Found this company through their amazing Yelp reviews and their services did not disappoint. I scheduled a deep clean and have since scheduled regular cleanings twice a month. They've converted me as I wasn't previously someone who wanted to go through what I thought was a hassle to have cleaners come in, but Capital Maids makes it easy and the end results are just wow. Getting an estimate and the first cleaning scheduled was easy--super responsive, and the team arrived promptly at my requested time. Man, did they get down to business quickly, carefully, and did an amazing job. I'd meant to do a "pre-cleaners' clean" to move a lot of clutter out of the way and get bags of unfolded laundry put in the closet so that they had a clearer workspace: when I saw how they had straightened up my bedroom in addition to cleaning, I breathed a huge sigh of relief! My half-finished organizing projects and haphazard stacks of things waiting to be weeded through were all neatly arranged and order was restored, in addition to the vacuuming and dusting, plus flawless bed made. The jumbles of clothes on my "chairderobe" (you know, that piece of furniture that collects unfolded clean clothes and clothes that don't need to be washed) were all impeccably smoothed and expertly folded. I was working from home in another room and they didn't bother me with questions or make much noise, just politely asked me to move to a clean room once they needed to work on the room I was in. Bathrooms are sparkling, kitchen stove top looks almost new, visual order has been restored in my family room, lol. The end result: a nice reboot on my two bed, two bath condo that had been neglected for too long and needed a good top to bottom clean. Treat yo self and schedule a cleaning with Capital Maids--you won't be disappointed and it will be such a relief to have one less item on your to-do list. read more

They do a great job at a good price. Also very flexible with timing. Amazing dusting and good at figuring out how to organize random clutter. read more

The team at Capital Maid service have deep cleaned my home several times in the past few months, and our experience has been WONDERFUL every single time. They are responsive, flexible, fairly priced, and the work they do is impeccable. Our home has never been so clean! I would strongly recommend them to anyone - they even add on services like deep cleaned fridges and ovens (ours were spotless!). Five stars all the way! read more

I have been using Capital Maid Service for the past few years and they are truly excellent. After a thorough initial cleaning, they have been coming every two weeks. They are always professional, on time, and they do a great job -- and the price is very reasonable. Best of all, they're so nice and easy to work with, even when I've had to ask for a last-minute change of schedule. Highly recommend. read more

I booked Capital Maid Service after reading reviews for a move-out clean of my two story apartment with first floor carpet. They quoted me per square foot and also gave me the option for carpet cleaning which I found pricing was transparent. Half pay was up front and half pay was afterwards. I had already physically moved out so I was not present for the cleaning but they sent me a video after they finished to show the result and I checked in afterwards and things looked great. They were also able to get me in earlier than I had scheduled as an availability opened up. Thanks! read more

I booked Capital Maid Service for a one time cleaning. They did such a great job cleaning my apartment and didn't miss a single corner. When I told them my kitchen sink was blocked up and to avoid running the water because of that, they cleaned what was stuck in my garbage disposal and solved the issue for me!! I think the price is definitely reasonable for the quality of work that they do. Highly recommend! read more

Capital Maid Service is the best DC-based house cleaning service I've used (I've lived in the region for over a decade). They are by far the most thorough and detail-oriented cleaners I've seen clean my home! For example, some cleaning services might vacuum or mop around furniture; Capital Maid Service moves the furniture around to make sure to clean every nook and cranny. I asked them to wipe down walls and they happily obliged. Importantly, they are willing to take the time required to do a meticulous job. As a note: Prices are competitive with other services I've seen. But given the quality of the cleaning job, it feels like a good value. read more

I scheduled a one time cleaning online, and was impressed with the hard work by the two ladies who came to clean. (I worked from home but from the patio to stay out of the way, and I could see them scrubbing away at our kitchen floor!) They even got the weird mold out of the stubborn corners of our ancient shower. Nothing broken and every knicknack has been dusted under. For my 1000 sq ft 2 bd/2ba, it took from 9-2:30, so an extra 2.5 hours from the initial quote of 2.5 hours. But our house has not been professionally cleaned in years, so although it was tidy, it needed a scrub. Definitely recommend them! read more

