      We hired Stanley Steemer to come out to our home and clean some furniture for us. When they left and were completed with their service our furniture was dirtier and less clean than before they got there. We mentioned this issue to their branch manager and he requested he come out and take a look. He came out after 3 days from when this happened to look at the job his employees did and said that his techs rushed the job and didnt do a good job and thats why we still had dirty furniture. He requested we allow them to send another tech to try and clean the furniture again. A week later the other tech comes out and before he starts cleaning hes trying to upsell us on items we never even requested. We just wanted our furniture cleaned. When we turned his upselling offers down because we have already paid them $575 to have this service completed which is still not done. He then decides he isnt going to do it and removed all of his equipment out of our house angrily and says we can hire someone else to do it and he isnt going to do it. So now we have damaged walls from him pulling his hoses through our stairwell forcefully without care and my wife feeling threatened by the employee at this time was in tears. So now we tell Stanley steemer customer ********************** division that we want a full refund because we have to hire someone else to come out and do the job they were originally hired to do but never did. They refused to offer us anything for compensation for our loss of time, wages, damaged property and no service was completed but we are still out of pocket $575. How is it acceptable to keep a customers money after not completing a ********************** they were hired to do. We will do whatever is necessary to get our money back for this unbelievable experience with Stanley steemer.

      On August 1, I called Stanley Steemer to make an appointment to have rugs cleaned. During that phone call, I also mentioned that I wanted an estimate to have the air ducts cleaned. On August 2, 2 employees from Stanley Steemer came to my house: one for the rugs ($311.85), the other one for the estimate. I accepted the estimate of $480 and scheduled the appointment for August 10. I bought a new vacuum cleaner after August 2. I was really pleased on August 10 in the morning when I vacuumed the rugs because the canister stayed clean. Clearly, the $311.85 I paid was money well spent. Around 4 p.m. on August 10, 2 Stanley Steemer employees came to clean the air ducts. Immediately, when I saw how dirty the huge hoses they brought into the house were, I grew concerned about the rugs. They told me it would be O.K. There was clearly dust incrusted in the ridges of the hoses, but after they reassured me, I figured the dirt was actually inside the hoses. At the end of the visit, one employee told me he agreed it would have been better to wait to have the rugs cleaned and he said he would mention it up the chain so that clients be advised accordingly. Indeed! When I vacuumed the rugs again after they left, I collected a lot of dust in the canister – I even had to wash it! Upstairs, my dining room table was gray with dust. The slats on the Venetian blinds were dirty too, as were the kitchen counters. Let me be clear: I am not complaining about the dust that was created. It is probably part of the job. Had I made the appointment online for my rugs, I would have only myself to blame for being distraught after my pet’s death, whom I had to put to sleep on July 29. But I made the appointment on the phone – and the Stanley Steemer rep should have known better and advised me accordingly.

      I am satisfied with the response from Stanley Steemer. I received a $150 credit on my credit card along with a $100 gift certificate. While I do not plan on using it, it was a nice gesture. You can close this complaint.

      Thank you for acting as a link between the company and me.

      This has not been resolved to my satisfaction.  The problem is that the insurance adjuster report clearly shows damage throughout the house caused by the technicians doing inferior work.

      And their refusal to accept responsibility and blame the homeowner.  They are being completely dishonest about this.

      The luxury ranch townhome has continuous hardwood floors throughout, except for the utility room and bathrooms.  The technician is not telling the truth about me.  I absolutely told them beforehand about issues with the peeling and showed them exactly where it was happening.  They never mentioned that it was possible that the floors would have to be refinished it their maintenance didnt work.  

      Who in their right mind would do that to their own home?  This is absolutely unacceptable that they applied this product first and foremost.  But then to blame it on the victim goes beyond the pale.

      We got cleaning done on December 23rd, 2023. I had two large area rugs, two small rugs, and my stairs landing cleaned. One of the large area rugs in the living room was not clean after the initial wash, and the service person said he would give it a second go round and add deodorizer while cleaning. Afterwards, he told me not to place my furniture on the rugs for a day or two, until dried so that the feet of the furniture would not leave an indent on my rug, which I adhered to.In June 2024, we wanted to get another cleaning done, and when we lifted our rug, we noticed a rust-colored stain on our wood floor that was only directly under the rug that had received additional cleaning. I called to complain about the issue and a rep was sent to my home to assess the issue. The rep, named *******, was understanding when he saw the damage and assured us that the issue would be taken care of, and I would get a follow up call. Approximately 45 minutes after he left my home, he called to say that after discussing issue with his managers, and after research, it was determined that the stain on the wood floor was caused by glue from the rugs, and Stanley Steemer would not be responsible for the damage. We contacted the manufacturer of the rug Nourison, and they stated that there was no glue in the rug and sent an email stating so. In addition, similar rug in the dinning area was made by the same manufacturer and was cleaned once and had no stain. I was surprised to learn that our report was closed without resolution or even the courtesy to let us know that it was closed. We reached out to Stanley Steemer numerous times but got no response. I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received thus far in trying to address this issue. The damage caused by Stanley Steemer to my wood flooring is approximately $23,575.00. I am left with no other option but to pursue a legal path towards resolving this issue. Thank you.

