Happy Father’s Day!
To the dads who can grill in any weather, fix things with “leftover parts,” and somehow know the fastest backroad in Wisconsin—this one’s for you. Thanks for the laughs, the life lessons, and the legendary one-liners. Have a fantastic Father’s Day!
The surprisingly young holiday
Mother’s Day became an official U.S. holiday in 1914—but Father’s Day had to wait a little longer. It wasn’t officially recognized nationwide until 1972, when Richard Nixon signed it into law. That means Father’s Day is one of America’s “younger” national holidays.
The idea actually began much earlier. In 1910, a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd wanted to honor her father, a Civil War veteran who raised six children on his own after his wife passed away. She believed fathers deserved a day of recognition too—and her idea eventually grew into the holiday we celebrate today.
Over the years, Father’s Day has become less about neckties and toolsets and more about something far more valuable: time together. Whether it’s breakfast on the deck, a day on the water, a backyard cookout, or simply sharing stories around the table, the best Father’s Day gifts are often the memories we make.
So this June, as we celebrate the dads, grandpas, stepdads and father figures in our lives, remember—you’re taking part in a tradition that’s more than a century in the making.

Then just remember these four little words
Don’t you just love getting a little extra off a service? Especially when you weren’t expecting it. Do you know what else is fun? Helping your friends and family, and making them feel happy! Here is how you can do both of these “fun” things at the same time….
Everybody loves it when you do this!
When was the last time you told a friend, family member or coworker about a really great restaurant, book or movie? And, when they took your recommendation and were so happy that you pointed them in the right direction….didn’t that feel great?
People love it when you do the “footwork” and find something great for them. You save your friends/family time, money and possible disappointment when you show them the way to a good experience. You do this when you recommend good books, movies, doctors, hairstylists, restaurants or…even your carpet cleaner.
It’s not easy to find great companies. And carpet cleaners are no exception. Do you know how many “professional carpet cleaners” don’t have much more experience than pushing a vacuum? Do you realize how many carpets are left over-wet or with residue? Or how many “pros” don’t understand how to properly and permanently remove spots? These errors lead to rapid re-soiling and perpetuate the myths that carpet cleaning “doesn’t work.”
It’s hard to find a cleaner with a thorough knowledge in the chemistry of cleaning, with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all their work, five star service, and someone who handles your home with “kid gloves!” But you managed to find us!
Four little words to remember…
You see where we’re going with this don’t you? Now you have the chance to help your friends and family find a great professional cleaner. Plus, we will send a $10 referral Jensen’s gift card for each and every referral sent our way that becomes a client. That equals a chance for you to help people, while you look really cool and get a great discount! All because you simply remember to say these four little words, “Try my carpet cleaner.” Jensen’s Carpet Care & Restoration… of course!
