  Date of air duct cleaning service: Friday, 1/17/2025 Charged amount: $2,047.20 Air duct cleaning was performed less than satisfactory! Half the job was not done properly (negative pressure was not used on 2 of 4 units, there was damage to the lining of 3 supply ducts, several vents were not even cleaned, debris was left behind around the vents and workers left mud throughout the house. I have personally reached out to the company 6 times, left 5 voicemails and no one has returned my voicemail. The call center has detailed reports of every time I have called. I have been promised a call back from the ******* location air duct manger and have never heard anything back.

  Complaint: 22856785
  
  I am rejecting this response because: 
  There has been no good faith effort to reach out by Stanley Steemer. As of today, Ive not spoken to anyone who has the authority to help me resolve the issue. Ive made *********************************** supervisor and most of those attempts have been met with no answer, an unkept promise that a manager will reach out, and/or a promise to escalate to a manger which has led nowhere. 
  

  The one time I did speak with a supervisor I was asked to send pictures of the damage to my property via email and was told he would respond with his pictures in return. I sent the pictures, received no response and when I texted to follow up several times, it was ignored. When the supervisor did respond via text it was not to resolve the issue but rather, to tell me he was traveling. I still have not received a response via email or text message.

  To Whom It May Concern:
  
  We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the customer's concerns regarding the air duct cleaning service performed on January 17, 2025.
  
  A local manager conducted a thorough inspection of the customer's system following the complaint and confirmed that it had been properly cleaned. During this review, it was determined that a miscommunication had occurred between the estimator and the customer regarding the ********************** method for the upper system. Due to accessibility challenges, a different approach was required, which may not have been clearly conveyed at the time of service.
  
  Additionally, some of the concerns raised in the complaint could not be verified, as the customer had already addressed them prior to our follow-up inspection. Despite this, and in the interest of customer satisfaction, our manager offered a 50% refund as a goodwill gesture. The customer declined this offer and instead requested a full refund. Given the service provided, we believe the 50% refund was a fair resolution, and we do not find a full refund to be warranted at this time.
  
  Please let us know if you require any further information. We appreciate your time and consideration.

  More info

  On 1/20/25 Stanley steemer came to an apartment I had rented to clean the carpet. We were specifically told a tech needed a portable unit because it was on the 3rd floor, thats why the tech on 1/17 was unable to do the service. Monday 1/20 the new crew showed up and complained about having to carry the portable unit and decided to use a different machine without notifying me. The truck mounted machine was stretched over 200ft which would not allow the carpets to be cleaned correctly. The crew that showed up used deceitful language to try and force me to spend an extra $100 on a service I did not want. They used terms like you have to and the apartment wont let us do it this way. The cleaning itself did not clean any area of the rug effectively. There was still discoloration and pet fur in the rug. I was charged by my apartment an additional $150 to steam clean the rug. Stanley steemer did not resolve this with me and I need help resolving this. I want the $150 refunded to me and to retrain employees on acceptable sales tactics.i have attached the bill from Stanley and the credit from my apartment building for the reclean.

  More info

  On September 10, 2024, in response to my telephone request tor Stanley Steemer to steam clean some of my Italian porcelain flooring, workers , talked me into including grout staining and sealing. After they left around 3pm,we stayed off the floors for 6 hours, as they instructed. My husband and I were distressed to see that the floors all had a sticky haze over them which left footprints everywhere we walked and which caked onto the bottom of our shoes. I then called the Stanley Steemer office. September 11, the same two crew members returned and took a spray bottle and sprayed each area and then mopped with a cloth. After the floors were dry enough, I examined them and they were still covered with gray, sticky residue. I spent several hours scrubbing. When dry, the floors were still covered with the gray residue. After calling and having them return for more "cleaning" the next day, the floors were still covered with sticky gray residue. I spent an entire weekend on my hands and knees, scrubbing and rinsing until I removed enough of the residue for the electric steam cleaning buffer could do a better job. I called the SS Riverview office again and told them I want my money back ($2,065.30). I was told to call corporate which I did. They said they could not confer with me as long as I had my complaint pending with **** ** *******, where it was charged. On January 2, 2025, *** sent a letter saying they were unable to approve the claim, because I did not send a second opinion letter from a qualified merchant to confirm that the service was performed incorrectly. As I explained to the bank, I could not supply that information because I had long-sense removed all of the evidence, by my intense scrubbing and by purchasing a steam cleaner to complete the job. (Incidentally, SS did not steam the floors at all, and the substance they sprayed to "rinse" them with was labeled "Spot Remover for Carpet and Upholstery". See photo.

