Potato Salad Spillage Causes Cleaning Debacle

I was at the wake following a family funeral and the thorny subject of industrial cleaning and janitor services came up. Not quite as balmy as that may seem as we had all witnessed the unfortunate incident when a member of the waiting staff tripped on something and upended the large bowl of potato salad she’d been carrying. The mess was spectacular and apart from it covering many square inches of the once blue and green carpet, had managed to attach itself to quite a few expensive suit trouser legs. The mess was rapidly cleared up but of course there was residue to be seen to. The carpet was damp and slippery so immediately action was needed on that score. A lad came out with a bucket and spongy cleaning aperatus, it really needed something a bit more substantial so one of the guests took matters into her own hands and demanded a scrubbing brush and drying cloths. Hence the later discussion about how good certain local commercial cleaning companies have or have not been!
