Hi guys, I just wanted to ask some advice on my 1st job doing rugs. I have included 2 sets of pictures of the rugs an existing customer has asked me to clean for him, there are 6 rugs in total, 4 sets of one rug and 2 of the other.
My concern is that they stink to high heaven of dog urine, I had arranged for the customer to meet my Father at my address to drop the rugs off and he had taken the rugs off the customer and placed them on my kitchen floor, problem being that my Father has lost his sense of smell and my other half arrived home before I managed to and I got the biggest bol****ing of my life!!! My gf had to go around her Mothers because she couldn't stand the smell. I arrived home and as soon as I walked through the front door the smell hit me. I had a quick look over them and all 6 rugs and judging by the multiple stains on the backing it looks like they have been saturated with urine, I quickly took these photos whilst on the verge of being sick and they are now sitting in the shed.
My main question is the value of the rugs, would it be worth me even attempting to clean them? I haven't asked the customer the value, I just wanted to ask for some advice on here prior to doing so. If I do go ahead with the clean, what method would be most appropriate with regards to the dog urine? I was thinking M-Power with a long dwell.
Any suggestions or advice would be grateful. Thanks.
ps. I have received training in carpet cleaning, upholstery and also spot & stain but not had any training or experience with rugs.
