Got told I was cleaning wrong after 8 years on the job

I had a customer in Denver last month who watched me do her chimney and said I was pushing soot into her living room with my brush. She showed me how she wanted me to tape a plastic sheet over the fireplace opening first. I thought it was a waste of time but tried it on the next job. Now I save 20 minutes of cleanup per house and my customers stop complaining about dust. Any other sweeps here get called out by a homeowner and actually learned something?

@graytorres you're really splitting hairs over 20 minutes. It's basically the same argument either way - you save time or you clean less. Not exactly a groundbreaking difference. The real question is why people even care enough to argue about it on here. Some of yall act like it's a math competition when it's just someone sharing their experience cleaning houses. Chill out, it's not that deep.
