I don't think we could get away with that even if we vac'd first moved, padded all furniture, placed an air move to help it dry, and then groomed after...lol

| I live in Brandon Manitoba city of about 50,000 people. I charge that and get away with it most times because I have been doing this for 12 Years now , I use a brand new Prochem Peak and really good cleaning products, plus I am the ONLY one in town that cleans with soft water!! |

I tell many people to take their F**ken cottage back to the city with them when they go home and have it cleaned there? Since they think anything over $50.00 is outrages? ------------- Just My opinion |
