I haven't had to use professional carpet cleaning services much, but when we moved into a new place and the carpets were covered in pet urine from the previous tenant, it was necessary. Robert was professional from the start - communicating exactly what was needed and what we should expect. He also provided detailed recommendations, such as not to perform the cleaning on a rainy/cloudy day when the carpets wouldn't dry as quickly. Robert was efficient and effectively removed what turned out to be a huge quantity of pet urine from the existing carpet. His prices are also very reasonable for the amount of work and attention to the detail. I would recommend this company if you need to have carpets professionally cleaned. read more

I would give Robert a zillion stars if I could. I have used numerous carpet cleaners over the years but he stands out as the best of the best in my experience. He has a way of making carpeting look brand new. He is highly knowledgeable, extremely skilled, and an expert in his field. In addition his prices are reasonable and he's very friendly. Highly, HIGHLY recommended! read more

Yayyyy so happy! I made a horrible decision when remodeling our home to choose off white carpeting on the stairs, hallway & kids rooms. We've had other companies come to clean it and I thought b/c it's so light it's just never going to be perfectly clean but now I realize if you have a really great carpet cleaner who takes their time it actually can look good! our carpets, barstools, and sofa look new again and we have toddlers & a puppy- Thank you SO much for the pride you take in your work- we will only be using Robert from here on out, so happy we have found someone we trust. read more

Robert cleaned our carpets a few days ago after being recommended by multiple people (and I mean highly recommended). He did a great job. My stairs were disgusting and they look great now. He was trustworthy too (we left while he did his thing). He is very polite and was early. Checks in with you a day prior. I would and will definitely recommend him and will for sure use him again. I never got to call you and thank you so thank you! read more

Robert is the best. We have 4 very active kids, 2 dogs, and a cat, so you can imagine the beating that our carpet and couches take on a daily basis. Robert has them looking like new every time He's polite, friendly, super courteous, has toxin free options...everything you could ask for when looking for a professional read more

Our couch was in such desperate of a cleaning, it gave me anxiety. Robert was extremely friendly and helpful and was able to come out within 24 hours. Job took less than an hour and I'm happy to say I'm sitting on my freshly cleaned couch as a write this. Thank you again! read more

This was a great experience all around after thinking my carpets were going to need to be replaced. My pup had dug up a portion of the carpet and soiled it in numerous areas. Robert came in, stretched the carpet oppose to taking some from my closet. He also repaired some of the nail strips that came loose under the carpet which helped to keep everything in place. The cleaning was perfect and actually brought new life every room. His prices are great and can have things done is a pretty good timeframe. I'll be using him again for sure, this is service you just don't get from big companies. read more

Having moved into a house with new carpets we had a sudden leak over our carpets. Once the carpets were dried out Robert re-installed them and cleaned them so that they looked and smelled like new again. We yet again had another leak and he came back and recleaned and reinstalled parts of the carpet yet again. He is very skilled at installing and cleaning carpets and I would strongly recommend his service to others. When we need our carpets cleaned again I would hire him again. read more

Robert is a life-saver!! He gave me the best quote, gave his honest and professional opinion on what needed to be done, and in a very responsive and timely manner! I contacted several different carpet companies to compare quotes, and was blown away by how much they overcharged. He really went above and beyond and it's very clear that he's truly passionate about his work. Thanks so much Robert!!! read more

Had a wonderful experience with this company. I called two weeks ago and scheduled an appointment (I called way in advance due to my schedule - they could have accommodated me sooner if I needed). Robert and his partner showed up on time and even called when they were 10 minutes away. They were quick, thorough, professional, respectful, and well priced. They cleaned a couch, 4 dining chairs, and ottoman, and two low back chairs (all cream colored) as well as a child's mattress. Will recommend them to friends and will use them again. read more

Wow. We moved into a rental 4 yrs ago with old stained carpets. Today they were cleaned by SVS and all I can say is wow, again. They look tons better than when we moved in and we have 3 kids. Highly recommend based on service and price too. read more

This company was highly recommended by several neighbors. They promptly responded to all messages and accommodated an early morning appointment. Robert was very nice and did an amazing job. My car looks like new and I will definitely hire him again to clean my home and my car. read more

I heard about Robert through one of my friends that also had him clean his carpets and he worked miracles on my carpet it looks amazing! With having stains from my kids dropping juice and milk all the time and mess from my dog he made my carpet look brand new again! We have never had a more professional cleaning in our past experiences. Robert also threw in our 3 small runners and a small rug in my room for free! Just for being a first time customer! Thanks again I would recommend you to all my friends. read more

