identify the smells causes. would sneaky work?

example, rug needs shampoo. i am selling these rug shampooers to supplement my income. would it be ok if i do a demo for my friend who is interested? he/she does not feel comfy at my house with no chaperone to supervise us. could i bring him/her over to clinch the sale? if u don't like lying offer to sell the thing for a dollar, buy it back for 50cents.

example, trash piled high. fire marshall wants to do an inspection, oh oh, this is not to code. i am writing u a warning, and if the trash is picked up there will be no fine. i bet u could use a real one if concerned about being truthful.

what about a social worker? if the advice comes from outside the family it may be listened to. the fire marshall could send one.

also, figure smart ways to prevent the smells occurring if u can. if she spills a lot get her mugs with lids for a present.
