This is a question for the detailers, as well as clients out there

Detailers: Do you stripe or pattern the carpets when cleaning? Why?

Clients: Do you prefer seeing the stripes or patterns? Why?

I love it, just a good finishing touch really.

Also let's the customers know that that part of the interior has been done.

Practically, it also adds some uniformity, especially with thick pile carpeting. Usually looks quite rough after a vacuum/scrub.

Why make things easy for yourself when you can make them incredibly difficult and complicated.