I used a carpet cleaning company for the last two years and I started getting billed for work that wasn't done. I'm responsible for a 12 unit apartment complex in Mission Beach. I was referred to this company through a friend who owns property nearby. I called them and Robert was sent out. I had three units that I wasn't sure if I should replace or clean so we walked through the units and Robert had a solution for all my concerns. I even had a tenant leave a curling iron burn in the middle of the living room in one unit and Robert assured me he could take care of it. Robert was confident and professional and informed me he had maintained several apartment complexes throughout San Diego. So we agreed on a price and I gotta say I was very impressed he cleaned and removed stains, kicked out ripples with that carpet tool and magically made a curling iron burn disappear without a trace! When it comes to carpet issues this should be your go to guy, anyway just wanted to thank Robert at Steam Verses Soil. read more

Robert has been out to clean our carpets 3 times now, and has done an exceptional job, each time. He has also done our sofa twice and our tile, and I'm incredibly impressed with that work, as well. Our tile looks better than it did when we bought our home, 3 years ago, and my sofa looks brand new! His attention to detail and professionalism have far exceeded my expectations. He has arrived exactly on schedule on all but one occasion, when his previous appointment was taking longer than anticipated. Robert contacted me right away to let me know, even though he would only be a few minutes late. Since San Diego traffic and the nature of this type of work can be unpredictable, delays are to be expected, and I really appreciate Robert's excellent communication. read more

This was such a positive experience for us. It was the first time we have had our carpets cleaned and they needed lots of love. I was not expecting to come home to beautiful new looking carpet, BUT I DID!! Robert was professional, prepared, and punctual. The prices were great as others have mentioned. We will 100% be hiring Robert again. We also have plans for him to work on our car interior as well. Thanks Steam vs Soil! read more

Robert came to clean our carpets today and they look better than the day we moved in! He got out stains that have been there for years. I really appreciated his attention to detail like explaining what cleaning products he uses (low-VOC), checking about spot cleaning, and pointing out high traffic areas. Best of all, he was extremely patient with our toddler who wanted to "help." It was extremely affordable, and he worked very efficiently. I will definitely be calling him again. read more

Robert did an amazing job on our carpets. These carpets have been playing on HARD by my two little boys and we wanted to make sure they were clean and sanitized for our baby girl who is almost crawling. We are thrilled with how they turned out, they look BRAND new! Thank you Robert for providing excellent service. read more

Robert did an amazing job on our carpet! Between our toddler and Yellow Lab, our carpet had gotten pretty dirty over the last few years and was in need of some TLC. Robert was able to squeeze us in last minute on a Saturday, and got the job done within a couple of hours. The carpet was dry by the end of the day and turned out great! On top of all that his price was super reasonable for the results we received. We'll definitely be in contact if/when we need more carpet and/or upholstery cleaning done. read more

Robert is SO professional and SO nice. His prices are surely competitive, but not at the risk of compromising service and quality. His service is top-notch, and the quality of his work is superb. His method cleaning is non-toxic, and that is key for us. We can't recommend him enough, and we will surely be using him again. read more

Robert has visited our home twice thus far. Once to clean our carpets and again to clean our sofa. Each time he's been prompt, courteous, and more than tolerant of our very busy household (two toddlers and a few random animals). His work really speaks for itself. Highly recommend! read more

I recently hired Robert and his team to clean a bunch of chairs at my workplace. Those turned out really great, so I had them clean the carpeted rooms in my home. The carpet looks new and smells fresh and clean. There was one bad stain that is completely gone after sitting there for over a year. Would recommend to anyone. read more

I was referred to Steam vs Soil by a friend and i am so glad i was! I have never met such a professional and knowledgeable carpet technician. Robert took the time to assess my situation and worked with me to remedy every problem i had with my carpet! We had inherited an ancient cat that destroyed our floors and after working with several other local and big companies eye about to give up. Thank goodness for steam vs soil. knows his stuff!! I am now the one recommending him too friends and family! read more

i was referred to robert by several people who said that he does an excellent job and they were right! my carpets haven't looked this clean in a long time. i'm usually pretty good about getting the carpets in our house cleaned often...they're white, we have a dog and a toddler, so it turns into a hot mess in here pretty quick. i slacked off though, so when robert showed up they were DIRTY and there were several food stains and dark, high traffic areas. also, there was a lot of dust around the edges of the carpets and i just got used to living with it because other carpet cleaners said there was nothing you could really do about that. robert not only removed all the stains (who knew mommy's IPA would turn the carpet straight up brown?), he got all the dust off the edges of the carpets and it no longer smelled like my dog in here. i'm so happy with the job that he did. read more