Capital Maid Service - How did they get the mold out of the shower that I've sprayed with every spray known to man? I'll never know! - Home Cleaning Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I have been a client of Capital Maid Service for 5+ years! They are hands down the most thorough, attentive and kindest team. Contact them and hire them. They are worth every penny and then some. The sparkling end product and clean home is the result of people who care about their work and getting the job done exceptionally well, and who always exceed my expectations! I own a condo in Bethesda (now a rental property with tenants hoping to sell soon) and one in DC (my primary residence) and they do a fabulous job at each. I've hired them for recurring monthly cleanings at my primary, and also for an AMAZING move-out clean once my old place was to be tenant occupied. It blew me away! It was as if I never lived there - and they are doing another one for me there this week bc they are part of the process for getting that place ready to hit the marker. It's actually been kind of neat having them also come to DC and see how I moved all of my furniture from the old place into the new :) I never have to worry about logistics bc they know the routine for both condos and with my crazy travel schedule (well, pre-Covid) have been so understanding when I need to adjust their cleanings. They are super responsive and I trust them fully in my home (and they are just genuinely nice people!) I recommend them often and endorse them fully - thank you Capital Maid service for being so wonderful!!! read more

Delighted with the service! First class , thoughtful and thourough Very pleased with the service provided by Capital Maid. They scrubbed and cleaned everything, leaving our place SUPER clean Didnt miss a single spot and were sure to move furniture,area rugs,etc........ They're just great! Thank you Capital Maid for doing exceptional job! We look forward to our regular cleaning visits. read more

They did a very thorough cleaning of my apartment! I highly recommend them. Very professional. Besides doing a great job cleaning every inch of my apartment, every nook and cranny, I also really appreciated all the little things they did to make the apartment feel brand new. Nothing was overlooked. I've been in my apartment for three years and it now looks better than it did when I moved in. Well worth the money. For my 1000 sq ft apartment it took about 3.5 hours to clean. read more

Y'all, my house is so clean right now. They even cleaned off my decorations which is not something I even thought of or would ever do myself. But it feels so nice to look around at everything looking so shiny and new. We got our home cleaned to prepare for our homestudy for our adoption process and we really appreciate the peace of mind it gives us to know that the social worker will not be focusing on our cleanliness, but instead what wonderful parents we are going to be. read more

They did an amazing job at our house after we had some issues with another company!! Capital Maids came to the rescue and did a deep cleaning. The fact that they were quick to respond was the best part. The maids are polite and hard working read more

Thank you to Vilma and Esther with Capital Maid Service for a wonderful job cleaning up our new house. We just recently moved in and had wood floors refinished, so everything had a very fine coat of wood dust upon it, and these two ladies took care of everything including all of the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Now we can finally unpack our belongings and put things away properly. They worked very hard and were so friendly and polite, including to our curious cat. This was our very first time using a professional cleaning service, and we'll certainly be booking with Capital Maid Service for more regular cleaning appointments. Thumbs up! read more

Capital Maid Service, team was amazing! They are top notch. All of them, office staff and cleaners are very pleasant. This was my first time using them. They have a great reputation and will definitely recommend to family and friends. read more

Capital Maid helped me clean my living room and a bathroom. For the living room, I also have the carpet cleaned. First of all, the price is very good. I have called several companies for a quote and their price is good. Second, they provide carpet cleaning service will other normal cleaning. Some carpet cleaning companies only do carpet cleaning, while others only offer normal cleaning services. Third, they have done a PERFECT job. My bathroom is small so we are expecting it to take 1 hour. I paid in advance based on this estimated time. However, it turns out to be ... kinda dirty lol. It took them 2 hour to finish it and they did not ask for ADDITIONAL PAYMENT!! I will definitely use this corporation again and recommend them to my friends. read more

Four and a half stars. You know those household product commercials where the cartoon mascot whirls across the screen and leaves glinting surfaces in its wake? That's basically Capital Maids. I price-shopped around a bit and they were one of the two most reasonable quotes offered. I presented them with an apartment that was not much better than a hovel, and they slaved over my 1000-sq ft move-out clean until I had an almost pristine living space, including the signature toilet paper triangle fold and tissue box fan. I have slept in grimier hotels! Thanks to them, I will be able to leave my rental in better shape than I received it in. I had asked them to cut certain corners to reduce their time investment (and pro tip, be very specific with anything you don't want them to do), and 75% of these were obeyed. There were some 1% details that I came across like two tiny fragments of broken glass (not created by them, my roommate broke roughly one tumbler per year) that likely slipped out of a dustpan when being put into the garbage; some coffee backsplash near my roommate's coffeepot; some mopping residue, items put back in different places, and a moist piece of trash was left on a porous collectible. That said, I was super impressed how they dusted surfaces I couldn't reach even with the aid of a stool, cleaned grates that I didn't even know could pop out, and spent hours scrubbing out the bathroom mildew better than I could have hoped for. Our recycling and trash cans were emptied for us so they could clean those for us too. Nigh on five stars for the cleaning, four-ish stars for the administrative details. Their online scheduler was broken, but they were regularly responsive to emails. Ilvea called the day before my original appointment to ask if they could push back the service appointment by two hours. They give a 45 minute window for arrival time, which the two-person crew did show 30 minutes into. I would have loved a heads up upon arrival or a midday update that they expected the job to take 3.5 hours longer than originally planned. I was pleasantly horrified to find them still wrapping up as I stopped home between shifts (I could smell how clean it was, but I was adding up the overage charges in my head). They locked up behind themselves and thankfully I could PayPal the difference despite the requirement of the original fee to be in cash. All things considered, I would still recommend and personally use them again in the future. read more

