    Yelp does not let me give zero stars otherwise I would. Terrible service. Looking at the place they gave us a 2 hr - 2.5 hr ($150 to $180) estimate. 4 hrs and $300 later not much had changed. We had to pay a lot of money for work not properly done and I have to rehire someone to clean the place up. We were ok doing this to prevent more damage to the house. Found an ash tray in the house with two cigarettes in it. When asked they said they kept it there because they were cleaning out their car. One of the two people was on phone for 15 mins chatting with someone even after we walked in. At some point I was prepared to pay what it took for them to just finish and leave The fridge is not clean. Carpets havent been vaccumed properly. The bath tub and wash basin is still unclean. And this is after spending 2 more hrs than they originally estimated and twice the estimated amount. They have removed all fixtures without asking us leaving holes in the walls which I need to fix Pictures attached. I had to hire a new maid service the next day to actually do the cleaning . I have to pay for the holes in the walls from the fittings they pulled out (which we asked them not to remove). Texted the owner the pictures and no response from her. Highly unprofessional behavior. Don't trust their estimate

    We hired them to clean our recently purchased home. It was entirely empty. They arrived at 9am. I arrived at 1:30. At 2:30 I asked them to walk me through what had been done because we had movers scheduled to arrive 3pm. After walking through the "cleaned" areas I noticed dust, cob webs, and dirty surfaces. At the end, Rainey said she had before and after pictures of the completed work. I asked her to see the pictures so I could feel comfortable paying them for the work that had been done. She got extremely defensive and threatened to call the police, which I encouraged. At this point she left. I spoke to the owner Cathy and asked for the before and after pictures. Initially she stated that she would gladly send the pictures once Rainey sent them to her. After 4 days she is refusing to send the pictures or a list of what had been completed. If your hiring them by the hour, please be sure to provide a documented list of what needs to be completed with time estimates. They stated they took lunch. Rainey for an hour and half, the other for an hour. Then they stated that they did 3.5 hours of work and were giving me a deal for only 3hours. 9-2:30 = 5.5total hours. After deducting 1.5 hours (depending on who was right) you get 4 hours. If charging an hourly rate - I would caution using cleaners who are loose with time. It sounds like they have a reputable business in Austin, but I would not recommend in the San Antonio area. (Later edit) In reply to Cathy's comment. I offered to pay and you encouraged me to wait until my wife was able to see the home later in the evening. I absolutely encouraged a 3rd party to be there, and and I believe my exact words were "please do" when she threatened with the police. That was when she abruptly left. Regarding time keeping: if charging hourly , the crew should be able to accurately document time. In regards to the the cabinets, bathrooms, and walls. This is not true. The one wall that was scrubbed is pictured below. Obviously this wall was cleaned. This was the first thing we discussed when I walked in and the only wall that was completed and the first thing that was addressed when I arrived at the home. I called my wife at 1:44 to clarify what she meant. There was no berating, but their perception is reality to them. I asked them to walk me through what had been done, and they refused. I expressed my concern. She perceived it very negatively and blew up, this was not my intention. I was expressing my dissatisfaction with their work. My perception as a customer was very negative and that they were extremely dishonest.

    Can you clean same day?

    We try to keep emergency cleaning spots open on our schedule for same day cleanings. This is not always possible, but if you call Cathy directly at the number listed she makes every effort to open up a spot when it's an emergency situation.

While I don't believe we will be using them moving forward I respect that they stand behind their work. Our former housekeeper moved so we recently had Purple Fig come in for an initial cleaning with the hopes of setting up a twice a month or bi-weekly service. We were quoted ~$280 per visit which was higher than our old housekeeper but seemed reasonable enough given they bring multiple people. They claimed the first clean was to bring things up to the "Purple Fig Standard" but when I got home after the cleaning I genuinely had trouble understanding what they did while in my home other than leave a candy cane on our kitchen counter. They don't do any laundry (even bed sheets/towels, not looking for a wash and fold service here) which is frustrating but I can somewhat understand given the time a laundry cycle takes. The most egregious offense was that they apparently also dont do any dishes . Again, i'm not asking for a post-Thanksgiving dinner cleanup here but we had a few pans and plates from last nights dinner in the sink and they didn't touch them. Overall, my wife and I struggled to understand what they really did to clean our home. When we decided not to continue with the bi-weekly service they then retroactively charged us $470 for the initial clean. For the price they charge not doing laundry or even tidying up the kitchen when there are a few dishes in the sink doesn't feel worth it. The best part of a cleaning service is coming home to a clean house that you can see and feel as soon as you walk through the door. With Purple Fig, I walked in to a house that felt like the cleaning service had to reschedule for another day

