Provider showed up promptly. I had already moved all of the furniture myself (was told later that service was not provided). Once he looks at the carpet (Berber), I was told that it would be a higher cost to clean the carpet. Really? Why wasn't this told to me by the person making the appointment when I called? Then, I was told that only water ... yes, only WATER would be used to 'clean' the carpet and that if I wanted soap to be used, it would be a higher price.
Total bait and switch. Do not use. Do as I did (after they left), go to Walmart and use the money to buy a Hoover home carpet cleaning machine (about the same price) as what this company will charge you. I did and re-cleaned the same areas that this company cleaned. Lots of dirt came up that was left behind by these so-called 'professionals.'
The price caught me off guard since I had expected a little over $65, but ended up paying closer to $400.
Also, because it the carpets were wet, everything looked to be consistent and clean. But once it dried, many of the spots in the carpet were still there, esp. the ones in the family room rug.
Also, when I had had my carpets professionally cleaned before, they would always steam clean the closet carpet as well. This time, Clean 4 Clean did not do that.
I had used them 2 other times before and had very positive experiences, which is why I called them again. If I were rating out of 5 stars, I'd probably have given the most recent experience a 3/3.5 stars but the prior 2 experiences a 4/4.5 star. I will probably give them another chance before looking elsewhere.
When I made the appointment, the gentleman on the phone was rather short with me, and kept asking me about the house vents. I agreed to let them look at the system, but I was really only concerned about the dryer at this time. When the technician Marcus arrived, he was confused about the work that was to be done (not sure how well these people communicate with each other). However, after we discussed the issues, he promptly got to work on the dryer vent. It was SO disgusting that I have no idea how on earth there was no fire here before, the pile of lint that he pulled out was astonishing! The technician also performed the air duct cleaning, but I rejected the option to sanitize the system, that seemed like a $285 overkill.
Overall, I was impressed with the technician, but not so much with the home office experience.
The price quoted on the phone was different than the price quoted once the technician arrived at our house. They quoted us an additional 25$ beyond the normal cleaning fee to remove the birds nest. The technician who came to do the work told us it was an additional 50$ instead.
After the technician cleaned all the vents the bathroom was filled with nesting material, insulation, and debris. There was a pile of
dryer vent waste sitting in our driveway. He informed my girlfriend that she was responsible for cleaning us the mess after the duct cleaning.
She then paid the fee (with the additional charges) and the technician left.
Once I realized this we called the company back. They were very rude in the response to the difference in the price and basically told us we shouldn't have had the contractor do the work if we didn't agree with him. While I totally understand that yes, we did have the work performed, my point was that it reflects a bad business practice to quote one price on the phone then raise the price days later once the scheduled work is to be performed.
They then proceeded to conference in the technician and ask him about the cleaning. He told the manager on the phone that my girlfriend "Offered" to do the cleaning which was patently false.
The only reason I upgraded the score to a D was the fact that the technician did come back out and clean the bathroom; but it took quite a bit of complaining on our end to make it happen. Once he did arrive he complained that he didn't charge us for some cleaning product that he used, I believe it was anti-microbial spray, and that we should have been grateful.
When I made the appointment, I asked about stain removal. The answer: "Our technicians will do their best." The customer service rep failed to mention that stain removal is NOT INCLUDED in the price !
When the men arrived and I showed them the rooms, they informed me that the carpets needed deep cleaning which costs $49.95 for each room, adding $250 to the price. I was not prepared to spend that much. I should have sent them away, but I had the rooms ready and had the basic cleaning done anyway.
The cleaning process used wasn't hot water extraction which generally goes by "steam cleaning" as I had expected.
Some areas were soaked (hardwood to carpet threshold) and I had to go around patting towels on the carpet to absorb excess water. Other areas remained dry. Soapy water was sprayed into vents.
When they left, the men poured the leftover soapy water from their machine into the gutter. When I told them, they are polluting ground water, rivers and lakes by disposing of the soapy water there and it should be poured in the toilet or sink, they didn't seem to know. Not environmentally-friendly.
In summary, I will never use this company again. - I had used another Angie's List company before who did both levels for $200 and did a great job.
I call them on Monday and Wednesday we had an appointment .
My HVAC system had not been cleaned in a several years and technician left it

I am so happy to have the system cleaned
Air in the house become much fresher .
I feel huge difference of the air Quality in the house .
Very recommend this company for my friends
Had the smell of something dead in the area near family room return ducts but not sure of source.
We have a crawl space. Some months ago there was a skink (small lizzard) loose in the family room and we eventually lost track of it. Some weeks ago we began to smell the odor. Since the work, no odor, but also no skink remains found. While looking at the furnace it was pointed out that our UV lights were in the wrong place in the system. I will move them. Black mold was discovered in the humidifier chamber and removed.The issue I have is with their Duct service. I was in a rush to get this service done, so I do take fault in not asking too many questions. Which now, I realize was a mistake. I was hit with a bunch of extra charges for this service (extra return, mold cleaning) that I probably didn't need.
Recently, I had a new heat pump and furnace installed in my home. The installer told me that my ducts and return (I actually only have one) were filthy and that I should really look into having them cleaned. I told him that was funny since I just paid to have them done about 3 months prior. He actually showed me what he meant and realized that i had just been burned.
I called Clean 4 Clean about the issue and basically was told that since a significant amount of time has passed, it could have been a variety of issues that could have led to the dirt in the ducts. Oh, and I had to pay to have another Clean4Clean person come out to "inspect" the duct work in question.
I decided it was just too much of a hassle to fight this issue and will just never use or recommend this company again.
If you do decide to use them, know your HVAC system in your home and how it works...and ask lots of questions.
I used a LivingSocial voucher that was meant to provide $120 of service for $60. It included all air vents, one return and one main duct. My home had multiple returns and main ducts (so they said), and the additional cost to service my system was far more than the voucher. Oddly enough, the value of the voucher was listed as only $60 -- so pricing is at best fluid.
Even worse, when they changed the air filter on my furnace, they ripped out a piece of insulation / air seal that wasn't meant to be removed. In fact, they ripped a chunk of that insulation, making it unusable. They left that insulation and the dirty air filter in the middle of the floor.
I let them know about the problem and made an appointment for them to come by to fix what they had broken for a Monday morning between 8 and 10. At about 8:30, they called to say they had to cancel. We rescheduled for Friday between 8 and 10. They failed to show at all, and didn't call to let me know they couldn't make it.
I hope to at least get what they broke fixed, but no progress so far.
