Re: I Need To Invest In A Bio-hazard Suit
You're a better man than me. Ugh I just about threw up dinner. That green mystery cup holder stuff did me in. Looks like you. Got your money's worth out of that Bissell machine.

Great turn around . Vehicles like this do kind of frustrate you. Light color carpets are a pain also . Customers that neglect their vehicles and only wash them once a year if that are a pain . But hay if it gets you referrals and a way to get some before and after photos then that's a plus. Because of cars like this I have started stating that details start a so and so price . I also specify that the turn around is not going to be 100% . And yes a hazmat suit eiuld be great lol

Bolded part above is very important.
Always make sure customers know that the package price will be modified in accordance with the condition of the vehicle. Also, advise them that stains may not come out 100%. They will appreciate this honesty upfront and this protects you from someone coming back and questioning why this stain and that stain didn't come out.
OP, you from the Toledo area? I have only seen 1 van in my life that wasn't thrashed and why I am hesitant to do any vans in the future. Even though the money can be good, at some point you grow away from these types of cluster-fs to save your back, lol.

This why I have posted many times I never quote interior work till I see the car so you don't get burned.

I don't know what was worse between that and the dried up Go-Gurt in the back floor. The Bissell has treated me very well the last couple of years. I think it really helps get that last little bit of a stain out and lifts dirt out.

She was smiling a lot and said thank you so much. She wanted to take it to a shop and I told her they would have probably charged her double what I did. She was very very happy and was taking it to a friend of hers straight from my place.

Thanks. After the Grand Prix I did awhile back I always include that price will be dependent on vehicles overall condition because I lost my ass on that detail.

I am actually south of Toledo from a small town of Ottawa.

Interior's are always that wild card. Exterior's, for the most part, are pretty straight forward.

7 hours ?? That must have seemed like an eternity. Her house probably looks about the same as her van's interior. BTW, great job!!
