So I'm out on a deep clean job for this hoarder house, and the lady calls me mid-job saying her cat knocked over a bottle of Method cleaner all over her white carpet. Me and my helper are knee-deep in dust bunnies and old pizza boxes when she starts screaming about the stain turning everything tie-dye. Turns out the cat was high on catnip and batted it across the room, now we've got to switch from scrubbing grout to emergency spot treatment with a Bissell Little Green machine. I tell her, 'Ma'am, we're pros but this is next level,' and she just sighs like it's my fault. Halfway through blotting, the cat jumps on my back trying to 'help,' nearly knocking me into the mess. Finally got it semi-clean but man, what a circus. NGL, laughed about it with the boys later.

pets + chemicals = lawsuit waiting. always get a waiver signed.
