I have been using Alfs Magic Maids for about 3 months now and really appreciate their consistency, kindness and speed. We have the team come by every other Friday for a base level clean of our 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. They are always on time and patient when it comes to issues with entering the building. They work thoroughly and with haste and leave subtle touches to make our apartment look very put together. Very grateful for the service. read more

Deep Cleaning done for house was lack luster , not really a "deep clean" . Noticed lack of proper detergents used for certain tough spots. Light steam Can certainly be used in many situations but not at expense of getting things really clean. Which is the bottom line here . read more

Disappointing Experience Despite Their Effort to Make It Right My regular cleaning team had to cancel at the last minute due to a sick child, and with a huge party at my home just three days away, I was scrambling to find someone who could clean on short notice. Alf's Magic Maids had great reviews and surprisingly had availability, so I was hopeful. A team of two arrived an hour late due to traffic, which I understand, although I had to text to find out where they were. I showed them the areas to be cleaned and specifically requested that the windowsills be dusted because of my allergies. They finished in about 2.5 hours, considerably faster than my regular team. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that the kitchen counters hadn't been wiped down, there was soap grime under the dispenser, the windowsills were still extremely dusty, and the TV console hadn't been dusted. There were also streaks on surfaces, spots on mirrors, and debris left on the floors because they appeared to have mopped without sweeping or vacuuming first. I immediately sent photos to the person coordinating the service. He was very apologetic and offered to send someone back, which I appreciated. However, with my party approaching, having to document everything and arrange a re-clean was incredibly frustrating. The same team returned the next day and asked me to point out what they had missed. I found this uncomfortable, especially when the team leader repeatedly responded with comments like, "It must have been dark" and "We swept, so I'm not sure why it still looks like that." I wasn't looking to criticize anyone; I simply expected the service I paid for to be done thoroughly. For context, our home is generally well maintained, with monthly deep cleanings and upkeep in between. After a year of chemotherapy, I also don't always have the energy to do everything myself, which makes being able to rely on a cleaning service especially important to me. The second cleaning was much better, and I'm grateful that management responded and sent the team back. However, even then, certain items weren't moved, and the floor under the dining table was still not swept. I'm giving two stars rather than one because management was apologetic and made an effort to address the problem. That said, the lack of attention to detail and the uncomfortable experience of having to point out so many missed areas left me disappointed. I understand mistakes happen, but I expected a more thorough cleaning, especially after communicating my priorities upfront. Less important, but still valid, I was told I would receive a $20 discount, but didn't. I hope they use this feedback to improve their quality control, because the responsiveness was appreciated, but the cleaning itself fell short of expectations. read more

Sol and team arrived on time and went above & beyond cleaning my new home. I was appreciative that she was detailed with her cleaning and used organic cleaners as requested. I typically do not like when cleaners use strong cleaners that have the home smelling like Fabuloso. She and her team were respectful and got things done in a timely manner. I am also glad she and her team had shoe covers. I've had previous cleaners wear shoes while mopping and that just defeats the purpose of cleaning a home. Thank you, Sol and Team! read more

Responsive, punctual, and friendly staff. After the cleaning, they asked me to inspect their work and was very willing to touch any of the spots that were missed. read more

Quick response to service request, fast and efficient cleaning and very nice job overall.

This is the most professional service. I moved across coasts and wish you guys were out here as well read more

Elise and Judy are wonderful cleaners. They completed a full deep cleaning of my floors and other parts of the house, and everything was exceptionally well done. The house had been quite dirty, including areas behind furniture, and they moved everything as needed to ensure a thorough cleaning of the floors and hidden spaces. They were very accommodating, polite, and helpful throughout the entire process, and their customer service was truly outstanding. Anything I asked them to do, they did with a smile. They even cleaned the insides of closets as part of the deep cleaning--something I didn't even realize was included. There were also a few tasks that were technically outside the scope of the deep cleaning, such as the inside of a very dirty TV cabinet, and they handled those requests without any complaint at all. Elise and Judy are a fantastic team who genuinely focus on making sure the customer is happy. I'm so glad they deep cleaned my house, and thanks to their excellent work, they convinced me to continue using Alf's Cleaning Services. ADDED: Second cleaning service for garage We had a rat infestation in our garage a while back, and it left the space in terrible shape--droppings on the floor, shelves, and clutter everywhere. Elise and Judy did an absolutely incredible job bringing the garage back to life. They were extremely kind and respectful throughout the entire process, asking what needed to be cleaned in each section and making sure they understood exactly what I wanted. When I requested some extra wiping on a few storage containers, they went above and beyond and cleaned all the remaining containers and furniture as well. The garage is now sparkling and hasn't been this clean in at least a decade. They also carefully moved boxes and appliances that couldn't get wet, making sure nothing was damaged while they washed down the garage. What I appreciated most was how understanding and nonjudgmental they were about the state of the space. This was a heavy-duty job, and they handled it with professionalism, care, and a great attitude. They even asked how I wanted everything arranged once they finished. I would gladly have this team work on any part of my home again. Fantastic service and truly exceptional customer care! read more

