. Duh!

Had a guy clean a whole house with the waste tank open on the truck

stop using that DFC-105 buddy.

Start using DFC 105
One of 2 things could have caused your problem
1. Previous cleaning was a powder system Capture or Host

2. Cleaning staff uses Love My Carpet/ or something similar as a deodorant to make the rooms smell fresh and clean.
Both of these will create the same problem you are encountering.
