  • The plaintiff says the defendant brought her mother for a visit and she had an accident on her brand-new couch. She’s tried to have it cleaned, but it’s ruined. She’s suing for the cost of a new sofa. The defendant says she had the furniture professionally cleaned and checked with a black light, and it was fine. Now she wants a new loveseat, so that’s why she’s suing.

      I was back than kind of person that couldn't say no. I loaned a very large a mount hoping in return to get extra money. It was some kind of investment.

It cost them a lot of money just to rid the area of cat piss smell. And people have no clue their homes smell, and they smell too.
      My sisters and mother would come to visit me and I would have to discreetly turn on the whole house fan we had, open a window slightly even in the winter and try to keep them in a room that we always laid crocheted afghans on the furniture so I could wash them after they left. You could smell this on their clothes and in their hair.

I started to remove the floor tiles around the fireplace when I decided to use an outdoor cleaner called 30 seconds. I had nothing to lose. I sprayed in the affected areas and it started to fume up. 30 seconds later the smell was gone! It saved my fireplace and we didn't have to sell the house!

    I used to work in a care home where the ladies would wet things when the more negligent caretakers didn’t take them to the bathroom or secure their briefs correctly. that’s why when I brought my $2000 couch (which is a lot for a social worker, but I’m obsessed with it), I paid the extra $170 for a protection plan. Basically if it’s something that they can replace like a seat or back cushion gets messed up, they will do it for free. If they can’t do a replacement, they will replace the whole couch for free with something comparable. Having things go missing or damaged with no recourse is unfortunately something I’ve experienced a lot in the last few years, so I learned how to protect myself. Warrantees and protection plans are definitely important.