Had them do a deep clean of my mom's vacated condo to get it ready for rent. The orocess to book them was thorough, but maybe a little complex (involved Yelp app, text, email and a phone call) but they are responsive and good communicators. The team of two showed up close to on time (my experience is that cleaning services do not show up on the minute). 10:20 for a 10am window is as good as I've seen - something to keep in mind when you're comparing. The pair of cleaners brought their own gear and were professional in their approach. The results are excellent - as clean as it's gonna get - and now I can call the carpet cleaners. Alfs will do that too, but I have my own preferred carpet guy. read more

Highly recommend Team Yury! Their regular cleaning service is efficient, super clean, and a great value. They were incredibly sweet and considerate around my 5-month-old, which was a huge help. Outstanding service! read more

The team was able to help with a last-minute request to clean my home. They did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend them.

Sol and her team did an amazing job at my condo. We needed a deep clean after a remodel that left tons of dust and paint smells and made the space difficult to be in. After Alfs Magic Maids, the space smells fresh, there's no more dust, and I'm actually happy to be there. Sol was on time, very professional, and a great person to work with. read more

This was our second time using Alf's Magic Maids, and once again they (Pamela and Rebecca this time) did a wonderful job. I appreciate how easily I can select what I need and book the cleaning through their website. The cleaners we had used before were phone or text only, and it was challenging to customize or confirm. I also like that they had more than one person come both times. I think the price is very reasonable and worth it. They charge just a little extra for pets, but it's again very reasonable and understandable. They also did a wonderful job of working around the things we had to leave out, while still making the areas look tidy. We will definitely be using their services again. read more

They are responsive to my needs, the cleaners arrived on time and did a great job. They are also very pleasant to work with. I am recommending them and using them again in my next cleaning. read more

Very prompt and courteous service. I was able to call for more information, then schedule online. The cost was competitive. They did a deep clean and the ladies who came were great in cleaning the hardwood floors and especially getting years of grease off some of the appliances. I would recommend them. read more

10000/10 - SUPER IMPRESSED! Don't hesitate, just book with them! We usually get our house deep cleaned every few months by another company. We used Alfs Magic Maid for our business in San Jose but didn't know they also serviced Gilroy. Since they did such a great job at our warehouse/office, we decided to ask if they serviced our area & they do! So, we booked with them this time around for our house. Let me tell you, A MILLION times more clean and thorough then any of the cleanings from other companies we've had in the past. The girls who came were so friendly and were very attentive and cleaned everything that I mentioned/pointed out with no hesitation. I believe one of their names was Joseline. I will make sure to request her every time! The pricing was comparable to all the other cleaners we've used but their work & service surpassed the others BY FAR. With others, I would always have to ask them to go back and clean certain areas. With Alf Magic Maids, I found myself saying "wow they even cleaned that!" They moved all our furniture to get every area whereas with other cleaners we've hired, we had to ask them to do this and they didn't seem happy to. My mom would usually always complain to me after past cleanings from other businesses and say it's not worth the money. But with Alfs Magic Maids, she was SO impressed and raved about everything they cleaned! From the light switches, to the sink, etc. Anyways! All this to say, after going through many many different cleaning companies, Alfs Magic Maids has been the best & did such an amazing job! We will absolutely use them from now on and you should too. They also should really have 5 stars for how great their work was! read more