Our carpet has been in terrible shape since we moved in and Robert was recommended to me by many other mom's I know. He was able to come the same day I called and his prices were competitive and very reasonable. I can't even believe the difference! Our carpet was covered in stains and the high traffic areas were so dark. After his cleaning, the entire house looks so much brighter, I had no idea our carpet was that light! Robert was very friendly and professional and I would absolutely recommend him to others and use his service in the future. read more

Robert is fantastic! I don't know why I haven't left a review in the past! He's quick to respond and is extremely accommodating! He does a great job and is so professional. My rugs always end up feeling soft, fluffy and clean again! I'll continue to utilize his services and refer him to anyone and everyone! read more

The rental I live in has carpets that have probably never been replaced - 25+ year old, beige carpets. In a rental. Are you getting a feel for how spectacularly disgusting these things are? I have 4 kids, so disgusting is generally our forte, but things were getting ridiculous. I contacted steam vs. soil and they gave a me a super competitive quote and were totally willing to work with my schedule. On the day of cleaning, Robert kept me informed of his ETA and when he arrived, was so kind to my herd of children. My carpets look amazing. Oh! And he also cleaned my seriously vomit-inducing couch (don't judge - 4 kids, remember?) and I can now sit on that thing without gagging. AND! He cleaned out my dryer vent so I don't accidentally burn my house to the ground. I am so, so happy with the results. read more

Robert came over to clean my living room carpet today and WOW! I admit to not really keeping up with my carpets, which I know is a mistake with a geriatric dog and two small kids. Plus the previous homeowner installed carpet in the dining area? Who DOES that?! Anyway, we called Robert and he came in on short notice to make my carpets look good for my family coming into town. He asked me at every step whether or not I wanted this or that, and the price was very reasonable. Definitely going to call Robert again to do my grout and tile too! read more

Although it was a rainy day Robert showed up on time and got straight to work. He actually installed carpet for me and it looks wonderful. There was a very large roll top desk that I could not move ahead of time and he expertly moved it to another room for me. He cleaned up after himself and the room looks great. No complaints here! read more

I totally waited until last minute to schedule carpet cleaning and was pretty sure I was out of luck. Robert comes highly recommended from a local mom group so I decided to see if he was available. He fit us in, even working around my schedule. He was also able to accommodate us with having children who are super sensitive to smells. Our carpet looks AMAZING! Seriously looks new again. I'm so so happy we gave him a call. If you want someone friendly, professional, who knows what he's doing and is able to do it at a great price, give Robert a call. You won't be disappointed. read more

This review is for Robert who was very nice and accommodating. He did an outstanding job! I'm having my place cleaned due to a new tenant moving and initially had another company that was supposed to come in. I ended up not using them because upon arrival, the technician had added on an additional $120+ to my original quote. Also, they told me as I was making my appointment that they could clean bathroom floors, only to have technician tell me they only do carpets. I was so fed up I sent them away and I luckily stumbled upon steam vs. soil's yelp page. I was in a time crunch since I had to have the carpets cleaned that day. First off, Robert quoted me over the phone and it was exactly what I paid. Secondly, he was able to fit me in on the same day, even coming after business hours (8:00pm) and rushing from his previous cleaning to get to my place. Thirdly, my carpet looks amazing! I will definitely be referring Robert and will be using his services again! read more

I was referred to Robert by numerous "mommy friends" (the best kind of referral). Our renter moved out, leaving our carpets soaking wet (from attempting to clean them 2 days before) and smelling like dog. Robert came over within hours of contacting him to assess the situation. He was extremely professional. Her performed a thorough inspection with a moisture meter, as well as pulled back the carpets to see that the paper tape under the carpets and the plastic-covered padding were both still very wet. He initally recommended just drying out the carpets to see if it would help the smell. He brought over the industrial sized fans and installed them to blow air under the carpets overnight. When that failed to get rid of the smell, he did a great job systematically remediating the carpets over the next several days by cleaning them front and back. While he was there, we also had him clean the grout in the kitchen, and it turned out just as amazing as the carpets. We are so grateful to have found Robert, because we surely would have had to replace the flooring if it weren't for his help. read more
