We have our entire house cleaned every two weeks. As we've become older and less mobile, we've had the same person come for two hours every week to help with chores. We started with April Lane when she cleaned on her own. We continued as she developed her business, and we've been with her for well over 30 years now. That should tell you everything. She has consistently assigned us incredibly competent cleaners who have stayed with us for several months to several years. Currently Alex is cleaning for us, both for the full house cleaning and the assistance with chores every week. She is exceptional, and I can't say enough about how much she's made our life easier. Besides her competence, she is a true pleasure to work with. What more can I say? Some services may be cheaper; however, we feel good about the high level of expertise and the fact that they vet new cleaners very carefully. read more

I have never used a home cleaning service before. When I found this company online, I feel like I hit a gold mine. Everything from start to finish went very smoothly. They're cleaning service as well worth the value. They did an extra extraordinary job on my apartment, my charge was less than what I was quoted because they came in and did what needed to be done and didn't waste any time doing it. I was surprised at the end of the cleaning. One of their managers comes and inspects the work. read more

April Lane's Home Cleaning - Home Cleaning Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm sorry, but this cleaning service did not hit the mark for me. It was VERY expensive with not good results. The entire booking and communication process was great. They have lots of rules about what they do and do not do. I find it quite confusing when you are booking a "deep clean" vs a routine cleaning. So I booked a "deep clean" which was 4 people cleaning my house. I was not satisfied with the results. The group of 4 was not even in my home for a full 3 hours (which is fine if it were clean). I do not believe they wet mopped the floors. Dust and hair remained all along the baseboards in bathrooms, items not moved on kitchen counter to clean, kitchen rug not even moved for "mopping," kitchen floor had dirty spots, cobwebs in corners of bathrooms, large wood slat blinds not dusted, an area rug in a bedroom not vacuumed. I don't understand what a deep clean means to them. This wasn't even good enough for a routine cleaning, IMO. Are you telling me a deep clean by 4 people costing over $700 for 2,000 sq ft home means you aren't even moving items on the kitchen counter or the kitchen rug to clean?! Outrageous! I moved items on the kitchen counter, and there was dirty and dust behind/underneath. You've got to be kidding me! I shared this with the company, and they were willing to come back out and clean the things missed. I don't want you to come back, I wanted it done the first time! Don't make me do extra work because you didn't do the original service. Also, they could not explain to me what their "deep clean" actually is. They also said a routine monthly cleaning for me would be over $700. HECK NO! EDIT after company response: I just don't think we are compatible. I understand the concept of a deep clean but not what it means for your company. It seems like the "routine" tasks were done by 4 people. And then the price would be the same for monthly. So it just seemed the same as a routine cleaning and nothing to make it extra clean for a deep clean. No extra things were done. read more

April Lane's is an absolute gem of a company. They are phenomenal. We are endlessly grateful to have found them, when we were navigating surgery and health challenges that made cleaning much more difficult. Everyone at April Lane's is so warm and kind and easy to work with. We already loved April Lane's and didn't think we could be any more impressed. Then Daisy and Karina showed up, and got our shower and especially the shower floor cleaner than it's ever been in the 8 years we've lived here. And we've tried! I haven't been able to clean as hard given ongoing health challenges; I was so grateful and amazed seeing the shower that I teared up. Thank you SO much, Daisy and Karina and everyone at April Lane's! read more

We've used April Lane for almost 4 years now and they have consistently done a great job. Carolyn, our current cleaner, leaves no stone unturned and the house is spotless when they leave. What I appreciate most is their flexibility and customization; in addition to the typical cleaning we can choose to add things like refrigeration clean out when we need it. On top of that, Carolyn is so friendly with our dog which is much appreciated. I highly recommend April Lane if you're in need of a cleaner. read more

Lynn, Daisy, and Jenessa did a great cleaning for us. They were timely, prepared, thorough, efficient, and considerate!

From competitive bidding, to scheduling and defining services desired, and with day of service promptness, efficiency and outstanding outcome, the April Lane team has met and exceeded expectations. The team of Daisy, Shaun, Kiana, and Elisiana were professional and hardworking (and really nice!) The results even met my "white glove" hopes, and I especially appreciated the excellent communications and attention to reviewing products to be used, and satisfaction with outcome, that the team provided. Thank you, April Lane! Keep up the great work!! read more

I've been using April Lane's for regular house cleaning since 2016. I switched from another company, because I got tired of inconsistent quality of work and how all my stuff ends up being rearranged on kitchen counters and bathroom sinks. I chose April Lane's because they try to assign you a regular cleaner as much as possible. They also asked me to prioritize my cleaning needs as well as tell them about my pet peeves, and every cleaner have respected them! I've gone through multiple (great) regular cleaners since, but my current one, Lynn is my favorite so far. She's efficient yet thorough, and frequently goes above and beyond to clean things I don't expect her to. It was such a lifesaver when she cleaned the bathroom ceiling for me to wipe off the mold that were starting to accumulate. My dog and I look forward to her visit now, since she's so friendly and we enjoy her company! read more

