I mopped it up on my hands and knees with a rag but once it dried the salt is still showing through so I'll have to go re-do it probably more than once. They also came through the kitchen and dining room to the living room to do stuff with the thermostat. Didn't make as much of a mess but I still had to clean it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-clean-up-after-repair-service-people#post-2066632 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:55:06 +0000 PinkElephant 2066632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rude! The ConEd guy never takes off his boots when he checks our meters and it makes me so mad I've vowed to start making him put bags over his feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-clean-up-after-repair-service-people#post-2066624 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:52:31 +0000 MaryM 2066624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's pretty rude. When I've had service people come in, they usually slip on those boot covers (especially if they're going where there's carpet) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-to-clean-up-after-repair-service-people#post-2066622 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:51:13 +0000 Bao 2066622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't think of the correct term for these types of people but we had a new furnace installed today and I had a lot of floor cleaning to do. They tracked in through the back door, down the stairs and through the basement (also used the bathroom) and left snow/mud/salt ALL over. It wasn't the end of the world to clean it up but I just thought they would at least halfway wipe it up. I'm guessing it is pretty normal to have to clean up after services like this? </p>