  To Whom It May concern,
  
  We acknowledge receipt of the above-referenced consumer complaint and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
  We take customer satisfaction seriously and have made multiple efforts to address this matter. As a goodwill gesture, we provided two complimentary cleanings in addition to our initial service. The customer also filed a credit card dispute, asserting that we did not remove stains. After reviewing the case, the financial institution determined that the customer was not entitled to a refund.
  
  Upon inspection, we identified that the issue with the floor was due to residue from a cleaning product previously used by the homeowner. Despite this, we have cleaned the floor three times in an effort to assist in removing the residue.
  Given these efforts and the findings of the financial institution, we do not believe a refund is warranted at this time.
  
  Please let us know if you require any further information. We appreciate your time and consideration.

  The merchant's response was inexplicable.  There was NOT a grey film covering the porcelain floor before I called for service.  The floor was bothering me because drops of water would leave soiled spots.  I simply wanted the floors steam-cleaned to remove any soil that would have accumulated over time--a normal periodic professional cleaning for tile floors.  They did not steam clean.  They spent most of their time re-grouting the floor(which it really did not need, but I let them talk me into it).  The "cleaner" they hand-sprayed onto the floors after re-grouting was a spot remover for carpet and apholstry. I have a photo showing that what they used was clear in color and the Stanley Steemer tile cleaner was yellow.  

  When they responded that they cleaned the floors 3 times,  they are referencing the 2 times that they came back at my demand to remove the film they had created on the floors.  Each time, they just sprayed the liquid from a bottle and went over it with a mop, just like they did the first time.  They spent a few minutes each time and improved nothing. They probably made it even worse. We still could not walk on the floors without getting a build-up of grey sticky substance on our shoes.

  After three days of scrubbing on my hands and knees (which is not easy for an octogenarian) and then steaming with a steam cleaner, the floors finally look clean.  The entire experience was frustrating, time-consuming and a total waste of time and money.

  Long after I had cleaned and removed all evidence of the mess that they had made, the bank requested that I hire a contractor with the same qualifications to come to the house and confirm my evidence of the complaint.  We could not have left the floors as Stanley Steemer left them and lived normally in our house.  Therefore, there was no evidence remaining weeks later when the bank made its request.  Consequently, they denied my claim.

  To Whom It May Concern,
  

  We hereby acknowledge receipt of the aforementioned consumer complaint and express our gratitude for the opportunity to provide a formal response.
  We believe that we have given this matter the utmost consideration and have acted in good faith to resolve the issue at hand. We place great emphasis on customer satisfaction and have made several concerted efforts to address this concern. As a gesture of goodwill, we provided two complimentary cleanings in addition to our initial service.
  

  The customer subsequently filed a credit card dispute, claiming that stains were not removed. After a thorough review of the case, the financial institution concluded that the customer was not entitled to a refund.
  Upon inspection, it was determined that the issue with the floor was attributable to residue from a cleaning product previously used by the homeowner. This particular cleaning product has received multiple reviews indicating that it causes residue on customers' floors. Despite this, we cleaned the floor three times to aid in the removal of the residue.
  

  In light of these efforts and the conclusions reached by the financial institution, we firmly maintain that a refund is not justified at this time.
  

  Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your time and consideration.
  

