Cannot recommend Platinum Air Duct Cleaning.They were hired by the apartment building to clean air ducts in all the units of my apartment building in February 2021.I was very disappointed with the Platinum employee assigned to clean my unit.He was rude, inconsiderate, unprofessional, incompetent.At my door, I advised the Platinum employee that I was at higher risk for COVID and I would appreciate if he touched the minimum amount of surfaces necessary.I received no customer service oriented response and he appeared disinterested and not listening.It seemed he was in a big hurry to get done and he ignored me.He definitely touched more surfaces than necessary because he didn't seem to care and he wasn't using his tools properly.(I'll explain this more later.)It was as if I said to him "Please touch as much of the entire bathroom as you can."Also, I tried to point out to him as he was starting the job that he wasn't giving proper attention to keeping the dust mess to a minimum and he just continued to ignore me while not changing his technique at all.I pointed out at the end of his cleaning the dust that landed on the counter.As I said this to him, I said clearly and forcefully that I will take care of the mess.He continued to ignore me and decided it was perfectly ok to slam on the sink faucet forcefully all the way on, swish his dirty rag from his pocket under the water and then sloppily and incompletely wipe the counter.I was concerned he was not wearing any gloves and he used a filthy used small rag that was likely used in other units.He was wearing a mask but I couldn't tell if it was a dust mask or a COVID mask.It did look like just a dust mask.To be fair, it was securely on his nose and mouth throughout his time in my unit.With a blower tool in one hand and a vacuum hose in the other, the employee began cleaning the vent overhead on the bathroom ceiling.The vacuum was not being held very near the blower tool so obviously the vacuum hose was not doing a very good job in sucking up the dust that the blower was blasting out and dislodging from the vent.So the dust was landing a lot on the floor, drifting and dispersing around in the air all over the bathroom.Common sense would tell you to hold the vacuum hose extremely close as possible to the blower.The mess this employee created was very unnecessary, very avoidable. The employee was short and so it was difficult for him to hold the hose up close to the blower as the dust was being dislodged from the vent.Common sense would tell you to bring a stool or small ladder with you to do a proper job so as to keep the dust mess down to a minimum.The units are designed the same with the overhead vent on the ceiling. Did this employee clean the other units like he did mine? I hope not but I suspect so because I didn't see a stool or ladder.Why didn't the employee have a stool with him? Common sense would also tell you to have some sort of large drop cloth available to collect and catch the dust.The employee only had a small dirty rag in his pocket.When the job was done and the vent was clean, naturally, the dust was in the sink, on nearly the full length of the countertop and on the floor.Common sense would tell you to use a vacuum to clean up the dust.The employee then began to use the blower to try to centralize or gather up the dust in a pile to supposedly make it easier for him to clean up the dust.You would need to see the blower in action as I did when he used it on the vent to conclude immediately that this method was ridiculous to gather up dust and wouldn't work well.Common sense would tell you, don't do it, don't even try it.I mentioned after a few squirts of air, it wasn't working and dust was flying everywhere.I asked him to stop and offered to clean myself and he could now leave and consider his work done.He kept using the blower as if he didn't hear me and of course, the area became harder for me to clean.To be fair, the duct was cleaned and overall, he did an ok job in cleaning the vent. Not a hard job and nothing I couldn't do myself. At best, a C+ in cleaning up the dust.The duct could have been cleaned better with less mess if a chemical, and hard brush was used. I could have asked him to clean some more, but I needed him out of there quickly. Can you understand why? If the tools were used properly, if he had all the equipment needed, he followed COVID procedures better, and he had a better customer service attitude, the results would've been faster,cleaner, and healthier. I'll never hire Platinum Air Duct Cleaning.Sloppy work.Weak results.Poor customer service.Other companies out there. read more
