It is not common for a housekeeper to respond to reviews accusing that her customers are abusive. She also uses psychological terminologies diagnosing her customers that are not happy with her services. This tells a lot about her mental health than the people that she is responding to. After experiencing her services I do believe the negative ones, including the review that she was caught eating someone's refrigerator content in the security camera. Cameras don't lie. I hired her for move in / move out deep cleaning. The house was empty and there was no trash. I needed her to actually clean, like vacuum and wipe surfaces. She showed up by herself, with her husband driving her and sitting in the car, light equipment, and texted me 1 hour later that she is all done. I came back and none of the cleaning I requested was done. I wipe surfaces and it shows a lot of dust which is exactly what I told her to clean. It was getting dark and she was getting aggressive demanding money. I sent her the money to make her go away and I was going to call the police if she did not. Later, she said she won't actually come back to clean the house and make it right, because I already paid her; She gloated about this, saying that I can't do anything about it because I paid her already. Her attitude was very entitled and her tone was that she did me a favor. Her pricing was higher than a 6 person crew that came to clean a house twice the size, that showed up with a lot of supplies, and spent 7 hours deep cleaning. I made the mistake of ignoring the bad reviews. Hope you don't. read more

This was the first time I used Bertha's Cleaning. She showed up with a helper and they did an excellent job. The bathrooms and floors are spotless. She had me explain what we wanted and she did exactly that. read more

She gives you one price on the phone then when she comes over she acts like she cant believe how much work your house need and bumps up the price and then says I will do my best but I cant guarantee anything. Drama queen read more

Waste of time she quoted me one price then started saying on no I can not do for that price ,you want whole house cleaned? I cant do this I cant do that but i can charge you more for what I cant do. I just asked her to leave. read more

My realtor was appalled by the terrible move-out clean.. Greasy counter toos, dust, fingerprints, VERY POOR CLEANING. Bertha made lots of excuses. Her reviews tell the same story!! read more

Bertha's Cleaning - Grease on floor from her cleaning oven!! - Home Cleaning Near Me

Overpriced and would not accommodate our need for an every six week cleaning. Therefore we went with a different company. The quote i was given was more than I expected and/or wanted to pay. read more

Not a good service at all. Not a deep cleaning service. High price. We would have done a better job ourselves for $350.

We hired Bertha's Cleaning for a deep cleaning and had a great experience! We hadn't had one in a very long time and needed to get the house spotless and sparkling for photos before putting the house on the market. Bertha and her associate absolutely delivered! Thanks Bertha! read more

On time, reliable, fast and thorough. She cleaned things I didn't think of. Even pulled the oven out. Will keep using her!

I would leave negative stars if I could. I requested a deep cleaning service because we are selling our house and were getting photos taken right after. Berta and her crew not only charged an outright fortune for their cleaning service, they wrecked my white couch and towels, and did not clean a single window in the house.... I would expect if i requested a deep clean, that would include something as basic as cleaning windows...: I am a clean person by nature and upon walking in the house, nothing looked extra clean or sparky..oh but she did manage to make stains all over!!! If I wanted a basic dust, counter swipe, and vacuum I would have expected $150-200 (1600 sq ft house). But what do I get charged!? $395!!! Then I had to get my WHITE LINEN couch professionally cleaned after what I assume is toilet bleach since it was on my bathroom towels too, which was $300. So I spent $695 for terrible service, ruined furtinute, but oh my floor at leasttt got a wipe... The worst part is when I confronted her on the issue over iMessage, including photos of what was ruined (and I again, I am clean person so I can tell when something has been moved, adjusted, or moved), but instead of taking any kind of responsibility, she ghosted. Took my money, wrecked my stuffed then went silent. And I think she blocked my number because what was iMessage, is now a text. I would have even accepted an apology of money was tight, I have tons of empathy - but no response at all!? That's no way to run a business or be an actual human being to not take accountability for what you did... unbelievable. read more

5 Stars I cannot recommend Bertha enough! This was her first time cleaning my home, and she went above and beyond to make it sparkle. Not only did she tackle the usual cleaning tasks with care and attention to detail, but she also did so much more. She cleaned my Dyson fan (a chore I always forget about), put my dirty bed sheets in the washer without me even asking, and scrubbed my oven until it looked brand new. These little extra touches truly made a difference and showed how much pride she takes in her work. When I walked into my home afterward, it felt incredible--everything was spotless and smelled amazing. Her professionalism, thoroughness, and thoughtfulness were unmatched. I'm so happy to have found her and will absolutely be booking her again! Highly, highly recommend! read more

Bertha and her crew are the best house cleaners my wife has ever had. My wife is so picky and I can easily say that Bertha is all about the details. I don't catch the details but my wife does. We will never let Bertha go!!!! Please don't hire her unless you live near Mission Viejo because we don't want her to leave read more

Bertha and her husband are the sweetest! They take great care of my home and always show up with a smile. They are quick, careful, and their price is very fair. I'm very happy to have found them. If you are looking for cleaning, please consider them! read more

I had a great experience with Bertha's cleaning. They did a great job cleaning during my move out cleaning. Thank you Berta

Nice person that does a great job. Nothing to not like. We have her coming once a month which is a big help. No complaints. You can feel confident hiring her. read more

Bertha was great!!! She did an amazing job and cleaned our house with care and professionalism.

