JUDY'S CARPET CLEANING

unknown

The appointment was scheduled by a telemarketing call! something I would not normally do. But the timing was right, as I had just determined it was time for clean carpets! Following the call, I did check Angie's List for recommendations before confirming the appointment. Having seen the company there, I went ahead. Make notes when you set things up, so you have questions answered regarding time and materials and price. My price ended up somewhat higher than the phone estimate because of the addition of an extra wool area rug and my under-estimate of the size of the larger wool rug. Michael, the tech, arrived on a timely basis, with a minor amount of equipment and material----a single, but heavy-looking machine with a large circular head at its base, a spray canister for pre-treating, and a small amount of cleaner which he mixed with a small amount of water for the machine, and brushes for hand-cleaning the wool area rugs. He came in his own truck (no logo displayed from the company) and was dressed very casually, but comfortably for the job. (This is no national company with a uniformed tech driving a van with logo!) He reviewed the order and took a look at each area to be cleaned. He measured the wool rugs for accurate pricing. He offered some additional services,(germicides, deodorizing.....this home is pet-less, smoke-less, ,etc., so I did not add to my order). I moved all small items of furniture, knick-knacks, plants, etc., myself which I had asked about ahead of time, as some cleaners, (this company as well), do NOT move furniture.......... The LR sofa was on and quot;slidersand quot; so it was easy for him, or me, to push aside for vacuuming and cleaning. He vacuumed everything before cleaning and also pre-treated with a light spray. A dry-foam product is used for cleaning, so carpets dried almost immediately.....loved that! He was logical in the order he cleaned: starting in the lower level, and finishing on the main floor near the front door. Working on his hands and knees for the wool rugs and steps is a tough job, and he was very diligent. He was here about three hours. He mentioned tipping was acceptable, and I did add 10%. The carpets and rugs look really good! I would use them again.

Although I never accept sales offers via phone, I am new to the area and needed my Persian rug cleaned. When the sales rep called, I was interested in the offer and accepted the appointment and the estimate. The service man arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and did a good job. My only issue is that numerous and quot;add onsand quot; drove up the price significantly. Admittedly, we did not have to accept these services, but--hopefully--they will be worth the additional cost in the long term. Besides, we are new to the area and unfamiliar with the going rate here. Having said that, we were pleased with the work and will definitely use this company again.

I have used her couple of times, and she has done great work. I had her go over to my son's house a few months back. She used to do each house of ours that we lived in, but I haven't had one done by her in this house yet. I have two shepherds, two Chihuahuas and two cats, so they use the industrial stuff that they spray because of animals if I want it. They are very reliable and do an excellent job. The house smells great afterwards. They are very good and professional people. I would use them again in the future.
