Angie's List Award
   Bane-Clene's service company has been awarded the 2007Angie's List Super Service Award. The award is based on feedback from homeowners and given to companies that consistently maintain a superior service rating for a full year.

   Fewer than 5% of companies on Angie’s List are eligible for this award, and even fewer actually receive it. To be eligible, it is necessary to maintain an “A” rating overall and receive a minimum number of reports during the calendar year. In addition (and among other things), a company may not be in Angie’s List “Penalty Box” or have an unsatisfactory rating at the Better Business Bureau.

   Angie's List is a network for consumers. It's a collection of homeowners' real-life experiences with service companies. The people who join Angie's List are looking for trustworthy companies that perform high-quality work and check Angie's List to find out what people in their area are saying about the companies they've hired.

   More than 500,000 Angie's List members in 124 major cities submit more than 12,000 reports each month. They describe their project, and grade the company's response time, prices and the quality of workmanship.

   No company pays to be on Angie's List and cannot add themselves to the list. The list comes from the feedback of homeowners who are members. The ratings are clean and straightforward which makes finding good companies easier.

   The management of Bane-Clene is extremely proud and grateful for this prestigious award and extends its sincere appreciation along with the pledge to continue to earn the trust of Angie's List patrons.

Best wishes for a prosperous 2006!

John A. Crisp, Indianapolis


   Your service technicians were very nice and courteous. They also offered helpful suggestions with regard to carpet maintenance and eventual replacement. Thanks!

Bruce McBratney, Indianapolis


   The young men who cleaned my carpet were very courteous and knowledgeable. I appreciated their good work and especially how quick and quiet they were. My neighbors had a cleaner who used noisy equipment and who poured dirty water in the street. It ran down in front of my house and I didn’t like that. When I complained about it, he was very rude. Your people are great and your equipment is very good.

J. Kattermann, Carmel


   I still think you are the best in town. Although you’re becoming a little "pricey," we’re going to stick with you.

Grace Bill, Indianapolis


   We were referred to you by a friend and we would recommend your company highly. The young men who came here were very nice and highly efficient.

Harold Moreland, Greenwood


   We appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail by your service people! We will certainly call again for service in the future.

Mrs. Rhonda Kinman, Greenwood, IN


   Very professional service reps. Good job!

Mrs. Joan Homrighausen, Carmel


   What a difference you make. The last people we had were rude, their equipment was noisy and they pumped their dirty water out of the truck onto our cul de sac where all the neighbors could see it. Your people were polite, quick, quiet and left no mess.

Janet Schiller, Fishers


   The men did a wonderful job. The carpet looks like new. Thank you!

Mrs. Terri Pipp


   Your company gets an A+ compared to others we have tried.

Pete Zoog, Fishers


   My carpets look very clean and stain free and smell fresh and clean. Thank you!

Sue Keeney, Indianapolis


   I was gun shy from some of the other cleaners I have used. Rude people, dirty water on my driveway and lots of noise. QUIET, prompt and courteous service. Most ads promise, but you delivered. From your telephone gal to the neat guys who did the work, everything was 1st class. Thank you.

Myron McDowell, Carmel


   Of all the services I have used, yours is the best. The boys did a very good job.

Kathleen Kitterman, Indianapolis


   Your service operator was able to come earlier than originally scheduled. This was fine with me.

Lawrence Hertzman, Indianapolis


   I was not here when the cleaning was done. As far as I can see it was well done and I have trusted you to do it this way before.

Edna Murphy, Indianapolis


   You did a good job but I was more impressed by things that were not like the last service I used. No noise. They didn’t hook up a hose to my kitchen sink. No dirty water in the gutter outside my home. Thanks for a great service.

Jerry Deanly, Fortville


   I was well pleased as usual with the last job done by your company. Would gladly recommend your company to others.

Mrs. Fred Anderson, Indianapolis


   Very impressed with service and expertise of staff. I will definitely recommend Bane to others.

Mrs. Nancy Whitmore, Indianapolis


   I think your service operators do a great job with advice and products without making me feel like I'm being "sold." Thank you!

Georgia Forte, Indianapolis


   Bane is always the BEST!

Mrs. Pam Gray, Indianapolis


   You are the best. If I'm not 100% satisfied, you make it right. In probably 10 years of service, I had one concern. You responded and it turned out great. Receptionist and reps are very personable. I feel service men care and want to do their best.

