Bill was supposed to arrive at 10 am. At 10:30 am, he still hadn't showed, so I called. He said he was having problems with his truck and would be there soon. Fair enough, things happen.
Bill cleaned our carpets and our two tan microfiber sofas, which are only six months old and were in great shape -- just dingy on the cushions thanks to a 3-year-old and two cats.
When the sofas dried, there were very visible streaks all over them where Bill had pushed the vacuum back and forth, where I guess the pile had been crushed down in different directions. I called Bill and he said we should go over them with a damp towel to even out the pile, and if that didn't work he would come over with a special brush that would get the light/dark streaks out.
So we spent half an hour going over the sofas with a wet towel, and when they dried they still looked bad. So I called Bill, and he promised to be over that Wednesday between 10 and 12.
Well, on Wednesday at 3 pm he still hadn't arrived, so I called again. Bill said that his scheduling system had broken so he didn't know when his appointments were. He promised to call back within the week. That was around a month ago.
Our brand new sofas are now damaged. Next time I'll go with a different service, and I recommend you do, too.