      I am 9 months pregnant with my first **** and requested an air duct cleaning. Upon completion of the air duct cleaning the technician came up to my husband and said they had touched the wall in the newly built nursery with oily hands and tried to clean it but had made a bigger mess. Once they left i noticed that they had touched more parts of the house with the oily hands including my white couch, every corner of my house was damaged with red marks from the tubes they had used and there was an oil stain on my drive way from their truck. on top of all this damage they sent over the pictures of the duct cleaning and the before and after looked no different, mind you this is a service I paid 800$ for. After talking to the manager ***** he informed me that all he could do is give me a 300$ gift card and come reclean the air ducts, which is not suitable because first because I am about to give birth and second I do not want these people in my house destroying more things, so I asked for a full refund of the service. ***** said I would have to talk to someone above. This is where I spoke to the rudest person I have ever encounter in costumer service, her name is ******* . She was instantly rude not hearing what I had to say, mind you was not sympathetic she was talking to a pregnant woman that is giving birth in a week. She kept saying I denied the service for them to come back and reclean the vent.. which yea Im gonna deny the service when last time they came and destroyed my house and she would not give us a refund. They did sent ***** who was the manger out to come clean the wall stains with some spray walls still look stained and need a coat of painting which he agreed about and also agreed that the service was not done correctly and the walls definitely needed painting. 2 days after ***** left ******* called and continued to tell me there is nothing she can do bc I denied their re-service for the ducts and she can give me 150$ gift card to clean the couches

      We had Stanley Steemer come out June 3rd to clean 3 chairs, a sofa and ottoman and the tile in our entry. An excessive amount of water was used during the upholstery cleaning. This water pooled onto our bamboo flooring which has been installed less than a year. The puddles were left on the floor while the tech cleaned the tile and packed up his tools. My husband came into the room horrified at all the water and immediately started drying it, soaking several towels while the tech said he had planned to clean it after loading his truck. As most know, bamboo cannot tolerate prolonged contact with water. Our floors were extensively damaged. We called Stanley Steemer and a manager was sent out the next day to take photos and survey the damage. We were then contacted by ****, Im assuming from a corporate office because the number is not local. She did not seem to be aware that we had already had a manager come to assess the damage and said she would send someone when we returned from our vacation June 12th. The week after we returned another manager was sent out, taking moisture readings and more photos. We then received an email June 24th from **** telling us the claim has been submitted to Corvel, they should be contacting us in a few business days and Stanley Steemer would no longer be the primary contact on this matter. It is now July 10th, 11 business days, and we have yet to hear from ******. We reached out to **** again as we have not been provided a claim number or any means of contact for Corvel, and it was reiterated that Stanley Steemer is no longer the contact for this matter. I have been left with severely damaged floors, which were newly installed and very expensive, and no means to remedy the situation. I am beyond disappointed and frustrated and feel Stanley Steemer has tried to wash their hands of the situation hoping it will go away.

      Stanley Steemer came out after my insurance called them for a flooded basement. ***** and one other air duct technician arrived four hours after the call list placed in order to extract the water. Given the amount of water that was in the basement, ***** and informed myself as well as the three other guests in my home at that time that they would be unable to extract the water or go into the basement further given it would be unsafe conditions. He also was on hold with the water mitigation team at liberty mutual for to two hours after arriving around 7 PM. he mentioned that until Liberty Mutual would approve them the work they would not be able to start. After waiting for about four hours, ***** and his technician left the premises without extracting water or leaving dryers. He said that because their services will cost more than the insurance reimbursement, he does not anticipate Being able to complete any work. In the meantime, I had three of my own pumps, Attached to my own extension, cords and hoses, pumping water out. I received an email from Stanley Steemer ***** and his technician left saying that I was charged zero dollars because no water was extracted. The next day I received an email that the Stanley steamer will come pick up the dryers in a couple of days although no dryers were left. A couple of weeks later when getting my reimbursement from Liberty Mutual, I was forwarded fraudulent receipts from Stanley Steemer to the insurance company for services that were not completed. I am now at a loss of around $1800 which I would like refunded So the insurance company can pay me for the water damage rebuild. Jamess phone number is ************. I have camera footage showing nothing was completed.

