For years we exclusively used a nationally know franchise. We did not know anything else and assumed they were doing a thorough job. I wanted to try something different on a small carpet cleaning project in my basement before committing to doing my whole house. Wow, I was surprised and amazed with the difference! Squeaky Clean was a little more expensive but it was so worth it. The person doing the cleaning Lee Greenbaum was personable, and he gave me an education on the cleaning process. I highly recommend their services.
