I concur with the short, positive reviews listed here, but if you want a little more background,…read moreread on...
I initially considered the "do-it-yourself" route by renting a Rug Doctor machine (and all that comes with that... buying the carpet cleaner shampoo, pretreatment chemicals, extra-charges, the time to do the work, transport equipment, etc.), and even asked friends for their feedback on this process. Bottom-line, I didn't have to time nor the complete confidence of getting professional results by doing it myself.
After careful on-line research to check on companies and related reviews, I decided on Breathe Easy which turned out to be the best choice.
Doug is the Owner of this family-run business and along with his wife, Laura (via initial phone call), they made this experience very pleasant. Yes, their website has much info and pic's, but it was the honest, sincere approach of being able to ask several questions upfront without being rushed that had me commit to an appointment, which was done one week in advance.
Other reviews have echoed the same, and the price point in my case was VERY reasonable for cleaning 4 std-size rooms and a staircase; the price was even lower than some of those alleged "special coupons" you receive in the mail. A little extra-effort on some misc. areas came at no-extra charge! per Doug, who performed the actual cleaning.
The process took 2 hours that started @ 9 AM and carpeting was dry by that early evening (had the A/C on). It helps tremendously to have your items out of the way, including tieing-up low, hanging draperies. I did have three large units which I could not move (china cabinet, piano, office desk) which was no issue as the carpeting around these areas was done carefully. Yes, there are various carpet types to consider so feel free to inquire ahead of time. My home has the usual beige, builder-installed carpet grade, which looked new again after 9 years, including two kids and two dogs!
During the actual cleaning, I was able to follow Doug around and ask questions as needed. FYI, he will need a sink to fill-up his machine (he uses a 5 gal bucket he brings) and has a wand tool when cleaning the hard-to-reach areas and stairways. Refused water will be flushed down your toilet. The noise-level was like that of a large,shop vacuum-cleaner. No issues for me.
Modestly, we keep our home clean and recognized we still needed to get the carpet cleaned sooner. So, in closing, I confidently recommend Breathe Easy Carpet Cleaning and don't hesitate to contact them. I recommend highly the value and experience they provided!