      Stanley Steemer was hired on 3/1624 to clean 7 rooms/hallways of carpets in my home. When the technician said he was finished I said the carpets were still very wet. He said it could take up to 24 hours for the carpets to dry and instructed me to run the fans and air conditioning. 24 hours later the carpets were still very wet and we called Stanley Steemer and reached their call center and they were closed and would contact us Monday. After 48 hours we (the homeowners) had to pull back the carpets and use commercial air dryer fans to prevent further damage. On Monday we contacted Stanley Steemer again and they came (72 hours later) and determined the carpets were still excessively wet and the technicians equipment had malfunctioned. Stanley Steemer agreed they would send by end of day Monday dehumidifers and fans to supplement the equipment we acquired. No equipment was delivered on Monday. We called again Tuesday and were told they would send remediation equipment. No equipment showed up. We requested a full refund of our fees and were denied. I called several times to speak with them about a refund. Finally, over a week after the cleaning I received a call offering a 50% partial refund. We are seeking a full refund. We requested our bank refund the charge and were denied.

      We had our carpet cleaned in our brand new home at *** ******* on Weds June 5, the day before we moved into the home on Thurs June 6. Stanley Steemer has cleaned our carpet in our prior homes, and we never had an issue. However, upon conclusion of cleaning and deodorizing the carpet, there was a foul odor - that was not a wet dog odor that Stanley Steemer keeps saying - but an intense manure + chemical smell. We had to open all the windows and run industrial fans to try to clear the smell before our movers showed up the next time to move us into our home. Unfortunately the smell did not disappear. We called SS and they ended up sending someone out end of day on Thurs June 6, while our movers were there, to assess and they said there was definitely an error on SS part with mixing the deodorizing chemicals, and that they would need to redo the service. They did, and nothing changed thereafter. Even after letting the carpet dry, the smell is there, and has not lessened. We have have not been able to use the basement, had to send guests to a hotel, and we have furniture/boxes that are sitting unpacked ( movers we paid for) because of this. Since Fri June 7, we have tried to get the attention of managers and anyone with authority to take this issue seriously. We had a manager come out who claimed they didnt smell anything, and then chalked it up to wet wool carpet - BUT the carpet is not even wet. And literally every person who has entered the home since Thursday has indicated there is a foul smell. They are clearly trying to avoid dealing with this. We since have had to go to a carpet company to begin a full replacement because its not repairable, as determined by the carpet company. We have 2 kids (3+1 yo), a dog, and are concerned about their health and safety being on the carpet. We have paid for hotels and movers that couldnt be used because of this. We are seeking reimbursement of new carpet so we can live in the state of our home prior to SS.

      I am rejecting this response because: it is completely unacceptable and only PARTIALLY reimburses us for the carpet services.  Let alone, the fact that we now have to replace all the carpet, at our own expense.  The carpet is not salvageable.  

      We paid $540 total to Stanley Steemer.  To only be reimbursed $265 is less than half.  We used a gift card that Stanley Steemer gave us because of our prior package and the inability to effectively transfer it to our new home.  We should be getting the gift card back, even though I never want to use Stanley Steemer again because of their horrific customer service, but we are still owed at least something for money we have already paid to SS and not gotten anything for.  This whole thing is the worst customer service I have ever experienced.  I would like the full $540 back and expected a company like this to have done SOMETHING incrementally given we are now going to incur a $10K carpet replacement.  

      The fact that no one from corporate has called me to discuss this matter, and they are fully relying on the lies coming from their local branch managers is a reflection on the values of this company.  Total disappointment.

      I paid for my couch, ottoman, and area rug to be cleaned. We were hopeful for a great experience, but unfortunately we were left with very dirty furniture and an area rug with a terrible odor. We contacted Stanley immediately. We had to remove the rug because the smell was so bad. Our furniture had a layer of dirt that you could see leaving some areas looking worse than before the cleaning. I even sent them a photo of what one wipe of the furniture looked like with a paper towel which was covered in dirt. We were offered for someone to come out and re-clean, however, they couldn’t come for at least four days. We also did not receive any follow up during those four days, so scheduling was not an option. At that point we wanted a refund and to move on as we were left to deal with dirty furniture on our own with no immediate resolution to an immediate problem. We have been told a refund is not possible even though we were not provided the service we paid for. Finally we connected with someone today (10 days later) who shared a refund is not possible and only offered to come out again which we are not interested in after this terrible experience.

      I was contacted by Stanley Steemer’s customer service department shortly after I filed a complaint via phone and was asked to send photos again which I did that same day. A few days later they followed up via phone and I was given an option that I had previously explained I was not interested in which was for someone to come out and re-clean. I was then offered a gift card of 50% of what I paid which was less than what I was previously offered in writing by their company prior to filing this complaint. Neither option is satisfactory. The representative said she was not aware I was already offered that and she would look into what else could be done and follow up with me. This was in the morning on Thursday, 6/13/24 and I have not received any follow up as of today Tuesday, 6/18/24. My issue remains unresolved. I have requested a refund many times at this point and keep getting the run around.
