After hosting our umpteenth annual Halloween costume party, our carpets were sorely in need of some attention. So we called up a local carpet cleaning company called One Source Carpet & Tile Care, and Shaun arrived with an assistant and some heavy-duty equipment. They proceeded to make short work of the white Berber carpeting in our living room where just a few days earlier, revelers had danced to the music of a very good band called "Stone the Giant."
There was this nasty stain that we'd been dueling with for a decade, ever since the year we had first installed the carpet, when someone had spilled soy sauce next to the sofa. The question of why anyone would bring soy sauce into somebody's white-Berber-carpeted living room has nagged us to this day. (No one ever "fessed up.") We have had other carpet cleaners attempt to dispel the "damned spot" but this time, with the help of Shaun, it seems to be gone.
Shaun also cleaned the grout in our tiled kitchen which is the stage for dozens of parties and gatherings every year. Everybody knows that the kitchen is today's version of the hearth of yore and people plus food will naturally put wear and tear on a kitchen floor. The tiled floor now looks so good that maybe it's time to celebrate with a party!
What we appreciated about the One Source crew was their attitude. They arrived on time, and they performed their work with a smile. Shaun said that he really enjoys cleaning carpets, and it shows in his results. This made me realize that it is a good idea to always hire or work with people who have good attitudes. Life is so short; why waste your time with people who aren't enjoying what they do in life?