Bertha has cleaned our home twice . She and her husband did a good job. Sorry our review was delayed. She was quick to respond, cleaning was great. Thank you Bertha!! read more

Then someone hijacked you... charged $200.00 to clean an already clean 900 sq. ft. apartment- (I'm a clean freak and cleaned before you came). read more

Bertha is awesome. Quick and thorough. Definitely will use again. If you need someone she's the one!

Bertha and her husband cleaned our new home and did a wonderful job! She was punctual, sent follow up/reminder texts prior to showing, and got the house spic and span clean. Very hardworking couple and sweet. I would recommend. read more

Very happy with Bertha's cleaning services. She did a great job and went the extra mile. In addition, scheduling was very easy and they arrived on time. Definitely recommend! read more

2 stars because they seems nice. But not providing equal amount of quality work - request deep whole house cleaning and many places aren't clean even countertops They will quote you more money once they get to your house so always have alternative option if you are not in a hurry . read more

We're renting our condo in mission Viejo and needed to clean the place up. Bertha did a phenomenal job with her helper. They left the place sparkling. I would book with Bertha again. :) read more

Great, Deep cleaner. Extremely hard working, she worked for five hours straight, don't think she even had a break. My kitchen looked brand new after she left :) read more

Bertha and her team were amazing! I had a last minute move-out deep cleaning that needed to be scheduled on New Year's Eve. She was quick to respond, and made it work with her schedule. Very communicative throughout the whole process. She did a great job deep cleaning the house. The stove, the fridge and oven needed a lot of work, and she did an amazing job! I highly recommend them and will be using them for all future services in the area. read more

They are amazing! Very nice team of 2 people. My place was a MESS! I had guests visit and a shedding dog! They came in and they were so polite & professional and just really nice people! True professionals they knew exactly what do and worked fast as a team but with perfection! My home is sparkling I could not be happier! I will continue to call them! Solid recommendation here :) read more

One star or less. That is my REVIEW. Look everyone. Save yourselves time and money. She charged $150 for a deep cleaning and the WORST service my wife and I have experienced. I could have done a better job, and I am the reason my wife needs to HIRE a cleaning lady! ‍ 1. See photos attached. Bertha and a partner came to "clean." But also ate and snacked on our fruit. It pays to have in-home cameras. SURPRISE!!! Oh and did not bother washing out knife that she found as she rummaged our drawers. 2. Cleaned our whole house. Took less than 2 hours. And the work showed for it. Dust is still everywhere. Toilet seat still dirty. 3. They used black gloves and left it on a counter top. I didn't know that I hired a cleaning lady so that I can clean up AFTER her. 4. All trash was left in my garage steps for me to throw out. 5. She came in to clean expecting to wear the shoes she wore outside to walk all over my house. Counter productive if you ask me. Excuse me...TAKE YOUR BLOODY SHOES OFF!!! 6. Furniture and rugs were not moved and lifted. Just vacuumed around. UPDATE: Bertha called my wife disclosing she has a "diagnosis" that is considered as Protected Health Information (PHI) in my line of work. I work in the healthcare industry. I am sorry for your ailments but calling my wife inhumane for taking umbrage when you eat our food is INAPPROPRIATE. I HIRED you to do a job. A well paid job. You worked for an hour and a half. I did not pay you for me to cater to your ailments. If you knew what afflicts you, bring your own snack, buy a sandwich. Eat before you arrive, etc. Bottom line, if you are on paid time, you are paid to work. If you REALLY needed those Kiwis, speak to my wife. Strike a conversation, ASK if you can attend to your healthcare needs and finish the job later. Bertha, DO NOT CALL MY WIFE AGAIN. read more

If you saw my place before Bertha did her magic, you would've puked. She performed absolute miracles here today! Far better than I expected, and at such short notice too. Thank you so much both of you for letting me live comfortably upstairs! I can finally have visiters again! Worth every penny! Looking forward to using her again for sure! See you soon! (Promise it won't be as bad as this time! lol If I could give more exclamation points and stars I would!!!) read more

Bertha and Marco did an amazing job cleaning my house, including my fridge! Bertha responded quickly to my quote request and had availability for the day I needed. In addition to doing a wonderful job, they are both very nice and polite. I'm going to have them clean my house every two weeks. I highly recommend them! read more

