We had our 3 bedrooms cleaned and they turned out wonderful until a couple days later we had some dirt from the carpet pad wicking up and causing spots . They came back out (no charge) with an anti-wicking agent and spots immediately went away. Back to a beautiful carpet! I’ll definitely use them again.

Thank you for your review, Steve! We're happy to hear your tenant was pleased with the work our technician performed. I've also had the opportunity to review the before-and-after photos from your service, and the results look fantastic! I do have one question, though. We'd love to know what we could have done differently to earn that 5th star! Our mission is to "Make People Feel Good and Be Happy With Our Extraordinary Care," and we take that commitment seriously. If there was anything about your experience, from scheduling and communication to pricing or the cleaning itself, that fell short of your expectations, we'd genuinely appreciate the opportunity to learn about it. Thank you again for trusting us with your property. We truly appreciate your business and your feedback! - Jimmy Director of Operations

Now THAT'S what we love to hear! Who says you need to replace your furniture just because it's getting older? With the right cleaning process and a little extraordinary care, even 10-year-old upholstery can look amazing again! We're thrilled we could help breathe new life into your couch and chairs while saving you the expense and hassle of replacing them. Thank you for trusting us with your furniture and for sharing your experience, Jim. We truly appreciate your business and look forward to working with you again! - Jimmy Director of Operations

Seems like a very complex pricing structure, separate prices to bring the equipment into my home, odd. I only had three area rugs to be cleaned, under the square footage for the minimum charge. It was suggested that I add some tiled areas so I did. The tech warned me about a line between clean and dirty, I didn’t realize how much different it would be. I wish he’d showed me how different it was before he cleaned up. It’s very noticeable now that the floor is dry. So I’ll have to hire someone else to clean the rest of the tile, sigh…

Dianne, thank you for your feedback. While we're glad you recognized the noticeable difference our cleaning made to your tile and grout, we're disappointed your overall experience didn't meet your expectations. We'd like to clarify a few details, as clear communication, exceptional results, and extraordinary care are extremely important to us. Regarding pricing, our $99 setup fee covers dispatching our professional truck-mounted equipment, setup and breakdown, and our detailed site protection protocol, including door seals, shoe covers, corner guards, protective wraps, and speed-drying fans. These measures reflect our commitment to protecting our clients' homes and providing a higher level of service. Your original phone estimate was $282, while your final invoice was just $262.60. That's $19.40 less than quoted. We don't compete to be the cheapest cleaning company; we strive to deliver exceptional quality, professional service, and outstanding value. Regarding your tile and grout, Brian specifically explained BEFORE cleaning that stopping in the middle of an open tiled area would likely create a noticeable difference between the cleaned and uncleaned sections. He recommended extending the cleaning to a natural stopping point, such as a doorway, to prevent exactly what you've described. However, we respect our clients' decisions regarding their budget and requested services, so Brian proceeded as you instructed. Brian also conducted a complete post-service inspection with you. According to his account, you both closely examined the cleaned tile, including the edges near the grout lines you mentioned were difficult to clean. No concerns were raised during that inspection, and Brian left believing you were pleased with the results. You even kindly provided him with a tip, which he appreciated. Additionally, Brian cleaned two closets at no charge. When you pointed out another spot on an area rug that wasn't included in the original cleaning request, he offered to bring his equipment back inside to address it for FREE. These are examples of the extraordinary care we encourage our technicians to provide. Our goal is never to "nickel and dime" our clients. When requested services fall below our minimum service order, we encourage technicians to offer additional cleaning opportunities so clients receive maximum value for their investment. We understand that seeing such a dramatic difference between cleaned and uncleaned tile can be frustrating. However, that difference also demonstrates the effectiveness of our cleaning process. Although Brian explained this possibility beforehand and completed the work according to your requested scope, we'd still like to help. We're happy to return and clean the remaining tiled area while waiving our normal minimum service order requirement. You would only pay the agreed-upon cost of the additional cleaning. Dianne, we take tremendous pride in our work and believe Brian went above and beyond to communicate clearly, respect your decisions, and provide exceptional value. We're sorry you were ultimately disappointed and hope you'll allow us to help you achieve the finished result you're looking for. Thank you again for your business and feedback. - Jimmy Director of Operations

We have a rental in The Villsges, Fla., built 2004. Ceramic tile in kitchen, halls and baths and recent 3 year old commercial berber carpeting in 3 BR and LR . The tile grout has never been formally cleaned in the 14 years we’ve owned it and prior carpet cleaning companies noted it is nearly impossible to get grout cleaned well and most did not even offer that service. It was the reviews and pics on website from Dan Dan the Carpet man that intrigued me, so we had them do it all and we were soooo impressed. The tile/grout looks brand new as does the carpet. I didn’t snap carpet pics but here’s a before after tile /grout. We also had 2 upholstered recliner chairs cleaned and they look and smell great . We will ABSOLUTELY will use Dan Dan again .

Now that's the kind of transformation we love to hear about! After 14+ years without a professional tile and grout cleaning, I can only imagine how satisfying it must have been to see those floors looking brand new again! Tile and grout cleaning is one of our specialties, and while some companies shy away from it, we absolutely LOVE the challenge. It's amazing what the right equipment, cleaning solutions, and a little know-how can accomplish! We're equally thrilled to hear that your carpets and upholstered recliners turned out beautifully. As we like to say, if you can walk on it, sit on it, or sleep on it, chances are we can clean it! Thank you for trusting us with your rental property in The Villages, Lynn. We truly appreciate your enthusiastic recommendation and look forward to making everything look beautiful again next time! - Jimmy Director of Operations
