This is the second time that we've used Carr's services. We were so pleased the first time that there was no question that we would use them again when needed. That time came recently and the good folks at Carr's came through with flying colors again. They sent out two men to pick-up the rugs and take them to their plant for cleaning. Two very nice young men delivered the bright, clean rugs today and graciously moved furniture to put them back in place. They even combed out the fringe so the rugs would look their best when my wife got home.
My wife and I are "raving fans" of this company. If you're reading this review in a quest to decide whether to engage them to clean your rugs, I have one word for you--YES!!!
They cleaned the rug as best they could, but the colors were destabilized by all the dog and cat urine that was in it. (The pet/house sitter we had hired had abandoned our pets and left them inside the house, unattended, with no means of going outside to use the yard - for a full seven days. They chose the rug in our formal dining room as their new restroom, since it was the least-used room in the house.)
When the rug was delivered back to the house, we put it in a storage area, since we already had another rug in its place. When I came across the rug a few days ago, I decided to take a look at it to determine whether I wanted to put it back in the dining room. I was dismayed to see how badly the colors had bled and faded.
At this point, it had been well over a year since Carr's had cleaned the rug. I emailed one of their employees, Marsha Browning, to see whether or not there was anything that could be done to try restoring the rug - I didn't hold out much hope for it.
Instead of hearing back from Marsha, I received a note from Mr.Bob Carr, who promised to call me about the matter the following day. The next day, Mr. Carr called as promised; he had looked into the matter, and knew the back-story of what had happened with our rug. We talked for a few minutes, and he explained the cleaning process and the solvents that were used. He explained how the urine had destabilized the colors, and how additional cleaning would continue fading all the colors to lighter and lighter hues. Given that the rug was red to begin with, I didn't think a fade to a pinker shade would work for us, so I declined, and he countered ... by stating that the full price would be refunded.
I was astonished. I had not expected his willingness to do anything, much less to issue a full refund for work that had been done well over a year ago. Mr. Carr was polite, honest, and friendly - not something you get very often these days!
Keeping that in mind, if you have a badly soiled rug to be cleaned, ask questions about the process and potential outcomes for the rug. The high grade I've given Carr's is based entirely on Mr. Bob Carr's pleasant and informative discussion with me, his demeanor, and his professionalism, and does not reflect the outcome of the rug itself.
As for the rug - they did the best they could. With two cats and two dogs using it for a toilet for seven days, it would have been unreasonable to expect it to have come out entirely unscathed (although I had hoped it might).
I would recommend Carr's Carpet Cleaning to anyone who needed such work done.
