    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.

    We called Budget and spoke to them with less than a week notice to get our apartment cleaned for move-out. They were prompt, affordable and very nice. The two women who helped us were so nice and did an incredible job! We will definitely be using them again in the future!!

    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.

    Ema's Housekeeping - Toilet with blue stains that they simply told us to replace the whole toilet instead of cleaning it

    I recently had a family member pass away and my apartment had been neglected for a while, so I…read moreneeded a very deep reset clean. After reaching out to several cleaning companies in Austin, Ema's Housekeeping not only gave me the best quote but also had the best communication from the beginning. They arrived right on time and made the entire process very easy. Ralph handled the cleaning and did an incredible job. For just one cleaner, the amount of work he completed was impressive. He took the time to bag trash, organize items, and then do a full deep clean of the apartment. What stood out most was the attention to detail. You can tell they don't rush through the job just to finish quickly -- they actually take the time to do it right. The apartment looks and feels completely reset. Payment was also very simple through Zelle after the service was completed, which made everything convenient and stress-free. Overall this was a great experience and the best price I found in Austin after contacting multiple cleaning companies. If you need a deep clean or even regular maintenance cleaning, I would absolutely recommend Ema's Housekeeping. I will definitely be booking with them again.

    We hired this cleaning company because we urgently needed our house cleaned for rental showings…read more They offered same-day availability, which was the main reason we chose them. They charged us $300 for a 1,509 sq ft house -- despite the fact that the home had brand-new blinds, brand-new flooring in all three bedrooms, and no refrigerator to clean. This was absolutely not a discounted or bargain price. Before hiring them, they specifically promised they would come back and address anything my realtor found unsatisfactory after the cleaning. Based on that promise, I paid them in full immediately after the service. A few days later, my realtor inspected the property and found the cleaning quality extremely poor. She provided them with a detailed list of areas that were still dirty. One toilet was so poorly cleaned that my realtor cleaned it herself. On another toilet, instead of properly scrubbing blue staining inside the toilet, they simply suggested replacing the whole toilet altogether. That alone tells you the level of effort they put into the job. The dishwasher was still dirty. Windows, baseboards, drawers, and other surfaces were visibly dirty. There were even cobwebs still hanging on the walls. When I contacted them to come back as promised, their attitude immediately changed. They were rude, dismissive, and kept delaying scheduling. I gave them my husband's number to coordinate a return visit, and they said the earliest they could come was Saturday (nearly a week later). Then on Saturday, they suddenly claimed they would not return unless someone was physically present at the house to inspect their work. This made absolutely no sense because they already knew the property was vacant and that we were remote landlords. They had completed the original cleaning using an access code with nobody present, so this was clearly just an excuse to avoid honoring their promise. After that, they stopped answering calls from both me and my husband entirely. The house was still dirty, and we ended up paying another cleaning company to redo the entire job properly. Unprofessional, dishonest, and extremely poor-quality work. I would strongly discourage anyone from using this company. Respond to the owner's response: you lied! (1) The toilet was totally cleanable. The second cleaner cleaned this toilet with no problem. It looks very clean now. But you even didn't try and simply asked me to buy a new toilet. What a moron. Another toilet shown in the picture showed how my realtor easily cleaned after you still left it dirty! (2) my husband said he didn't clearly agree to have someone come for you because your accent was strong and he couldn't clearly hear what you said. Simply not realistic for us to agree. When he called you, you also didn't tell him which day and time you could come back to clean the house either. Later when I called you to come back, I already explained to you why we couldn't have someone on the spot waiting for you because it was an empty house and we couldn't hire someone to wait for you there. You knew this already even before we let you clean our house at the beginning, because we gave you the house access code to come in and nobody was there! We told you our realtor would come a few days later to check and asked if you could come back to finish cleaning if she pointed out dirty places. You agreed which is why we gave you money to do it. Unfortunately we paid you in full on the same day you did the cleaning. So you can become a moron later. You simply didn't want to keep your own promise to come back to finish cleaning. You could simply say you would come back to finish cleaning what we pointed out and no more trips if my realtor found out more later. However you simply refused to answer our phone and disappeared! If you continue to lie in public here after causing us so much stress and financial loss by hiring a second cleaner, I will further seek related third party for help. I don't believe such a horribly bad company could lie like this in public.

    Purple Fig - We won Best of Austin 2024

    Update: 12/5/23 - I'm updating this as the owner did reach out to us and refunded the cost of the…read moreinitial clean. 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

    TL;DR - Highly recommend Purple Fig, worth every penny…read more We had a wonderful experience with Purple Fig - they cleaned our home right before Christmas and got everything in tip-top shape in time for houseguests to arrive. I was super impressed with how easy the onboarding process was - communication was fast, detalled, and I knew exactly what to expect the day of the cleaning. I loved that I received an alert when the team was on the way and their approximate arrival time - so helpful! Since I work from home, the team asked very considerate questions about which rooms to clean first, what would be the most convenient / least disruptive for me, etc. They were efficient, detailed, and I was blown away by the quality of the clean. And the best part - my home smelled AMAZING. I don't know what type of magic they infuse into their eco-friendly cleaning products, but I would like to buy it in bulk please! :).

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!!