Issues with service: They do not use cleaning products. They use your dish soap on your kitchen counter to clean your counters and bathrooms - zero antibacterial cleaners used. I tried working with their team four times, gave clear and respectful feedback, and the owner called to cancel 30 minutes before, denied providing poor service, and threatened a customer. The other team member is great, he was always professional, but it's a bad sign when the CEO/owner doesn't respect or acknowledge poor cleaning services and has an ego about their years of experience instead of remedying the situation. She only changed her mind on canceling the service when she found out I was going to leave this review after 6 minutes of gaslighting me. Unprofessional, poor cleaning, DO NOT USE.

My husband is very territorial over his garage and was having a hard time letting things go. However, Melissa won him over within 30 mins. I came home from work and was singing her praises. Her ability to understand the emotional connection to material items is one of her most valuable gifts! Lux Conscious Cleaning home cleaning left my house spotless--every surface was gleaming, and even the hard-to-reach areas were thoroughly cleaned. My walk-in closet has never looked better; she helped me organize everything in a way that maximized space and was esthetically pleasing. But the standout service was her over all home organizational skills, knowledge about the real estate market and staging homes. Melissa is patient, kind, and hardworking. If you find that you need more help than you anticipated, like I did, Lux Conscious Cleaning will bring in reinforcements. Melissa schedules just enough time where you don't get mentally and physically burnt out but, feel good your accomplishments. I cannot recommend Lux Conscious Cleaning enough, from start to finish, they were professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly efficient. Simply amazing! Five stars!!

    Paid for "Deep Clean", mark missed completely Short Review:…read more$200 more expensive than MerryMaids ($478 vs $272) cleaning with less spaces cleaned than the lower priced service, equivalent cleanliness results. MerryMaids crew stayed two hours longer, did more work. Two stars for the overall experience - Pretty good cleaners by raw talent, extremely overpriced compared to the competition, middle of the market when it comes to cleanliness. Below market customer service for arguing with me about cleaning dirt off the corners of the base boards, then didn't return my sponge. Used soap on all my cast iron without asking, now I have to re-season everything. Long Review: I just paid $478 for a "deep clean" that was in all fairness a pretty good cleaning if it were a routine cleaning. Comparable to the "sparkle" cleaning I paid for from Merry Maids eight months ago for $272, but not as thorough. The only exception being that Merry Maids cleaned my sliding glass doors and the balconies, which was included in the original quote. I paid extra both times for the stove cleaning, the refrigerator etc. I also talked to a guy at their office (I think) on the phone and told him how much more I was paying compared to the last cleaning and that my expectation was that the money spent should be reflected in the level of cleanliness. He assured me that the two ladies were "the best". When they said they were done, I asked about the balconies, and they said they don't do that. There wasn't an option for that on the website either, like there was on the Merry Maids website. I also had to argue with the lady when they were trying to leave after less than 3.5 hours of work (1,600sq ft) to have her wipe down the corners of the wall by the base boards. She said it needed to be painted. When I removed the dirt by dabbing my kitchen sponge on it (they didn't bring any, just rags), she relented and wiped off the dirt. I later found that she apparently didn't return my sponge. I also had to instruct them on cleaning behind my AV system and stand, which I would assume that would be included in a "deep clean". I also found that my cast iron pans were cleaned with soap and were put in my oven wet. That's a big no no for cast because it immediately starts to oxidize. One of the pans is already showing rust so I'll have to strip it, sand it, and start over. If I'm paying for a "deep cleaning," what exactly is being cleaned that isn't part of the regular cleaning? And why would I have to monitor them and guide them on how to clean a house? I figured using a little elbow grease to remove easily removable dirt would be part of the additional fee I paid. I have attached an example of the deep clean on my floor, it took 8 seconds with a different sponge to make it look clean. I'm completely blown away by all these five star reviews. Even if these ladies are being paid $25 an hour, that's more than $300 to the business. That's more than a 60% margin against labor. If you want to pay twice as much as you need to, by all means use these people. I'll be going back to MerryMaids. I was later contacted and they pointed out that I had booked two rooms and the cleaning crew reported five. I responded that I correctly described my house when booking as having two bedrooms and 2.5 baths (clearly labeled dropdown menus), along with the square footage that includes the garage and balconies that were never touched. There is nowhere to list total number of rooms.

Despite that, I would absolutely use them again based on the quality of their work and their affordability.
