Im screwed

Yesterday i was cleaning a clients house. I was cleaning a stovetop of a expensive brand call wolf. It was made out of porcelain. Anyways it was badly solid so i googled solutions. baking soda with water make into paste. I left it on like i said say scrubbed it with a rag. How there is scratch marks around it. So now its damaged. It could cost me upto ten thousands dollars. 😔😭

maybe it's covered under insurance?

@Pretzel i hope so. I have so much guilt.

@GreenNatured95 sorry dear.
it wasn't intentional - but I know you feel horrible

@GreenNatured95 If they can afford expensive kitchen appliances I assume they can afford contents insurance so they'll have to claim on that. If you don't have any money then there's little point in them trying to claim it from you. They'll probably be pretty mad, people these days are so fussy about the over-priced c**p they spend their money on. If this is just a cash in hand job and you're not registered self-employed, watch out for them trying to drop you in it with the taxman.

I can't see how what you used scratched porcelain... I'd go as far as to say it's impossible. There had to have been some prior damage/wear to the surface.

oops tilt balls up you never did it on purpose though and the owner maybe a little understanding when you explain what happened [greennatured95]

Try some of this…. You can get it maybe at Walmart or an auto parts store

Baking soda and water is a very mild cleaner/abrasive are you sure it was scratched before.

Hey don't sweat it, be honest and upfront. It lends credibility to your business.
If you don't have insurance and plan to continue doing this then you should get some. If you work for a company they should have it.
1. When trying any new cleaning product on a new surface ( especially an expensive one) always test a small area first.
2. You live and you learn and by doing so you become great. You will never make that particular mistake again and oneday you will be so knowledgeable about what can and can't be done and what works best where.
Keep your head up.

Do you work for yourself or for a company/agency? If a company then they'll have insurance for these sorts of events

@Fluffybull myself

@GreenNatured95 And you don't have public liability insurance?

GreenNatured95 · 26-30, F

@Fluffybull no
