Worse Than Before:
If I was writing this review a few years ago when I first used Jouny Carpet Cleaning, I would give this service a rating of 2.5 stars at best.
A few years ago, I hired Jouny Carpet Cleaning for a commercial job. A technician had to come 3 times.
The first time, the technician attempted to use a portable cleaner that stopped working 2 seconds after he plugged it into a working power outlet.
The second time, the technician did not bring enough length of hose to connect a cleaner to his van in order to do the job.
It took a third try for the technician to come with a long enough hose to keep his cleaner hooked up to his van and to clean the carpet. The job was adequate, if not exceptional.
A few days ago, I contacted Jouny to get a quote after multiple failed attempts to have Sears Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning do the job (see my Sears review at
The Jouny technician first estimated $400.00. I told him that his company had charged about $100.00 a few years ago and showed him an $87.00 quote from Sears.
The Jouny technician said he would call his office to find out the price from a few years ago and that his company would charge the same amount. He spoke to the company owner on his cell phone who told him to charge $200.00 instead.
I rejected the price, knowing it was more than what we were first charged, and found the Jouny receipt from a few years ago charging $150.00.
Jouny Carpet Cleaning has raised its prices, refusing to match competitors or even its own previous charges for customers who consider reusing its services.
I will instead not use any carpet cleaning service and will rent a carpet cleaning machine and buy cleaning solution from a local Home Depot store.
