    July 20,2022 $480.00 Cleaning of 2 wool rugs 1-8x10 & 1-5x8 There is a very specific process for cleaning wool rugs. The technician assured me they know how to clean wool rugs. Someone did not take the proper care to clean ours the way it was suppose to be cleaned and Stanley Steemer returned our rugs to us with mold all on the back, backing all green and the edging completely falling off. They took them back and tried again & delivered them on 8-18-2022. You can still see all the black shading on the back and the glue coming through the edges. This company was negligent with our beautiful wool rugs which has been destroyed and is not willing to make this right. I have the receipt for the rugs $1597.88 along with pictures of the mold and backing falling off along with dates and texts messages of trying to nicely resolve this. After my last conversation with them on 8-18-2022 I was told our rugs was sent to a subcontractor to be cleaned which was not disclosed to me at the time I agreed and have a signed contract with ******* Steemer for the cleaning of our rugs. Now no one wants to accept responsibility for these 2 beautiful wool rugs that has be destroyed. My *********** feel Stanley Steemer needs to take responsibility for the negligence that was done to our rugs & compensate us for our rugs because they have to be replaced. Invoice order ##********-65 I will submitting their invoice, receipt for what we purchased the rugs for, along with photos of both times they delivered them to us.Thank you,***********************

    April 5, 2023 Our serviceman was more than awful. We were scheduled for an estimate that day. Upon arrival, the serviceman said another customer had just cancelled, and being in the area, he could service us.The serviceman was here for 2 hours, charging us for 4 hours. I called the field supervisor, asking that he come and inspect the sub-standard job we received. Upon arrival, the supervisor saw the finished work, and was concerned. We were charged $1,681 for 4 hours of time. The serviceman reported being in my home for 4 hours. I said no way. My husband viewed our Ring Camera with the supervisor. Both the supervisor and my husband came up with 2 hours. A large part of the technician's time here was spent running up and down the stairs playing with his phone. The supervisor was curious as to what he actually cleaned. The supervisor has worked for Stanley Steemer for 14 years. Our service man has worked for the company for 5 years My cleaning lady was here three days afterward. I asked her if the floor seemed cleaner. She replied that she changed the bucket 3 times. She said "I could not tell that it had been cleaned. The supervisor offered to send another technician to complete the job, or I could request a refund. He had a Stanley representative call me. The rep was polite, and offered me a refund of $600. It was not the amount that I felt I deserved. I spoke with another Stanley representative. I stated that I will be reporting this matter to the BBB. She preferred if I did not do that, and stated we did refund some of my payment via a credit of $600. I replied that amount leaves me paying $1,081 for literally no cleaning, but a lot of aggravation!All I can say is run as fast as you can, from these charlatans. Such matters need to be reported to the Better Business Bureau BBB when we are victimized by such con-artists.
