I hired A-1 as I am trying to sell my house and after being closed up for several months a realtor noticed a stale smell in the house. I called A-1 as the carpets and windows also needed to be cleaned. For $400.00 I was sold professional carpet cleaning, o-zone air cleaning and window cleaning. I was warned that the rugs wouldn't be perfect but would look significantly better. After the work was complete, I was told by the owner that the rugs were damaged in some areas and therefore could not be brought back to life completely which I was okay with until I saw it. The carpets looked exactly the same - no different than if I had simply ran a Bissell cleaner over them. The windows were far from sparkling and were left unlocked!! There were only a few pieces of furniture in the house but even that was not put back in its place. I was really disappointed to see that after they were done there was still clean up work for me to do. The ozone air cleaning really didn't seem to have much of an impact except in an area that had a minor cat odor which seemed better.
So...
Pro's: Cat odor (minor, small area) almost eliminated, they were able to schedule us within a week, willing to negotiate a little
Con's: Very expensive, did not return house to the condition in which they found it (windows unlocked, furniture moved, cabinets left open), minimal unimpressive results