My friend recommended to try them and I cannot be happier. Annie and her partner were very polite and on time for my first cleaning. I am picky when it comes to cleaning, but I wasn't expecting them to be so thorough and detail oriented. They did an excellent job in my bathroom: bathtub, toilet, sink looked wonderful, not a single hair on the floor. They even moved light furniture to clean behind tables and couch. They also dusted my window blinds, something other cleaners have skimped on. They cleaned the kitchen very well and lifted items on the kitchen counter to clean underneath and behind them, not just wipe around them. I've left dirty dishes in the sink and they even took care of them! I am very particular about the floors, and the floors in the kitchen and living room looked really good. I've used other cleaners before, and hands down capital maid provided the best service for the price out there and have been doing every other week cleanings since! read more

Annie and Vilma were so amazing and thorough. I needed a Spring deep cleaning and had hoped the 2.5 hours would be enough for my bathroom and kitchen. It took 3.5 hours - but everything was sparkling clean, as if I had just moved in. They were patient and thorough and it was worth every penny. Thank you so much for focusing on the areas I most needed assistance with, and for doing a better job than I ever could. I will absolutely come back to Capital Maids for my cleaning needs. read more

Highly recommended! We have been using Capital Maid Service regularly over the last few years and they have always been fantastic. They are extremely thorough, polite, conscientious and flexible. The work they do is excellent and I can never believe how clean things are which I didn't even know could be cleaned (did you know your shower knobs could sparkle?) Price is very reasonable, and they always have at least two people come so that they are doing lots very quickly. read more

We found Capital Maids about a year ago when they were still associated with Potomac Maids. They are always very thorough and have adapted (and remembered) any additional requests we've made (like cleaning inside the vanity in the bathroom, washing the vent under the microwave, etc.). It's always the same maids so we've built some trust with them and don't have to make a request twice! We have a regularly scheduled cleaning, but they always try to accommodate us if we end up having to move one of them. The price is very reasonable and worth every penny! read more

An unreserved five stars for Capital Maid service. They put in so much time and effort, and by the time that they were done, everything was clean and the bathroom and kitchen fixtures shone more brilliantly than on move in day. Scheduling was convenient and the price was competitive with similar services, yet with superior results. read more

I have not used all of their maids, but of the ones who have cleaned my place, I would say that if you're detail oriented that you would not be so satisfied. For example, I have white stone countertops or light colored stone bathroom floors, they leave water marks on then. I'm not sure if they just dump a tub of liquid before cleaning, but any experienced cleaner would know you have to clean light colored stone a different way. And they sometimes use your paper towels to clean. Again, I didn't use all the maids . The three stars are just for those who I have used. Update on my review- the owner messaged me saying that they have never cleaned my place and that my review is fake. Actually I use my second name on yelp and not my name that goes on billing, etc. So I have used their service and am downgrading to a 1 because the owner made a comment on my other reviews saying they're fake. This says something about the way they do business. read more

Capital Maid service has been cleaning my house for at least a year.....And believe me... it is a challenging job. They are alway professional. Always courteous. Always flexible. Always do a fantastic job top to bottom. After they have visited, the house is clean and tidy. They have been very responsive any time I have had to change the day of my cleaning. I am grateful for their good work...and I recommend them without hesitation. read more

We booked Capital Maid Service to do a move-out cleaning of our apartment and they did a fantastic job! They spent 3 1/2 hours cleaning every nook and cranny of our apartment and it looks like we never even lived there! read more

Great choice! I hired Capital Maids in 2014 for a move in/out cleaning before a new tenant moved into my condo. They did a great job, so much so that my tenant then asked who I used so she could use them to help her clean out the place she was moving from. I recently sought to have them for a return service before another new tenant moved in. They were incredibly flexible on timing (moving my appointment no less than 5 times and on short notice), due to my tenant's changing move out dates. I highly recommend Capital Maids not only because of their great work, but also because of their flexibility and customer service. One note, I communicated with them solely via email because I couldn't reach anyone by phone. read more

