Mr. Downey and his son, Kevin, were outstanding to work with! Not only did I receive a call after booking the service to ensure I was prepared for their visit, they walked through each room upon arrival and completion to let me know what they would and did do in each room. I even have a call scheduled tomorrow to…

I would give this business 10 stars if I could because they are that excellent. I got my kitchen tile and grout cleaned and they made it look like a brand new floor and also had my carpet cleaned. Feels so much cleaner. Very friendly and professional and priced perfect.

Downey service was outstanding! Carpet on stairs and landing were cleaned with excellent results. Puppy had used the landing to urinate a few times until he was better trained, which left an odor. The cleaning eliminated the problem. Arrived at scheduled time, was very pleasant and professional.

I have used Downey Carpet Care for years and just made another appt. John and his team are friendly, courteous and above all they do a great job. I have cats and dogs in the house and believe me it can be a challenge. The challenge is always met. In Licking County he is the one to go to!

John and his son cleaned my sectional, two chairs and an area rug. The furniture and rug had gone through construction and two animals. When they were done it looked awesome. They were professional and cared. I would highly recommend them.
