The benefits of having your carpet cleaned by someone who is trained to do so

26 Dec 2025 2:41 PM | Royce Martin

So I was walking the other day, and this guy comes to me and says "Hey! You! Yeah you with that stupid hat, I got to tell you something!". And I says to him "What is it?", and he shouts to me: "You seem like the type who doesn't know how to take care of yourself properly, bring me to your house before I smack ya!". Now, I was quite appalled by this man's utter rudeness towards me, but before I could object he hit me upside the head with such a force that I was knocked out cold for a while. I woke up, and found myself and the strange man inside my house, he must have used my license to find my address.

"Wake up you!" he screamed again, directly into my ear this time. I was especially irritated this time, I worked up all the courage I had and shouted "What!". "What is it you want!". "You want my belongings, my money, my life, then take them!". "Take them all you fiend, see if I care!" I stared at the man in defiance, expecting the worst to come: but I was then met with a calm, more sympathetic expression. He had the eyes of a poet, a kind, gentle man who could only want what it best for me. My lip quivered as he bent down to whisper in my ear, "It looks like you got some rather musky carpets there, have you not cleaned them in a while?"

I held back tears, an attempt to hide the shallow soul of the woman I had become, but I abandoned the thought as I embraced his shoulder, letting out all my suppressed emotions. I will never forget the words he said to me as he comforted me. "You know, I am a properly trained IJCSA member, that means I know how to deal with this sort of stuff, you get me?" I nodded my head in understanding, still clutching his shoulder for support. He produced a deep sigh, and said: "If you were to get someone who is not trained in cleaning carpets well to clean yours, they could leave all sorts of unseen problems that could later result in mold, leaving it in a state of disrepair more significant than before." I faced the man, and leant in to compress my lips into his, and kissed the man who you call your father today.