The first time we used Capital Maids was for a spring cleaning when they were with Potomac Maids. I came upstairs to find Annie and her sister dusting the top of a large light fixture in the bedroom that frankly, I had never thought to clean. Dust bunnies were flying everywhere! They cleaned every nook and cranny in the townhouse and when they were done, the results were spectacular. That was 3 years ago and we've been using them ever since. Annie and her sister are meticulous and never seem rushed. They will happily accommodate special requests. In addition to regular cleanings, we continue to use them for annual "deep cleanings" and are satisfied with the results every time. read more

Yay! I love the service I receive. We've been with them for a year now (first as Potomac then as Capital). I'm picky when it comes to cleaning and went through a couple of other companies before sticking with Capital Maid Service. They always do a great job, and I have not had any complaints. If you're nervous about having someone come into your home to clean--don't be! Call Capital Maid Service! read more

What a beautiful, thorough job! I really appreciate all the little details (they folded all the tissues into cute fans) as well as scrubbing all the nooks and crannies of my apartment. I am so appreciative and impressed by their work. The pricing is reasonable and the service can't be beat (quick email responses + reminder email day before appointment). read more

I can not rave about this company enough!! I had the best experience with Capital Maid Service. They fit me in last minute for a thorough cleaning top to bottom...our place has never looked so good! My husband is extremely OCD and the team they sent out cleaned ever nook and cranny leaving no trace of dust behind! We will definitely be using them again in the future and will absolutely recommend them to others!! read more

A friend recommended this maid service and they where very professional. They did an amazing job.I highly recommend them to anyone that wants a quick Affordable cleaning service. They where on time which was a plus. And the house looks and smell great. The staff was nice and friendly. Thank you capital maid for sending me with a a staff that I Fully trust. read more

Update- the response by capital maids management further shows the utter disregard for service as they inaccurately claim there was "clutter" and the silver polish was of two fist sized items and the leather cleaning something that had been included in all previous cleanings by them. As for rushing that's untrue too as I clearly told the maids to take their time as I was leaving and would not be back till many hours later. I am highly disappointed in the dismal service and cleaning I received today. 1) Your maids arrived 1.5 hours later than they were scheduled because management gave them the wrong address. I had scheduled this cleaning more than 2 weeks ago and had planned my day accordingly so that the maids would be done by 6 and I would come home to pay them and then go on elsewhere. Obviously, their timing did not allow me to do this. 2) I was late for my further plans and upon coming home I saw that the cleaning was very low quality. Please look at the attached photos for evidence. I had to spend an hour upon coming home re-cleaning my apartment as you maids had left it dirty. The pictures show how the bathroom floor (marble slabs) were filthy dirty and I have attached what the clean marble slabs looked like after I cleaned them. I paid a lot for your cleaning services and it is unacceptable that I had to spend an hour cleaning my apartment because your company did not provide the service expected. The pictures show how much dirt/dust/hair I swept off the floors (again, what do I get maids for if I have to end up cleaning everything myself????) Floors also had watermarks on them, and overall I had to sweep the whole house again; scrub the tub; clean the marble slabs in the bathroom; clean the exterior of my plastic drawers and revaccum- what did your expensive service provide???? 3) In my emails for the past 3 months I always specifically say I would prefer the same ladies (Annie and Olfa) as I was satisfied with their cleaning. I scheduled this appointment many weeks ago and if these two were not available I should have been informed by your management. This never happened and I returned home to 2 completely new maids unknown to me, whose cleaning as I have already mentioned was not of good quality. As a company that is hired to clean, the least that is expected from your service is a clean house. This was not at all achieved at my house today. I paid for a CLEANING of my apartment, but as is very obvious my apartment wasn't really cleaned. Considering the fact that your company took payment for a service they did not provide me this time, I'd like to receive a response that addresses my concerns. I have been a loyal customer because I liked the quality of cleaning Annie and Olfa provided- but this experience this time (with both, the management and the quality of cleaning) has been highly disappointing. I sent them this feedback right after their service and was met with a cold and nonchalant email about how they would take this feedback into account. No attempt to correct for this horrible cleaning or to offer to have maids come by to clean the house properly; something they should have done the first time although i really like annie and olfa, after this experience i found new cleaners who know how to treat repeat customers better. read more

