In June 2025, as the Executor of an estate in Pennsylvania, I turned to PuroClean to prepare the house to be placed on the market. The scope of the work was agreed on and scheduled for a time that I could be present for the first two days.
The work was delayed a day because the invoice was not sent as promised. The invoice for $18957 contained inaccuracies that I was assured would be corrected. I was pressured to pay a 50% deposit of $9503.55 or risk further delay.
When the cleaning started, only half of the promised crew arrived. The cleaning did not meet the expectations we discussed, or even any definition of “clean”—bugs and mouse droppings remained, rugs were not cleaned or vacuumed, furniture to be removed was left behind.
A second cleaning was scheduled with a promise to provide a video walkthrough of the final cleaning. This was never provided. The second cleaning also had many issues—removal of several pieces of furniture clearly marked to be left, floors still not cleaned, cat hair and dirt on furniture, cobwebs and dust. Photographs and a detailed description of all issues with the cleaning were provided to Puroclean. I did not receive any responses to my texts or email in timely manner, or a corrected final invoice. I was forced to hire a separate cleaning company to properly prepare the house for sale.
Having received no response or updated invoice, I assumed the significant payments already made covered the poor quality of work performed. However, I was contacted by a collection agency for not paying an invoice that I never received. The first time that I saw the final invoice was when it was provided to me by the collection company.
Puroclean threatened my personal credit report, so against my better judgement, we negotiated a settlement of $4785. They took advantage of my loss, my urgent need to sell the house, and my out-of-state residency. I felt blackmailed into making a payment in order to protect my personal credit.
