OK, so we looked on the internet for good testimonials for companies that could clean our carpets, we didn't just want any stranger in our home.
After much searching, we saw the Go Green Pro Co.
We saw their testimonials on their site and this site and it seemed reasonable. (paddyv's review was not up yet) I called, & was quoted $180, it ended up being in the $300's. Prices just kept getting higher as they worked on the carpet.
Bill is the perfect conman. Loud and always working to getting money out of you.... I should have seen it coming.
Anyway, the carpets were cleaned about 50%.
Many stains did stay behind, and they were unable to get them off. Oh and about the 12 step process they pride themselves on, it really is only 3 steps.
1. They spray the carpet with cleaning solution.
2. Bill then waits about an hour, by calling his wife and complaining, this went on and on...
3. They vacuum and rinse the carpet.
Oh and be aware I was told to wait 4 hours, "by then it will be dry"
3 days later 3 rooms were dried, my son's room wasn't and by then it smelled moldy.
As, for those looking at being "Green" I noticed they were just filling these bottles that were labeled "biokleen" with who knows what. So if you're picking them because they are "green" I feel I should warn you, I really don't think they are. They left a bottle behind. It smells like Resolve Carpet Cleaning Spray. There is NOTHING natural about the spray. That and the label is almost peeled off, as they have refilled it so many times.
I noticed after the bottles were empty Bill would put them in his pocket. I offered to throw it away, he said "no thanks"
Funny how the rest of the trash they made wasn't put in his pocket.
I also feel I should warn you that if you need carpet stretching, don't let them near your carpet!!! I have a 1/2 inch gap, from the edge of my carpet to the hardwood floors. This is what I was told by Bill, "don't worry it will stretch over time" The gap is still there!!! Now we are looking at having that replaced!
Bill claimed he had a "power stretcher". This device was to minimize us having to move the heavy furniture, as it would stretch the carpet with no problems. He said this is what he would use when I talked to him on the phone. Can you see what is coming???
There was not power stretcher, it was Bills knee, a knee kicker, and lots of cursing! Good thing the kids were at school.
Last but not least, be a smart consumer, I feel I have learned much from this experience.
Look any company up at the BBB (Better Business Bureau), before hiring them.
If there is a complaint at that level, don't use them.
As the reviewer 'paddyv' pointed out they have an F rating. Google Better Business Bureau, and search "GO Green Professional Cleaning Services" They really do have an F!
Pros: Learn from my Mistake!!
Cons: Poor service, and really really high prices
