As stated before, the Turbo Blast water slide was returned in a condition that required excessive cleaning. The customer was never told that we clean our units with a pressure washer. In 7 years, we have never used a pressure washer to clean our inflatables. How other companies clean their inflatables has no relevance in this matter. The customer did leave a negative review on Google. However, our business did not delete the review. We are not allowed nor able to delete reviews on Google. As the business owner, we can only respond to the review. There were never any other customer reviews stating that they were scammed. The customer is unhappy because she is being charged a cleaning fee. The slide was returned in a condition that required excessive cleaning. A cleaning fee is due on the account. We cannot write off the expense of the extra cleaning. We will agree to decrease the bill to 6 hours.

Mrs [redacted] did rent two water slides from us previously. When she called to make her reservation, I explained that this is the last year that we will have the free rental.

This would damage the vinyl. We hand clean ALL of our inflatables. And they are cleaned until all debris is removed from the unit.I have photos of the slide with the debris on it. I have three witnesses as to the condition of the slide when it was inflated for cleaning.I have not "blocked" Mrs [redacted] phone number. I have chosen not respond to her due to her attitude. She has made no effort to pay her bill. She "dared" me to charge her for cleaning when I called her to let her know that we would be charging a cleaning fee. She also threatened to "ruin" my business.In our seven years of business. We have only charged two people for excessive cleaning previously. I would have been happy to negotiate with Mrs [redacted] on the amount of the bill but but chose not to due to her attitude about the entire event.Year to date, we have honored at least 20 free rentals. And at this point have several free rentals on the schedule. This has never been an issue and our customers have enjoyed the free rental. Mrs. [redacted] is not being charged a cleaning fee due to her having a free rental. She is being charged a cleaning fee due to the condition of the slide when it was returned.
