Howard Partridge founded Clean as a Whistle in 1984. Partridge was in the restaurant business before entering the carpet cleaning industry. Being experienced in fine dining, he knew how to serve people. Partridge quickly realized that most carpet cleaning companies were not providing good service and did not seem to know about cleaning either. Additional contact name - Johann Deleon. Additional e-mail - info@cleanasawhistlehouston.com. Award winning.
The company did a great job. They showed up on time, finished within the expected time-frame, and left an impression that they cared about having done a good job. They took pride in the fact that they were able to clean the pathway in the hall without leaving any trace of it.
Description of Work: They cleaned and re-stretched the hall carpet, cleaned two bedrooms, and a small bath. The guys also cleaned the path from the front door to the den at their expense because it was a wet day and they had tracked in a bit of dirt.

Great work. They were on time, treated the spots, did a thorough job, and left me with a spot cleaner for future use. Also, when arranging the service on the phone they provided a reasonable estimate and inquired about and factored in the Angie's List discount.
Description of Work: Cleaned 2 rooms, a hallway, and a stairwell.

Both men arrived clean and professional looking. One came in the front door to look over the job while the other moved their truck to my back door. They walked from room to room, pointed out and described problems and what they would do to correct them. All questions were answered thoroughly and politely. I was given a quote for the job before they started the cleaning. I had moved most of the small furniture into a room that wasn't to be cleaned;the remainder of heavy furniture they placed on styrofoam blocks as they cleaned. They finished about one hour before the manager had estimated. Every thing had been put back in place before they left. After it dried and I could go back in and walk on it, I could tell right away they had done an excellent job. I chose this cleaner because they had an A rating and that was the type job I wanted done, and that was what I got.
Description of Work: With their 12 point program, they came in and cleaned most of the carpeted spaces in my home. My husband had been ill for quite some time and the walk ways and his personal space had become soiled and in general dirty. I knew it was dirty in places that didn't even show. I am very pleased with the job they did. There were two stains that they saw before they started that they informed me that that probably would not come out, but they would try. The stains had been there for years and sure enough they did not come out.

I had called and set up an appointment to have their "12 step cleaning process" done on all of my carpet, which includes commercial pre-vacuuming. When they started spraying solution in the dining room, I commented on the fact that they were suppose to vacuum first, (I have two dogs of my own and four when my daughters are here from college) and he said that it broke as they were vacuuming upstairs, but it wasn't that important because the steam-cleaning gets most of the dirt and dog hair, not the vacuuming(even though their website says the "pre-vacuuming is one of the most important steps" of cleaning the carpet.) When they were done cleaning I ran my hand a few times over the carpet and came up with handfuls of pet hair. They raked the carpet a few times only in the dining room but I was still very upset. I can imagine the amount of dirt they left from not vacuuming first. They offered to come back and do the downstairs again and set up an appointment for next week, what a pain!
Description of Work: Cleaned carpet in four bedrooms, living room, dining room, game-room and stairway. Was suppose to be done with their "12 step carpet cleaning" but halfway through the job, the vacuum broke (step 2,) I never saw them "pre-groom with a carpet groomer or rotary cleaning machine" (step 5,) even though my carpet was heavily soiled, I never saw the "dry bonnet" (step 9,) nor did they use high velocity fans (step 10,) so I paid for a 12 step cleaning process and only received 8 steps.

WE CERTAINLY APOLOGIZE FOR THIS, AND THIS IS NOT THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR OUR TECHNICIAN NOT TO DO THE 12 STEPS. THIS IS WHAT WE PROMISED. THIS IS WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. FOR THE LAST 22 YEARS, WE HAVE ALWAYS ATTEMPTED TO KEEP OUR COMMITMENTS, AND WE DO OFFER A 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. IN THIS CASE, THE VERY DAY THAT WE BECAME AWARE OF THE SITUATION, WE SCHEDULED A RETURN VISIT AND CLEANED ALL AREAS REQUESTED BY THE CLIENT WITH THE 12 STEP CLEANING PROGRAM. THE CLIENT AGREED THAT SHE WAS PLEASED. OUR OFFICE MANAGER THEN CALLED TO MAKE CERTAIN. OUR INTENTION IS TO ALWAYS EXCEED OUR CLIENTS EXPECTATIONS. FROM TIME TO TIME, EVEN THOUGH WE DO THOROUGH TRAINING, BACKGROUND CHECKS, AND HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR AS LONG AS 20 YEARS, OCCASIONALLY A CO-WORKER DECIDES THAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY BY THE RULES (OR FORGETS), BUT OUR CLIENTS WILL NEVER HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT. WE WILL ALWAYS RETURN TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. IF THAT DOESN'T SATISFY, WE OFFER A 100% REFUND. WE REGRET THAT THIS CLIENT'S TIME AND INTELLIGENCE WAS NOT RESPECTED. THE EMPLOYEE HAS BEEN WITH US FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS BEEN A GREAT EMPLOYEE OTHERWISE. WHY HE MADE EXCUSES IN THIS CASE, NO ONE KNOWS. HE WAS WRITTEN UP BECAUSE WE WILL NOT ALLOW AN EMPLOYEE TO BREAK OUR PROMISE TO OUR CLIENTS. OVER THE PAST 22 YEARS, WE HAVE MAINTAINED AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION (AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PREVIOUS REPORTS). THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND. -HOWARD PARTRIDGE, PRESIDENT

I had thought this would be a complete carpet cleaning, and the original estimate was $600+. Still based upon other Angie's List reports, I thought this was reasonable. They called and moved the appointment to earlier in the day. On arrival, Jermaine and Charles were very friendly, sizing the job up as more a spot cleaning and deep cleaning of the trafficked areas in the aforementioned rooms. They did a phenomenal job, and all but two spots came up completely. (We had mostly coffee and kitty urp spots). Only a red stain failed to disappear entirely. There was also a mold stain that wont come up but was significantly reduced in intensity. The men were efficient, professional, friendly, and had good suggestions for preventing further stains. They moved small pieces of furniture. The charge is based upon square footage, and moving furniture is not extra. The price seems a little high, but I am quite pleased and would use them again. They will be coming out to stretch carpet in future.
Description of Work: Vaccuum, clean carpet, remove spots and apply protectant. Area approximately 1000 sq feet carpeted. Hallway and 4 bedrooms, living area and dining room.

