I fixed an appointment with Alex, after reading great reviews. Two times in a row, the person who was supposed to come did not turn up at the time which was decided on and I kept waiting. In all fairness, Alex did apologize later on calling but I had taken time off from work and it is not what I expect of a professional cleaner.
Finally, when the cleaning person came in on the 3rd appointment, there was a disconnect on the pricing that I had fixed with the owner. So it took me a while to explain and get that sorted out. He started convincing me for deep cleaning which costed twice as much but he would offer additional discount "especially for me"
When he started cleaning the carpets he said he wont be moving the furniture around. That was in conflict with what I spoke to Alex while scheduling.
When it came to our couch, I decided to go for the deep cleaning option that he offered. as he said that he woud be deodorizing our couch and and conditioning it as well. When the couch was finally deep cleaned, I found no difference in the effort, time or the product he used, so I started digging more about what excatly he did differently. On asking what extra product he used, he showed me a bottle of Odoban 3 in 1carper cleaner, which costed $10 from HomeDepot. And he charged me over $100 extra for deep cleaning with a bottle of just $10 !!! - homedepot.com/p/OdoBan-1...
Now when it came to payment, he asked me if I needed a receipt. Of course I did. What sort of a question is that for a professional cleaner to ask?! Took him 20 minutes to get the receipt after coordinating with Alex over phone. When he left, he left without cleaning the house full of rags and messy floors with footprints over cleaning liquid. I spent over 1 hour to clean the house after he left. So much for cleaning !
Last but not the least, I was told that carpet or couch will dry in 40 mins to 1 hour before, I scheduled the appointment. They were soaked after the cleaning that it took them 24 hours to dry completely! Imagine the fabric of the couch being soaked in cleaner, it had made our couch fabric lose a little bit of stretch !! And we were walking around over wet carpet because we had no option, what is the point of cleaning !
I realize that everyone else who has posted reviews has had great experience, I wanted to have similar experience too but I am completey disgusted by the whole experience !
