The last few times I've been driving around a particular corner in my extended neighborhood, I've spent the next 15 or so minutes musing about a bandit sign that says if I have a dirty carpet I should visit the website for a company called Ethical Services. I would list the sign verbatim, but I don't want to start getting crazy trackbacks.
Anyway, the fact that a company with this name would offer carpet cleaning has sent my mind reeling on how many different permutations might bring me to the point where I need my carpet cleaned by them. Here are two that Bill and I discussed this morning:
Me: "Your crime of passion against your spouse/lover has left a huge blood stain on your living room rug. What to do? Call Ethical Services. We can counsel you on cleaning—and confession."
Bill: "Night of passion with your new lover left red wine all over your spouse's expensive Persian rug? Ethical Services can help you get that stain out—and get your marriage back on track."
I'm taking scenarios from anyone out there willing to play along.
Nasty meth-cooking residue ruining the rug in your trailer home? We can help. (And, for a limited time only, get $200 toward dentures with each carpet we clean!)

The dentures are my favorite part.

All I can think of is how cats can ruin carpets… Both of your ideas (plus that “dentures” part on the comments) were also realistic. But, I think cats can be one of the most common reasons for many. They pee on it, scratch it, leave hair trails, and so much unpredictable doings! Well, it’s natural for cats to do those. Cat owners must be really thankful of carpet cleaners…