I called this company because of its great reviews on this list--I figured that if they could not take care of the dirt and stains then no one could and it was time to replace the carpets. They were amazing! Even the initial phone call was more courteous and professional than I've come to expect. The workers came on time, asked me about the sources of the stains, explained what they were doing, and worked in a very professional, friendly manner. They had been scheduled to work three hours, but it ended up taking about five. They didn't rush but were extremely careful and thorough. They got out stains that I was certain were in for life, and my carpets look almost new again. These folks definitely know their business, and I'll continue to use them (because that pesky dog is a mess...).
Description of Work: I needed three carpets, two upholstered chairs, and one bench cleaned and Scotchguarded. I had recently had extensive landscaping done in my yard, and my dog had tracked dirt all over in spite of my efforts to clean her paws. Also, two of the carpets had been cleaned professionally by another company several years ago, and stains remained.

This company performed an excellent job in cleaning my carpet. There were stains that I thought could never come out, and they were able to get them out. My carpet was spotless when these guys were finished. There were only a couple of furniture stains left that the estimator told me they wouldn't be able to remove because of its nature. However, the stain was less prominent after their attempt. There was also a portion of my carpet that was ripped and they stretched it and made it look like new.
Description of Work: They cleaned all the carpet in the house, and stretched a worn portion.

I have had nothing but good quality work from this company. I have been using them for quite sometime and I am pleased. The people are very nice. When they come out they actually move all of my furniture so that they are able to get behind things, I think that is wonderful. The heavy stains that I sometime encounter, are never a problem the stains are always deep cleaned and removed without a problem. The carpet is usually dry within an hour or so, which I dont think is too bad. The price is fair, I usually pay in advance and if the service is not that much, I am refunded.

Clean As A Whistle took my call promptly and came around to give me an estimate. Their prices were quite reasonable, and they explained the cleaning system and the guarantee. The cleaning was scheduled for the next day, and the technician was on time. He moved all the furniture in the two rooms he cleaned and moved it back in place when he was finished. He did a wonderful job, and the carpet looks brand new. I don't recall what they charged to clean my furniture.

THESE GUYS ARE GREAT. AS TIME = MONEY FOR ME, HAVING A GREAT SERVICE PERFORMED ON TIME IS CRITICAL, SO AS NOT TO WASTE MY TIME MAKING $. ALTHOUGH THE PRICE WAS MUCH ABOVE WHAT OTHER COMPANY'S ''ADVERTISED PRICES'' ARE, THE RESULTS WERE PHENOMENAL. THE ORIGINAL CARPET OF MY 6+ YEAR TOWNHOME HAS BEEN CLEANED TWICE IN 6+ YEARS BY ANOTHER COMPANY, YET CLEAN AS A WHISTLE MADE IT LOOK BRAND NEW. THE TECHNICIANS WERE ON TIME (TIME IS MONEY), AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. THEY DID NOT TRY TO ''UP SELL'' ADDITIONAL SERVICES/TREATMENTS. THEY SHOWED ME THEIR WORK ALONG THE WAY AND WERE OPEN TO QUESTIONS. BOTTOM LINE - CLEAN AS A WHISTLE WAS MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT DEFINITELY WORTH THE EXTRA $. THIS TRULY IS A SITUATION OF YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND IN THIS CASE - EXCELLENT WORK. I WOULD MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ''CLEAN AS A WHISTLE'' FOR CARPET CLEANING SERVICES.

THE OFFICE TEAM WAS WONDERFUL AND VERY RESPONSIVE. THEY WERE A BIT PRICEY, BUT LIVED UP TO THEIR REPUTATION (AND DIDN'T GIVE US ANY SURPRISES!). THEY WERE TIMELY, PROFESSIONAL, AND A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH. WE ARE HAPPY TO SAY THAT NEITHER OUR CHILDREN OR PETS HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CHEMICALS, AND THE CARPET DRIED AS QUICKLY AS THEY SAID IT WOULD. WE WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN.
Description of Work: THEY CAME TO THE HOUSE AND MEASURED THE AREA TO BE CLEANED (ABOUT 2000 SQ FT), IN ORDER TO GIVE US A PROPER COST ESTIMATE. WE LIKE THIS METHOD OF SERVICE AS WE HAVE BEEN 'SURPRISED'' IN THE PAST BY OTHER COMPANIES WHO CHARGE PER ROOM, AND FORGET TO MENTION THE EXTRAS! THE NEXT DAY, THE TEAM CAME IN AND VACUUMED, TREATED SPOTS ON THE CARPET, AND THEN GAVE IT A THOROUGH CLEANING. THEY PROVIDED US WITH SPOT CLEANING TIPS, AND LEFT US A BOTTLE OF THE SPOT CLEANER THEY RECOMMEND.
