Here's the story....
First off I was exhausted yesterday from polishing a bus. Get home sit down to relax and the neighbor calls me and asks me to carry a 50' tv in her home for her. So I am now dead tired and have no strength left but to get to the bed. Then I get a call from a guy that a friend referred at 730 at night asking me to spot clean his mustang seats. I asked how many spots, what type of seats, etc .... normal questions. He says that there are 10 spots from where his dog pooped, stepped in it, and tracked it everywhere.
I am between extractors cause mine died a coupe months ago and I am waiting to maybe get a Vapor Steam system instead before spring.
First off, he was not very nice at all..... but I chalked that up to the situation pissin him off. Second, I told him that they should be extracted and not spot cleaned - too many spots and they could leave clean spots.... plus extraction would help get any smell out of the seats that may be there. I told him I would have to rent a machine to do it and because of that I couldn't hook up the price (friend referred him for a hook up price). He then says "Well me and my girlfriend aren't working right now and don't have the money and I was gonna trade the car in tommorrow" but in a rude tone. Ok..... well, Im getting irritated cause Im exhausted and getting a little tude over wanting his seats cleaned for next to nothing. But I tough through it and tell him he can bring it by my place and see about spot cleaning them for him for free. As Im telling him this I realized that my better half took my truck with everything in it to her work. So I instantly tell him this and tell him I can get to it tommorrow if he wants to bring it by...... then I get an attitude from him saying "No! I'll just do it myself!" and he hangs up!
This is frustrating! Why would someone call first off looking for something done next to nothing if anything and get an attitude through the whole thing? I was exhausted and the last thing I wanted to do was clean dog crap out of someone's seats in the middle of the night, but I gave him options (one of them being to do it for free) and he chose to be like this?!?!??!? Sometimes I don't understand people at all!
