rug/carpet大小地毯soiled/stained脏的不同

 原文：

W: Thank you for calling Eastland Cleaning.

M: Hello. Our company moved in our current building last year, and our rugs and carpets are starting to look soiled and stained. Your company can take care of cleaning them, right?

W: Yes. We can send a team with steam-cleaning equipment.

M: Great! But um. Are the chemicals you use bad for people’s health?

W: Not at all. Everything we use is non-toxic.

M: I’m glad to hear that. And how regularly do your crews visit a site?

W: It depends on your needs. You can select to have it done weekly, monthly, or less often than that.

M: Hmm, I guess we’d need it once every quarter.