Mrs. Mary Jo Kinnaman, Westfield


   The company is "user friendly." Have never had a problem. We appreciate the fact that we can rely on continued good service.

Mrs. Vicki Holland, Indianapolis


   This note is long overdue. You cleaned our carpet on August 26, 2005. I am writing to say we are very pleased with the results. In all our years of having carpets cleaned, I must say your company and your employees are tops. Our neighbors. Bill and Louise Mattingly gave us your name and telephone number. I have spread the word and several of our neighbors plan to call you for your services. Thank you!

Sara and John Donaldson, Zionsville


   My kitchen carpet is old and was very dirty. It looks like new. They worked quickly and quietly. I was well pleased with everything they did, was surprised to get it done so quickly.

Mrs. Eudora Blanchard, Indianapolis


   I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the wonderful job your team did when they cleaned our carpets a couple of weeks ago. We have a toddler (who loves chocolate milk) and a couple of teenagers (who forget to take their shoes off as often as they should), so I was quite shocked when I got home that night. They looked nearly as good as we did when we first moved into our house! We have been very pleased with your service in the past, but this cleaning was by far the best. We appreciate the excellent work!

The Kleinschmidt's, Indianapolis


   Last service we used poured dirty water on our lawn and the truck was noisy. We really appreciated how quick and quiet your men were and especially that they took the dirty water with them. We have told all of our friends about your service.

Janice Isringham, Carmel


   I can't say enough about the great job your company does. I have told all of my friends to call you when they need their rugs cleaned.

Jan Holder, Indianapolis


   Your men did a fine job. Carpets, rugs and furniture look great. They were quick, courteous and quiet. Can't ask for any more than that.

Nancy DeVore, Carmel


   You have a wonderful staff, especially the cleaners. They are courteous and do a fabulous job. How nice to have such people to do home services.

Judith Lieberman, Indianapolis


   Just wanted to let you know that the folks you sent to clean our carpeting passed my wife's test, e.g. areas I and other firms couldn't get cleaned were a piece of cake to your folks!
   The men who came were clearly professional, cleaned areas that other carpet cleaning firms hadn't touched and lifted furniture to place protective papers and foam where these same firms left the furniture to "grow" rust marks.
   The fact that you satisfied my wife's concerns greatly pleases me. Moreover, your folks were on time, organized and provided a TRUSTING service from second number one on arrival. Your folks knew what to do, how to do it.
   Obviously, you must have some armed forces in your background!! Please pass a special "Thanks" to those you sent. Our best regards for a superb service. We'll be calling later for our routine maintenance cycle and we know we'll get the same excellent service.
   Thank you.

Colonel Tony Rogers (Ret)
Indianapolis


   I'm very pleased with how clean you got our carpets. We were actually thinking about replacing them with new carpets but they are only five years old. We will definitely use your service again in the future.

Mrs. Don Wallace, Indianapolis


   It was an excellent job. They were quick, quiet and polite. Unlike some other services I've used.

Donna Sexson, Zionsville


   Ours was just a small job, but we were pleased with the service and how we were treated. We will use your service again.

Judy Kingston, Carmel


   Everyone from your telephone gal to the guys who did the job were just great.

Sue Bryant, Brownsburg


   When your service operator got through my carpet looked brand new and I just love it. Thank you so very much.

Nicole Smith, Indianapolis


   I have been a Bane Devotee for years - wouldn't let any other company touch my carpets.

Mrs. John Willis, Indianapolis


   As always the job was well done. I recommend your service. Thanks for the $25.00 gift certificate. It helps when on a fixed income.

Ruth Secrest, Carmel


   We have always found your work to be VERY good. Your cleaners did a great job in cleaning our hall runners in your plant. Whoever did the fringe did an excellent job. Thanks for all of it.

Dr. Ryland Roesch, Indianapolis


   My carpets look great! See you again in the spring!!!

Mrs. Paula Yarian, Noblesville,


   I was very pleased about how the carpet cleaned up like new. Thanks and I really appreciate the Bane-Clene spot remover I got to clean up spots. It really works.

Jane Clonch, Greenwood


   My carpets look so terrific that I may not replace them right away like I had intended. Your men were courteous and prompt and the job was wonderfully done.

Diana Reams, Brownsburg


   I think my neighbors were more pleased than I was. They came over to see who was doing the work at my house and how it turned out since they had such a bad experience with another company.

Kim Meadow, Carmel