  Sincerely,

  I would like to add that I had never cleaned my tiles with any substance that was NOT  designed for porcelain tile.  When  the Stanley Steemer worker, whose name I believe is ******, asked me what I had cleaned the floors with, I showed him my ****** ***** *** **** ******* which is recommended "for sealed sealed stone, including marble and granite, ceramic and porcelain tile, grout and any other non-porous hard surface flooring."  ****** immediately claimed that I had used the wrong cleaner, simply because the entire bottle was supposed to clean only 600-700 sq. ft., and I had only used small percentage of the bottle. There was no way that my floors had a build-up from a substance that was designed for them!  Another worker who came out on one of the 2 follow-up visits claimed that the floors looked like they did because they were "outdoor floors", an absurd claim about the expensive Italian porcelain tile. Those people were simply searching for excuses.

  My husband and i were purchasing a home at *** ********** *** ******* ** *****. A week before we moved in, we had STANLEY STEEMER out to clean, deodorize, and protect the carpets in 4 rooms and a hallway. They came out on 12/4/2024 and I paid $565.22 for the service. The home was completely empty as nobody was living there at the time. When the crew left they didn’t make sure the storm door was closed and the wind took it and it slammed into my exterior light and it broke. I went to the house the very next morning and found it like that. There were no other people at the home besides them. I called and talked to 3 different people, and provided the pictures I took, the last one being the manager. He told me I can’t prove they did it and he refused to help me, even after I sent pictures of the door. Eventually he told me he had a meeting to attend and he would call me back. He never did. He refused to put a written complaint in for me about this and told me he was the highest personnel that I could talk to and pretty much that he wasn’t willing to do anything for me.

  Stanley Steemer Hampton Virginia Subject: Request for Full Refund Due to Poor Service and Inconvenience I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the overall service experience I recently received and to formally request a full refund. While the final technician successfully resolved the issues with my sofa, the process to get to this resolution was frustrating, time-consuming, and unacceptable for a company of your reputation. After the initial cleaning on 12/10, my sofa was left in worse condition than before, with visible streaks across the seating area, backrest, and rear. When I raised this concern, the technician claimed it was due to the sofa being wet and that it would improve after drying. However, once the sofa dried, the streaks remained. I immediately contacted your office, and a second technician was dispatched. He informed me that the first technician had cleaned the sofa incorrectly by failing to use the proper cleaning agent to prevent browning. Additionally, he lacked the necessary tools to resolve the issue. Despite being promised a follow-up appointment between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM the following day, this commitment was not honored, and I was instead scheduled for a 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM window, requiring me to wait yet again. While I appreciate that the final technician was able to remove the streaks and restore the sofa to an acceptable condition, the inconvenience, poor communication, and repeated delays caused unnecessary stress and wasted my valuable time. This experience does not align with the level of professionalism I expected from Stanley Steemer. Given the circumstances, I am requesting a full refund for the service due to: 1. The initial poor service that left my sofa in worse condition. 2. The inconvenience of waiting multiple times for technicians to rectify the issue. 3. The failure to honor scheduling commitments. I trust you will consider this matter seriously and provide a prompt resolution.

  Company serviced our property and took payment for quoted fee of $459.46. Then a branch manager called 2-3 weeks later and said there was a balance for approx $150 more than the paid invoice followed by a text message on Dec 11 saying there is a balance for which I replied and get a call from a different manager also saying we owe more than our paid and quoted invoice.

  More info

  Transaction date 12/3. Was quoted $750 for floor cleaning based on the size of my home provided on the phone. Sealing of grout was quoted as an additional $550. When the service technicians arrived they said the floor cleaning would not work because there was drywall dust on the floors and in order to clean they would have to acid wash the floors and the cost was $2120. The technician said the water jet did not clean drywall and the regular cleaning would not work. I was moving in on the day of service after Hurricane ****** flooded my house and needed the floors professionally cleaned as there was sewage/flooding. At no time during my conversation with the presales person was I informed that pricing was dependent upon anything but size of rooms, except that marble flooring would have to be reviewed an quoted on site. I provided exact measurements of every room and was provided the quote. I spoke with a national representative after filing a complaint with Stanley Steemer first and her response was that they didn't force me to accept the job when they arrived and i should have declined. She had no issue with the fact that their price was triple what was quoted via phone, or the fact that they did not disclose anything related to possible increases. She said "the increase was base on the evaluation of scope of work when the technician arrived." 1 - I do not believe Stanley Steemer ever had any intention of honoring the pricing provided on the phone.2 - I do not believe Stanley Steemer had to do anything different for the $2120 than they did for the $750.3 - If any of the price increase was truly based on scope, which I do not believe, they should have disclosed on the phone before I made a decision to schedule. Ultimately, the cleaners were in my house for 4 hours at a charge of approximately $550 per hour for professional cleaning. I had no choice but to accept the ****** charge as I was moving in the same day as soon as the work was complete.

