I have never met such lazy carpet cleaners in my life! Actually, that's not completely accurate because I didn't meet these carpet cleaners, but they're still lazy.
I had my carpets cleaned today, and while I'll admit they are definitely cleaner, it would have been nice if just a little effort were put in by the cleaners. I understand not moving the couch, but how hard is it to push a coffee table out of the way so you can get under it? Or pull out a chair so you can get under the breakfast table?
To be completely honest, I'm not surprised. Last year, I didn't pick up one of my dog's toys, and they went around it. I think it's actually harder to go around a ball than to kick it out of the way, but that's exactly what they did. Sigh.

Lazy Carpet Cleaners
Like many apartment complexes, mine will clean your carpets for you whenever you renew your lease. I recently renewed my lease, so I figured I'd take advantage and schedule that cleaning.
In preparation for their visit yesterday, I picked everything up off the floor. They called shortly before arriving, so I decided to take the puppy and head out to run some errands and visit my sil while waiting for them to finish. We came home a couple of hours later to clean (and damp) carpet.
Things looked good initially, but then I noticed a few things. First, they didn't clean under the coffee table. I didn't expect them to move the couch or bookcases or anything like that, but how hard is it to go under the coffee table. Second, they didn't move the chairs; they just went around them. Again, how hard is it to move a couple of chairs. Finally, the went around the puppy's ball!! I thought I had picked up everything, but I missed the puppy's ball, and they didn't even bother to kick it out of the way. That's when I decided that these carpet cleaners are really lazy. Actually, I think it's more work to go around it than to move it out of the way.
If I had actually paid for the cleaning (yes, I know they just include it in the rent), I might be a little upset. But yesterday all I could do was shake my head and laugh.