WOW! Thank you, Shawnee, from April Lane's Cleaning. My apartment is so clean and beautiful. It is literally healing me. I had a single mastectomy in November and ever since the surgery I have struggled with my energy level. It is difficult to keep up with basic chores. Shawnee came in and did some kind of magic to make our apartment look amazing. Our floors our spotless. The dust in gone. The bathroom shines. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I am so so so grateful. read more

April Lane's is just the best. They've been taking care of me for almost 8 years now and I am endlessly impressed with their communication, service and attention to detail. They've cleaned 3 different houses for me, coping with my teenage children, pets, and changing requirements without fail. They train and approve each cleaner individually and apply a consistent standard so even if your regular cleaner is not available the same work will get done in the same way. They keep notes at the company level so substitute cleaners will still know not to touch the piano/move the appliances/pet the dogs/whatever. The pandemic has made everything complicated but they will work to your comfort level - staying masked, staying 6+ feet away, etc. Just book them, you won't go wrong. read more

These peeps saved me at a time when I was physically incapacitated. A very kind friend saved the day and I was floored when a she send me a git card for April Lane. My prior attempts to find a cleaner on a temporary basis met with failure. Many other companies had very restrictive assessments with over-the-top details, or were ridiculously expensive, or had endless rules, or seemed to be only expert in roadblocks - not flexibility. April Lane staff did everything to help and listened to what I needed, and wow... we could not have been happier. Courtney was exceptional on every level imaginable. Not only are her cleaning skills insanely brilliant, but she is kind, jovial and a delight. What's not to love:) read more

I have used April Lane's Home Cleaning for about 10 years now and the cleaners all do a great job. The cleaners are all very professional, friendly and thorough. I also appreciate the clear communication from the office staff so I always know when my cleanings are or if there are any things to expect (e.g. a new cleaner being trained). I recently came home to a sparkling clean house cleaned by Alex and she even did a little extra clean of my glass back door as a bonus. They are a little pricey, but it seems like they treat their employees well. read more

I hired and fired three cleaning services before finding April Lane's. Finally, cleaners who actually do a thorough job, not just the first time, but EVERY time. No matter which cleaners they send, I am always happy with the job they do. They are personable and professional and seem to roll with whatever chaos is happening in my home when they arrive. The office staff are also amazing---super responsive and always willing to help with whatever we need. Michael and Jenessa did a great job last week, and Daisy is always a favorite as well! read more

Michael did a lovely job cleaning our condo this morning. We like April Lane's because they do good work and seem to take care of their employees. read more

We have used this company for years and they are thorough, reliable and trustworthy. We trust then to clean our home while we are out of town and have always found them to be responsive to any concerns. read more

We've had every-other-week cleanings by April Lane's for a couple of years now. They do a great job, and I get the impression that it's a good company that cares about its employees and keeps them happy. They are great to deal with; no problems ever with billing or communication or schedules or anything like that. I think they have gone through some significant growth, so there has been some turnover in the individuals who come to clean, but they always let us know in advance when they make a change, and now it seems to have settled down so that we have a regular person, which we like. p.s. Just looked at some of the other reviews on here, and I'm impressed that it looks like they respond to each and every negative review and try to do what they need to to make every customer happy. That's consistent with my experience - this is a clearly a well run company that pays attention to detail. read more

April Lane home cleaning respond quick for my request to hire and so helpful to give a estimation Thank you read more

I have been a customer for many years. Yes, they are a tad expensive. However, the employees are trustful, thorough, professional, and helpful. I feel very confident having them clean my house while I am not at home. I get excellent and consistent service. They are thorough and address any issues I may bring up. They are accommodating to my odd schedules. Frankly, they do a better job of cleaning my house and organizing my clutter than I could ever do. For all of these reasons and some others, I remain a loyal customer and recommend their services. read more

The world's best house cleaners, *and* reasonably priced. Seriously. They are professional, thorough, friendly, helpful -- everything you could want. We have one cleaner we've worked with for the past two years, and although everyone else has been absolutely fine (sometimes she'll bring a trainee), Breezy is ... well, like a breath of fresh air. :) I feel like I *make* money getting my house cleaned professionally. I work from home, so by outsourcing, I spend that much more time focused on my own work. In a way, it's one of my most valuable investments in my work. read more

This negative review is based on the huge disparity in the quotes I received; I did not even schedule them to come and clean my house. I called the office 3 weeks ago and requested a detailed quote for my townhome based on square footage and number of rooms to clean. I took copious notes and called Samara today to schedule. She gave me a completely different price quote that was 50% more than the original estimate that she emailed me. She was apologetic, but I was really shocked and dismayed to be given a new quote that was so much more expensive than what I was originally told. read more

