wipe any prespray off of baseboards,floors furniture etc.

groom the carpet with a carpet rake

as mentioned customers (many) love booties

drop sheets for upholstery when it's on hardwood,tile etc. and I even use them when I'm not there to clean the carpet....

little things make BIG differences to customers IMO.

I do this too.... I have a nice pair that I bring in....I make sure the customers sees me  put them on... then I pretend to pump them up....they love that...then I do a few stretches and say "now I'm ready, time to work my magic"

I had no problems Lee... didn't have to show them a thing.... WSIB has been coming down hard on big companies lately though... I heard it's harder if the suspect company is under investigation...

my booties are water resistant but very expensive compared to sleep country and what some movers use. in fact you can reuse them

they're made by Kimberly Clark

How can subs have no WSIB??? They would have to be WSIB declared independent operators and in carpet cleaning that is very, very tough to get.

The booties will cause you to slip every easy... Even sleep country doesn't include them in there ad any more..Don't believe me check with the wsib regulations... It came down from head office for us...  Subs wear them it's our choice since a lot of them don't pay into WSIB

sorry for getting off topic Hooboy we are bad for that here

Why aren't booties covered by WSIB?

I also notice that Sears techs all wear booties now. But they don't worry about WSIB do they?

Booties are not covered under work mans comp... if you get hurt wearing booties... just don't tell...

But the throw mat is an excellent idea... I use white drop cloths instead

YOU WANT TO STAND OUT ABOVE THE OTHERS?

Wear booties inside the house and have a throw mat to put your stuff on inside the door.

CUSTOMERS LOVE THESE TWO THINGS.
