ending her journey. But wait! Yes, she knew what it was. Her face flushed red with anger but relief calmed her at the same time. It was her favorite rose vase, but still, what was this red stuff?
"Ned! Get in here this moment!" she projected through the house with a Zeus-like voice. Oh, was Anna in a different world now. The walls had returned securely where they belonged and now she was on a new mission. Where was the creator of this mystery red ooze? Ned, her six-year-old liked to build stuff like most kids do. He also liked to mix things. This is the scary thing. Anna had told Ned at least fifty times he could do all the "mad scientist experiments" he wanted but they needed to be out in the garage and only when his dad was with him.
"Ned, I see you peeking around that corner. Would you kindly move your little feet over this direction. NOW!!!" Anna didn't look real pleased with her son but in all truthfulness she actually couldn't help but be touched by the big brown-eyed panicked look she was getting. "Ned what is this red ooze all over my carpet?" "It's just juice, mom. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spill it. It was Cosmos fault." Ned timidly uttered with a tear. Cosmos was Ned's dog. Two years of four-legged torture. Torn-up curtains, dismembered shoes and we won't even mention the housebreaking adventure. Anyway, whoever was to blame, Anna needed to know what it was so she asked Ned, "Ned, there is no way this could be juice. Juice is runny like water and this stuff is more like red tar. What is it?" Ned replied almost proudly but quickly realizing this was no time to be proud of his creation, "It's what I call syuice!" "Syuice?" Anna repeated with a puzzled look. "Yeah, mom, I used strawberry syrup, the pink powder mix you have in that one can and jelly, and. . .and, oh yeah, a little root beer."
This was too much. Anna almost added her breakfast to the mess but then realized she had better get this stuff off the carpet before it became a permanent unwanted decoration. This is when most would have continued the panic Anna was in earlier and felt those walls crushing in again, but not Anna. No way. Not today. You see two weeks ago Anna had us visit her home and we gave her carpets their regular cleaning but this last time Anna also had us put down carpet protection and leave one of our home spotting kits.
Pretty scary story huh? But also very real. Can you imagine this same scenario in you home. Would you feel the same confidence as Anna? If you don't have carpet protection or at the least a spotter kit I will guarantee the panic would have continued with you. Along with a very permanent red stain right smack in the middle of your carpet.
As a professional in this industry I recommend prevention as the best cure. Ask yourself this... If someone in your family gets injured you need to have a first aid kit available. If you have a fire you need to be able to quickly pull out your fire extinguisher and if you spill something nasty on your carpet shouldn't you be prepared to protect this valuable item too? I highly advise that in every home you must have a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and a spot removal kit. I know a spot on your carpet may not be life-threatening, but if not properly taken care of it can definitely be very costly. Messes are going to happen. They are a part of life. Give me a call today and we'll be glad to let you know about your carpet and carpet protection. If it's been awhile since you've had your carpet cleaned, then we'll come out and give you a free carpet audit. Also, if you decide to have your carpets cleaned and protected, I'll give you a free carpet spotting kit. If your carpet doesn't need cleaning at this time, call us and we'll send someone out with a spotter kit at a very minimal cost. Remember that a spotter kit is a "first aid" kit for your carpet. Be prepared like Anna.

After Boss Visits His House And Comments
“Your Carpet Looks Great!”
Jim and his wife, Peggy, really wanted to make a good impression on Jim’s boss. Jim had been hoping for a promotion which would mean a $21,000 raise.
There was one other candidate for the new job. Jim was the younger and less experienced one. But he was full of energy and had done good things for the company. The other guy, Roger, had been with the company 8 years. Roger was a little hard to get along with and he didn’t want to lose his promotion to some young, new guy. (Roger was a little bitter.)
Roger had a trick up his sleeve. To get on the boss’ good side, Roger invited the boss and his wife over for dinner Friday night.
Poor Jim didn’t find out until Monday morning. When he found out he thought for sure he had lost his chance at getting the promotion. Jim decided that he should have his boss over for dinner too - to at least even up the competition.
Jim asked his boss over for dinner for that Friday night. (It was cutting it kind of close since his boss was making a final decision the following Monday morning.)
When Jim got home that night he told the whole story to Peggy.
Peggy was in a state of shock.
The house wasn’t in any condition for Jim’s boss come over. She had to do something and fast.
She knew she had time to clean up the place throughout the week. But the carpet just looked dirty, old and worn. She thought about buying new carpet but they couldn’t really afford it plus she only had 4 days - new carpet could never be installed in time. So that option was out.
Then she remembered she had heard one of her neighbors say how great I was. So she gave me a call. She thought that I wouldn’t be able to help her out on such short notice. But she called anyway.
Peggy Needed A Super Clean Carpet
And Fast!
To her surprise, I said I would squeeze her in since this was an emergency. We came over Thursday and cleaned all the carpets.
When Peggy saw the clean carpets she couldn’t believe her eyes! Her carpets had been transformed into practically new carpets again. She said they hadn’t look that good since the day they were installed.
After that everything went smoothly. Jim’s boss came over. Jim got his boss a drink and then showed him around the house. He had built a beautiful wood deck all the way around the back side of the house. It had intricate details including a trellis with red blooming azaleas on one side.
As they were coming back in Jim’s boss noticed how great their carpet looked. He said, “You and Peggy must vacuum your carpet every day and never walk on it!”
Jim just smiled.
Peggy had cooked up one of her specialties - homemade lasagna with sun dried tomatoes. She added the normal spices - oregano, parsley, and basil but then she added a special spice which was a secret. (She wouldn’t even tell Jim!) And she served it with homemade Italian garlic bread.
Jim’s boss loved it. He raved about it for days. Even at work which made Roger’s face turn all red on Monday morning.
That afternoon Jim’s boss called him and Roger in. It was time. His boss had made a decision.
As Jim sat there waiting to hear the results, his palms were sweating. After what seemed like forever Jim’s boss said, “Congratulations Jim, you’re moving up.” What a relief and a thrill, Jim wanted to jump up and down. But Roger was still there. He gave his boss a dirty look and walked out without saying a word. Jim said, “Thanks, you won’t be disappointed.”
You may not get a promotion if you get your carpets cleaned but your carpet will look great and your friends and even your boss will be impressed! Call today and schedule an appointment.
