Bright Side Inc

Upholstery Cleaning, Carpet Cleaning, Oriental Rug Cleaning,

About us

The Bright Side Inc offers a variety of residential and commercial maintenance services from carpet & upholstery cleaning, to air duct and dryer vent cleaning, leather furniture restoration, power washing, deck restoration and sealing services. The Bright Side, Inc. was founded in May of 1993 and incorporated in October of that same year. Our goal is to fulfill the unmet service needs of Chicago's north suburban area. While there are many carpet cleaning companies in the area, surprisingly few have the prerequisite knowledge to provide proper cleaning methods and maintenance advice and information for delicate and high-investment fabrics. The owners of The Bright Side, Inc. have positioned themselves to serve this market niche with extensive education regarding fabrics and fiber materials, the chemistry of cleaning and prior experience in the field. We are proud members of The Better Business Bureau and also carry several recognized cleaning industry certifications. We encourage you to call at (847) 251-6860 or email us for consultations.

They steam cleaned 8 hallways (3 stories) and applied Scotchguard. The carpet was showing a lot of dirt on the ground level where there is a lot of foot traffic. We cleaned it a year ago with another company, but it didn't make a big difference. This year we hired Bright Side due to their excellent Angie's List reviews. It was a good decision. They did a great job! We will be bringing them back yearly to perform this service.

Second time using their service. All went well AGAIN. They were able to remove or greatly reduce carpet stains. They did much better than a previous carpet cleaner I used before I contacted Bright Side, removing stains that the other company was unable to. Scheduling was quick and easy -- very responsive

Very well indeed. I own a townhouse that I rent out, and I needed carpet cleaning between tenants. Prior to move-in of the previous tenants, I had hired another company to clean the carpets, and they were unable to do much with red stain on white Berber carpet in the bedroom. Several years later, when the tenants moved out, I was fortunate enough to find Bright Side. Neil was able to fit into a very tight schedule (I had only five days between tenants to paint the place, do some minor fix-up, and have the carpets cleaned). Not only was he able to accommodate the tight schedule, but the work was excellent. Somehow he was able to almost completely eliminate a stain that had confounded the previous carpet cleaner. These are the people to call.

Neil (the owner) was super friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He came to give us an estimate on carpet cleaning at a time that was convenient for our schedule. He scheduled service within a few days of our estimate, again at a time that was convenient for our office. He also automatically added the Angie's List Coupon/discount without me asking. The carpet looks like new and we were very pleased with the final outcome. I would recommend Neil and Bright Side, Inc. to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient and well priced carpet cleaning services.

I found them on Angie's List. They were local, so I called them. I thought they were a little pricey. I would use them again, unless I found someplace else cheaper. The work was great. They did fine. The only thing I didn't like was that they left everything up on blocks which they have to do because how would the rug dry under it, but I have a terrible problem getting stuff down from the blocks.
Description of Work: They did carpet cleaning. They took a rug away and cleaned that.

After the initial cleaning there were some brown spots left on the carpet. They appeared after the workers left. When Neil heard about this he volunteered to come back and remove them. Today, he was here and the carpet is now spotless.

Response from Bright Side Inc
Dear [Member Name Removed]: I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing browning after cleaning. The cause of that is a rare, but naturally-occurring alkaline reaction, either from a detergent residue that was present in your carpet that reacted with our agents, or an area where my technician may have failed to properly neutralize with the right amount of the appropriate rinse agent. In either event, please know that we will happily return - at no charge to you - to reclean those areas. Please contact us at 847.251.6860 or email us at [Email Removed] to schedule this service. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it is generally not that hard to fix if you give us a chance to return and make things right. We appreciate your business. Yours, Neil

The Family room was a thorough cleaning with all the furniture moved. The other rooms I just had them clean the open areas and not move the furniture. Very well done. We had a dark spot on the carpet where my husband sits (no more shoes!) but Freddie was able to get it out. The whole house smells like oranges. Neil, the owner, left me a business card and a coffee mug.
Description of Work: Had 5 rooms cleaned and a hall.

Excellent! The technicians arrived on time, were friendly and efficient. Their work was top-notch in every phase. They clearly explained how they were going to do the work and completed the job only when we were completely pleased with what they had done. Without a doubt, Bright Side is an outstanding service organization. We will use them again.

It was fine, good. I honestly don’t remember when they came out. Probably three months ago. I think it was two people. It took two hours. I honestly wasn’t there, it’s very hard for me to say what they did well.

Our family was moving into a townhouse and we wanted all the carpets cleaned, and also wanted the air duct system in the house completely cleaned out. Neil, the owner, was so professional, kind and patient from the very first phone call. He and his crew were punctual on the day of the service, thorough with their work, and the results were outstanding! The Bright Side has a repeat customer in me, and I will be sure to spread the word on this great business.

Thank you so much for your positive review; it means a lot to us to earn it and that you help us spread the word! I think its important to clarify for the public's information that the pricing on the job we did for you referred to in the review is inaccurate. Your total bill for that work was $450. Again, I'm only correcting this information in an effort to be transparent to the public as regards our pricing. We look forward to working with you again! Neil H, Owner