Pros: Communication was easy between myself and the office staff who schedule the appointments. Mostly via email, and called in a credit card number. Cons: I was surprised at how little got done in the 3 hours that I paid for. My apartment is about 450 square feet, wasn't that dirty, and all they did was dust, wipe counters, mop and vacuum the floors. Supposedly, they didn't have time for any "extras" and I was charged for the full 3 hours. Very, very, very disappointing. I've hired Merry Maids (Lynnwood) in the past and experienced much better, more thorough service. After moving to Seattle, I decided to give April Lane's a chance because of the good reviews they received here. I think that was a mistake and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have hired them to clean my apartment. read more

Thesis-writing and job-interviewing had totally distracted me from cleaning and packing. I realized over the weekend that I was going to need help if I was going to make my apartment presentable for a parental visit this weekend. (You don't need maternal disapproval at graduation). April Lane's Home Cleaning to the rescue! I sent an email on Saturday, and had an email/voicemail back early Monday morning. They were able to schedule me for late this week like I wanted, and gave me a really reasonable price for 3 hours of hard-core cleaning. Isela came exactly on time and was very sweet and efficient. She didn't catch quite everything, but my apartment went from total disaster zone to completely presentable between 2 and 5 PM.], and that's a feat. Bonus points: Samara told me over email that it would be easier and cheaper for me to buy new drip pans instead of having them clean them. I had no idea but seems how they're only $12ish at Home Depot, she was right. I really appreciated that she was wanted to save me money by using Isela's time as efficiently as possible. I couldn't afford to use them on a regular basis, but maybe you can. And I'd highly recommend them for an emergency/move-out/holy-crap-I-can't-show-THIS-mess-to-my-mom cleanup. read more

My dog has been frantic since we got home, trying to figure out what we're doing in an apartment he doesn't recognize. Since he can't smell himself anywhere he's been rubbing himself on the floor, making sure that I need to use this cleaning service again in the future. The jerk. Doesn't even pay rent. April Lane did an excellent job. The things they did well: - Great customer service. - Staff was friendly. - Apartment is extremely clean. My place looks so good I took a photo and some of my friends asked if they could roll around on my carpet for fun. My friends are weird. This was not easy work. There was dog hair everywhere that built up after my dog's fur broke my vacuums. That's vacuumS, with an "S." The bathroom was also out of hand, and there was a ton of dust littered all around the apartment. Right now it looks great. I'm extremely impressed. It's more of a 4.5 than a 5 though. There were still a few problems. There are a couple of cobwebs that I see and one of the windows was skipped, but whatever. I can get those myself. Also, they were way off on the estimate, and I gave them a considerable amount of information before they gave me the estimate, so I wish that had been more accurate. But the company did a great job, so I'll round up so that they get more business. Overall, I'd use them again, despite the extra cost. read more

This was my first time using any cleaning service, and decided to try out April Lane's after a friend's great experience with the service. After 3 years of living in the same apartment, there were definitely areas where I needed help!--especially the bathroom! Laura was prompt, super friendly and tackled a lot in the 3 hours she was here. Samara was super helpful according to my boyfriend's phone interactions with her. Laura went above and beyond in cleaning but also tidying up the apartment and making the apartment feel brand new again! Also, you fill out a priorities checklist to make sure your certain areas of your residence are cleaned and addressed. I definitely wished that I had called upon them sooner when my family visited last month. I highly recommend using April Lane's whether it is a regular monthly thing or a once a year thing...they are amazing!! :) It was $45 an hour if you're not a regular but definitely money well spent considering how much time you are saving from your attempt at cleaning and any other errands/events you can go to in the time they are cleaning! read more

I've had my house cleaned by April Lane's for more than four years now, and have nothing but good to say about them. In that time, I've had three different cleaners, each of whom was friendly, efficient, and thorough. One of the things that I really like about the company is how easy it is to scale and customize the service. I rent rooms in my home and I'm on a pretty tight budget, so I have the company clean the kitchen, bathroom, hallways, and living/dining/sun room every two weeks, but skip the full dusting and fingerprint-wiping treatment. I'm able to add on services on an as-needed basis (watering the plants, cleaning the refrigerator, etc). They're happy to use specific cleaning products that I provide (such as my special marmoleum floor polish) and take care to follow any special instructions that I might have. The main office notifies me of anything out of the ordinary, such as a substitute cleaner, a later-than-usual start time. They're also quick to deal with any mistakes. Once, the cleaner had a busy schedule and accidentally skipped our house. The cleaner and the main office realized it before I did, and gave us 50% off our next cleaning, just as a matter of course. Another time, I asked them to clean the fridge and the wrong fridge got cleaned, but they caught it before they left and cleaned the actual fridge, and comped me the time spent cleaning the other one. I also really like that I have the same cleaner every week, and that she's a real person with a name (hi, Liz! and Jessica, and Kat!). I try to be out of the house during the actual cleaning, but my cleaners have always gone out of their way to remember me and my house. Our current cleaner, Liz, makes sure to have the main office notify me if she's scheduled to come by early, since she knows it takes me a little while to prep the house for her (putting away dishes, changing out dirty bathmats, etc). read more

April Lane's Home Cleaning has provided exceptional service with the best customer service to follow ever since day 1. The price you pay for their service doesn't do the amazing work done justice. I never knew my home could be so clean! read more