If you wanna roll the dice with the lowest price, go somewhere else. I use her periodically for a deep clean and she is simply a beautiful spirit and provides great service. She is like the aunt or mother/grandma you wish you had. Does great work and you could leave her with a box of diamonds and gold and pile of cash on the counter to come back to it all there and nearly stack and organized. It's her small business, no low paid rotating randoms in your house Her and her husband are originally from Peru and simply a gem of a find. they don't judge, you feel comfortable and you want to pay her for her work and bring her back. Great Communication and prompt. As extremely experienced, She also has a 6 sense on where things that are randomly misplaced, she knows where they should go without asking questions or leaving it be We get what we pay for and and I will only choose Bertha. Hope people reading this will give her a shot. She was referred to me by a lawyer I worked with and have had zero issues. read more

I was interested in hiring this cleaning service. Made my plans around her given appointment time. She called and moved the time up to 3pm. They canceled on me right before coming. She should have asked these questions prior to agreeing to provide a service. She canceled because I was on the 7th floor and not on the first. What a waste of time and inconvenience. read more

DO NOT USE. NOT HONEST. They cleaned my home 1x a week for 4 weeks. Eventually and evidently, they got too comfortable. Basically stole $$ from me and wouldn't return it and text me "we're deciding to stop working during this pandemic phase, sorry". Not honest one single bit. Clearly they select who they think they can take from with little to no repercussions. read more

I'm honestly stunned. Bertha came today and did an amazing job. We have a fairly decent sized home with 3 shedding dogs, and despite vacuuming everyday there's still more fur to be found. But Bertha has come to my rescue. Our house is tidy, floors are all squeaky clean, and not a strand of dog hair in sight! My husband was even amazed that she changed our bedding (we didn't expect it and had planned to do it ourselves). That was really the icing on the cake. Best of all, she finished in less than 3 hours! I'm really impressed and very happy with her work. I can't wait to have her back and to recommend her to others in our little neighborhood. read more

I saw Bertha's Cleaning on YELP & sent her a message. She was very prompt in replying. I was able to book an appointment for four days later. She showed up on time and was ready to work. Both Bertha & her assistant, Larko, were awesome. They did the basic cleaning and Larko also dusted the ceiling fans, pictures on wall & mini blinds. All cleaned & finished in 2 hours. Thank you so much read more

I was amazed. We have property management business and we were doing a move out/move in within 24 hours. We called Bertha and she was at the house the very next morning. The new tenants were moving in at 2pm and she was finished by 12:00. I thought , being as it was so short notice, I would have to do some cleaning myself. Plus, this is the first experience with Bertha's Cleaning Service. I arrived and inspected the place. It was impeccable. They even cleaned the attached garage out for me and I didn't even ask. The place was cleaned from top to bottom. It was no small task, but she went above and beyond my expectations. Better than my normal cleaning could have ever done. Bertha will be getting my business from here on out and I know I won't have to worry about the quality. What a blessing to find her and have do such a wonderful job. Thank you Bertha and we will be talking soon. read more

Very professional and dedicated to her craft. My dad has been very ill, and (unknowingly to me) the house was left unattended for months. It was a disaster. I flew in to help my dad out, and the first order of business was getting the house deep cleaned. Bertha found time to help me out and charged a reasonable rate considering the amount of work that needed to be done. Highly recommend to anyone needing reliable, quality service. read more

Do not let these people steal your money!!!! It is very rare that I write a review on here but in this case I absolutely had to. Do not give them any of your business, they promised me they would come one day and ended up rescheduling for the following morning. Once they showed up they asked for more money than they originally had quoted me. I was also told that they would wash dishes and before they left, I was told that all the dishes were clean. Not until after they were gone and I went to put the "clean" dishes away did I noticed that they were untouched and filthy. The gentleman that came with her was pleasant and friendly, Bertha however proved to be a liar, a cheater, and quite frankly a lazy thief. Called to confront her, she was rude, denied everything and then she hung up on me. read more

I communicated back and forth with her on Yelp for a quote to clean my house. We negotiated for a few days through multiple messages. Then when I asked if she can start cleaning our house, she said she has no openings / not available. She should have saved me all the time by telling me this in the first place instead of having me waste my time through those many messages. read more

Bertha is quick and efficient. She was able to get me in and start my weekly service. She is responsive to changes like cleaning the fridge when requested. She also clearly communicated our holiday schedule ahead of times. She gave me the choice of the Wednesday before thanksgiving or the Saturday after. I chose the Saturday. Who wants to do thanksgiving dishes? Specifically regarding the cleaning, she does a good job.... There needs to be a little extra attention on the dishes. But I understand that's hard when you there's a lot of them. I have a Toto toilet and I am not concerned with how it's being cleaned. I just wish she'd do laundry too. All in all great job! read more
