He was a rip off, he charged me to much and did a horrible job. Came back as spots were coming back, and sprayed it but made it worse. So I just got out my rug shampooer and did it myself.

The area was small with some splashes. The tech dyed the fibers and did an excellent job of matching the color. After the dye dried, some bleached fibers began to show up again. The owner said that this is not uncommon, and the tech came out again at no charge. A few of the fibers were too damaged to take the dye, and he used a marker on these fibers. The carpet looks great! We understand that the fibers treated with a marker will need to be re-touched periodically, but this solution saved us from a much more costly replacement. It was very nice dealing with this company, and the tech was great!

As always, the Spotman crew was excellent. Ukiah(?) is his name. Very personable, helpful, prompt, professional. We have dogs, and per Spotman's guarantee, all problematic spots were removed. Used a coupon, too. Carpet looks great. We always use Spotman...

Their website said they could clean old-fashioned oil-finish/varnished wood floors. I was home while they worked, and soon noticed that they were using a cleaner diluted with a lot of water. You are never supposed to use water on any kind of wood floor, whether it has an oil or a polyurethane finish. When I commented on this, I was told that this is how they always clean wood floors, and they proceeded with the same cleaning solution. The finish was left dull and opaque-looking after they left. We were able to bring the finish back with a solvent-based wood cleaner/polish. The other thing is that they pulled back and tucked up some light beige curtains in order to work, and the curtains now have dirt and grime on them. The technicians were very pleasant, courteous and professional.

Response from The Spot Man
We am sorry you are not happy with the results, so staying true to our Happiness Guarantee, we are refunding your entire payment. We use solutions formulated by wood floor finish manufacturers as we are instructed in their certification classes. Sometimes floors need more than one cleaning to return them to their original luster, which we would have performed free if we had been made aware of your dissatisfaction. We are always very aware of our Customer’s belongings and in our 15 year history have never had dirt and grime deposited on curtains after we raised them up off the floor.

It went very well. Daniel was very thorough, professional and courteous. Got out spots we didn't think he could. Cleaned an area that had had a huge desk sitting on for 26 years. Erased it's "footprints" and got rid of marks left by the legs. Also did a second attempt on an area where we had spilled printer ink/toner. It is barely noticeable now. We were so pleased!

It went very well, as outlined above. The two young men doing the work were exceptionally hard-working and polite.
Description of Work: Cleaned several rooms of light -colored carpet and concentrated on a couple of very tough (and not new) spots. We think they did a wonderful jab. They could not get out one particular spot, but we feel they did the best that could be done, considering it was from printer toner and had been on the carpet for two months. Rich's office called and volunteered to come out again and give it another try. We declined the offer. The spot is barely noticeable and we feel any further attempt might damage the carpet.

Response from The Spot Man
I am glad you are happy overall but I wish you would allow us to return and retreat that stain. (The retreat is FREE). Some stains require 2 treatments and the fact that it lightened indicates that it should be completely removable. Also please be assured that the solutions we use will not damage your carpet. Thank you for using The Spot Man.

They did a fantastic job. There were stains that other carpet cleaning companies were unable to remove. But the Spot Man got them out. They worked very hard trying different solutions until they found one that worked. Some of our carpet is berber and they use a different solution for that than for the synthetic fibers. The carpets were much cleaner than with other companies. The carpet on the main floor stairway looks brand new (it is 20 years old). They did have to return to retreat some areas but in the end all of the spots were removed. I had them return 3 times and each time and each time there was less to do. Some stubborn spots or stains required more than one treatment, but they did come out eventually. The Spot Man did as promised. I was really amazed.
Description of Work: I had all the carpet in in my house cleaned. This included the master bed and bath, four additional bedrooms, two stairways and a hall. The rest of the house is wood or marble flooring. There were several spots and stains, some of which came with the house when we bought it.

I contacted them by phone to ask about the likelihood of being able to remove stains from my handmade wool area rug. They were honest about what they could and could not do. I brought the rug to their shop and was able to pick it up a week later. Looks great!

Overall, it went very well. The couch that was cleaned was excellent. I couldn't tell much difference between the job of the chain carpet cleaner and this service.
Description of Work: The owner came in and walked through the areas and did a thorough assessment. The cleaning guy was very professional. They are top notch. However, if you don't have difficult pet stains, I don't think it is worth the expense for a routine carpet and sofa cleaning.

Response from The Spot Man
I am very glad you are happy with the cleaning results and the professionalism of my cleaning techs. You are correct the original price for the cleaning was about $300 however the Special Angie’s List Member Discount brought the price down to $221. The intangible, that is not readily apparent, is that our slower more thorough cleaning process removes the detergent we and previous cleaners have used. This means your carpet and sofa will stay cleaner longer because there is no sticky residue left to attract soil. So you won’t need to have the cleaning performed as frequently.

Mr. Ukiah did a fantastic job! He was very thorough and made sure all stains were removed. I have already recommended to friends. It may cost more, but after seeing the results and time spent - it is well worth it!