Alf's Magic Maids delivered on a last minute deep cleaning move out service request on a holiday! The communication was excellent and they showed up when they said they were going to be there. I needed an apartment cleaned and the carpet cleaned for a move out inspection the next day. Alf's did an amazing job! Everything looks incredible and they for sure worked hard as there were some things that needed a lot of effort to make it look clean and good to go! I had to leave to run errands and take care of other things so I left them to do their business and they did not disappoint when I returned and saw how good of a job they already did! Erika & Ingrid were the amazing and hard working cleaning ladies. Memo was the amazing, hard worker cleaning all of the carpet throughout the apartment. I preferred to just have to deal with a single point of contact for both the apartment deep cleaning and the carpet deep cleaning and Alf at Alf's Magic Maids provided me with that ease and efficiency of doing business! Try and request and book these three workers together if you need cleaning combined with carpet cleaning as they did such a good job together! I would definitely recommend them for your cleaning and deep cleaning needs as they are very much worth their cost and they will give you that relief that you seek as they will do the cleaning that you do not have the time for! I made sure to tip all three of them to show them my appreciation and gratitude for taking care of me and my apartment cleaning needs so well and so thoroughly at the last minute on a holiday!

Got ghosted by them when I emailed 2x's asking for there schedule availability. Seemed like he wanted the job when I first talked to him.

This is our first time to use house cleaning service, and through Yelp and reading through their reviews, we picked Alps magic maid to try. And it turned out great!! Two ladies came in on time, we especially highlighted the hood and shower tiles area need special attentions. They efficiently completed the works with great smiles and prides. We will use their service again in the future. read more

Engaged with Alfs Magic Maids for regular home cleaning and the process has been nothing but smooth! I initially reached out to enquire and Alfonso was very responsive, he shared a quote right away and then came by to do a walkthrough and let me know the details of the cleaning. Alfonso was professional, communicative and very knowledgeable. I signed up for my first cleaning right away! The first clean was great! The team showed up on time, and cleaned the home to great detail! The place felt great after they were done! I am excited to continue my bi-weekly service with them and keep my home feeling fresh and clean all year long! Thanks Alfonso & team! read more

Pamela and Rebecca working on behalf of Yosselin team have been doing an amazing job at our home in Sunnyvale, Bay Area. they are super detail oriented and results are always consistently great! highly recommended! read more

My place was in need of a deep cleaning, and found Alf's through Yelp. Communication was really prompt within the app, and easy to schedule an appointment. Though I'm sure some appreciate the option to tip via credit card on the site, for me personally, I'd rather tip after seeing the results, plus giving it to the employee in person. I booked a deep clean and carpet cleaning, and the cleaning duo came promptly at the beginning of the hour window. They finished in about 2 hours (2 bedroom/2 bathroom) and I was impressed with how they neatly organized my things. I do think some details were missed in the process, but both were very friendly. I was a little confused as to when the carpet cleaning was supposed to happen, and about an hour and half later, he arrived. I would note this in the future so you can allot the time to be home, as I thought it would be done back to back. The carpet cleaning was pretty quick, though doing this in the rainy winter season and broken heater upstairs wasn't the best idea as it took quite some time to fully dry. Overall, pretty good cleaning service with very reasonable prices. read more

Got multiple quotes. All were good quality, friendly services, but Alfs Magic Maids won out. We had already done a recent enough deep cleaning through another service, but hadn't signed up for their regular cleaning service. We did our best to keep things clean, but needed help again. I really appreciated that Alfs didn't require another deep clean. Because of that their quote was super reasonable. Their web site's "choose your desired cleaning options" also allowed us to tailor our cleaning to our specific needs. From start to finish, I was very impressed with their overall organization. From the in person assessment, to signing up and paying for the service online, to the actual cleaning service, everyone and everything was fast, efficient, professional and on time. Actually, the cleaning crew was even here early for our early afternoon appt we scheduled. And in the end they did a wonderful job. I had read the reviews about the little extra finishing touches they do in their cleaning and they didn't disappoint. We didn't want to use the towels or toilet paper rolls as it felt our house was now a 5-star hotel. We really did appreciate their attention to detail throughout the whole process. read more

I would recommend this service & company as long as you're working with experiences cleaners or their senior team. Thanks Alf's Magic Maids! read more

Highly recommend Alfs! They've done an amazing job every time I've booked them for a cleaning. We made the mistake of going with someone else once and regretted it immediately. (Family member raved about another company which is why we gave it a try. Terrible mistake) Very professional and always on time, if not, even early to the service time. Cleaners are very thorough and leaves the office spotless. First time we hired them, they were able to remove all the hard stains! Pricing is also very reasonable with different options. Last but not least, the owner, Alfonso, is super professional, responsive and helpful when we have any questions. read more
