Follow-up to this story:
Yesterday I received a phone call from these people.
I thought: "Oh no, the carpet all fell apart right after I left their house". No, not at all. The wife told me that they thought I deserved more money for the job than I had charged then (It was just about $300, took about 4 hours, and they had given me a $25 tip)) and she said that she had sent me an additional $100. She also wanted to know if I cleaned upholstery as well. When I told her I did, she scheduled a second appointment to have three sofas cleaned. (I don't think I'll use the Fibre-Max pads on these, but, hey, you never know!)

clients paying me 1/3 more than i billed them for.


happens to me all the time.