  For complaint ID ******** could I please have a little bit more time on this one?
  
   
  
  This job was affected by the Hurricanes that came through earlier in the year . So some more involved services were required to properly take care of this customer's flooring, and I am awaiting to get some additional information from the local office to determine if the appropriate pricing was used. So far it does look like they explained all of this and the pricing to the customer and that he approved it before they began the work but I'm just double checking to make sure before I give a response on this.
  
   
  
  Thank you so much and if I don't talk to you before I hope that you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

  On 05/16/2024 Stanley Steemer came out to clean my air ducts. After they left my AC came on and there was a very loud noise coming from the blower motor. I called Stanley Steemer and they sent out a technician who didnt know anything about HVAC so he told me to call the **** company they use. They couldnt get here for two weeks so I called my HVAC guy. The blower wheel needed replaced. I have called Stanley Steemer multiple times and they tell me its not their fault. It worked when they got here and didnt work when they left. How can they say its not their fault!! I also called to talk to the president of the company and he never returned my call. They refuse to reimburse me for the cost to replace the blower wheel, which was $450.

  Dear ***** *******,
  Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. At Stanley Steemer, we take all customer feedback seriously and strive to provide the best possible service. We apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.
  Our air duct cleaning process strictly adheres to industry best practices and standards. When servicing air ducts, we follow NADCA standards to clean and remove debris from the duct system. We do not remove or alter the components associated with the air handling unit. Rather, we utilize several different methods to clean the components in place, if accessible.   This ensures that our cleaning process remains non-invasive and minimizes the risk of impacting HVAC system components.
  In this instance, while we understand your frustration with the timing of the blower motor issue, it is important to note that blower motor and wheel failures are typically the result of long-term wear and tear, accumulation of dust or debris, or other age-related factors. According to HVAC industry guidelines, blower motors and their components are considered mechanical devices subject to degradation over time. Common causes of failure include:
  Extended Service Life: ************* typically have a lifespan of 1015 years, depending on use and maintenance. Issues are more likely to arise as the system ages.
  Accumulated Dust or Debris: Dust or debris buildup over time can cause imbalance or strain on the blower wheel, leading to noise or failure.
  General Wear and Tear: Bearings, belts, or other internal components may wear down after years of operation, resulting in motor issues.
  We sent a technician to assess the situation promptly after you reported the noise. However, as this issue pertains to your HVAC system's mechanical components and not the air duct cleaning process, we stand by our assessment that the failure was unrelated to our service.
  We regret that you experienced a breakdown in your HVAC system shortly after our visit but based on the nature of our service and the condition of the blower motor, we cannot assume responsibility for this repair. We encourage you to work with your trusted HVAC professional to ensure your system is properly maintained to prevent future issues.
  If you have further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at **************. We are happy to discuss this matter further.
  Sincerely,
  **** ******

  Our home was only one and a half years old when you cleaned our ducts so wear and tear and accumulation of dust is a poor excuse. If your technicians dont get into the area that houses the blower wheel/blower motor as you say, then they bumped the outside of the unit with either their body or the hose.

  More info

  I am reaching out about my first experience getting a rug cleaned by this company. When I booked the appointment, I asked if they can take the rug outside in their car and clean it, but when the individual came to clean, he initially told us he cant take it out, and that the carpet can't get cleaned. But then after going back and forth, he decided to clean it, but rather than taking it out, he did it indoors. Water was all over the hardwood floor we have, and we are hoping that it does not cause any damage in the near future. Overall, this was my first time using your company and it was a horrible experience. I would like to get this refunded given that the service was subpar.