After living in DC for several year and using several different companies to clean my house, I've finally found a company that meets all my needs. First, they can really, really clean. I mean nook-and-cranny clean. They move furniture to clean behind it; they never cut corners. It's been a couple months now and we still get the same attention-to-detail we did the first time they cleaned the house. Second, they are so flexible with scheduling. They clean every other week, but we are also renovating and sometimes there are conflicts with renovations and cleaning. They are a breeze to reschedule and are so understanding. Finally, billing is simple. PayPal. They maybe a little pricier than other companies, but you are actually getting a clean house with no hassle. Totally worth it. read more

They are intense about detail cleaning. I was used to a fast 3 hour cleaning with 2 people. Not so here . One should expect 5 hours with 2 people which is almost twice as long. The first time they really surprise you. This is with a 2000 sq ft house. They will clean better than an owner who has time. Very polite and on time. They spent 2.5 hours on one small bathroom. Had to have 2 more maids in to complete this job from. 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. We had cleaned up prior to them coming as well. I expect on a more regular basis it will get faster. read more

My friend used Potomac Maids a few weekends ago and raved about the job they did. I found Capital Maids through Potomac Maids website and made an appointment to have my apartment cleaned They did an AMAZING job !! I cant say enough about how great my apartment looks. I actually want to only live in one corner so I can preserve how clean my apartment looks. The staff was super nice and they called me immediately to let me know there was an item on my list they did not perform. They even cleaned the my shower cadddy!!! Customer service is exceptional and they answered all my questions promptly I have already signed up for another cleaning in a month If you need your house cleaned this is the BEST company you can ever use I cannot say enough Stop reading this and make an appointment ! read more

My friend recommended this cleaning company to me and boy am I glad I took her advise. Not only did they clean my house in a timely manner but the quality of the work was just amazing and just in time for the holidays. All the staff was very friendly. Definitely will be using there services again. read more

I have been using Capital Maid Service monthly since September 2012, and I've been very pleased with their work. They always leave my apartment fresh and clean. The bathroom is always sparkling after their visits, and the kitchen is so clean that I don't want to cook dinner and mess it up. They're very thorough with dusting and vacuuming in the living room and bedroom. The personnel are very friendly and never hesitate to ask me questions about how certain problem areas should be handled. I enthusiastically recommend Capital Maid Service. read more

Capital Maid Service is the best! I have weekly service and each week I am thrilled with the way the house looks and feels when I walk in! I have used many different cleaning services in the past and I have never been completely satisfied.... but that changed after the Capital Maid team started providing our weekly service. They provide seamless communication- always very quick to respond to emails, I could not ask for more! I am very particular and this company manages to check every box! If you have had cleaning service in the past from other companies and it did not live up to your expectations- do yourself a favor- contact the team at Capital Maids- life changing :) (Ok... Life Changing might be a little over the top but I love this team!) read more

I cannot recommend Capitol Maids highly enough; they did an absolutely AMAZING job on a move-in clean for my new apartment! First of all, I had to schedule them rather last-minute, and they were completely accommodating about trying to fit me in as soon as they could - and very in-touch and easy to reach. Furthermore, the three ladies that showed up at my apartment - Anna, Juana, and Monica -- were lovely and simply did a terrific job, exactly what I was looking for in a move-in clean! Not only did they do all the basics perfectly (cleaning cabinets, shower, washing windows, etc), but they just went above and beyond to make sure the place was spotless: for instance, they moved the stove and cleaned all the grease BEHIND it; they scrubbed the grouting between the tiles on my floors; they scrubbed the floorboards with a soapy brush; they dusted and cleaned between all the "spokes' of the bannister. The place glowed with cleanliness and attention with they left; these ladies really were like artists. And I feel so happy in my new place now; it is clean! If you need your house cleaned, I'm not sure how any service could beat theirs! Just a wonderful job and company! read more

Really, it shouldn't be so difficult to find a cleaning service in the district but it is!! Capital maid service got back to me quickly with my request and now they've cleaned my 750 square-foot condo twice. I'll be honest the place hadn't had a thorough cleaning in almost 3 years. When I scheduled the initial cleaning they said to an a half hours and I told them upfront this will take at least four! It did take for ladies five hours but this house has never been this clean, even when I purchased it! The ladies are always very kind and they do an excellent job! There's no better feeling than coming home from work to such a clean smelling house!! Even my floor to ceiling wooden blinds in every room of the house get individually wiped down, it's beautiful. My only wish, is that they did regular cleanings on weekends. Sadly right now I have to take a few hours off of work to meet the ladies to let them in on a weekday. And the first cleaning has to be in cash (which for a five hour cleaning was quite a bit) but after the first cleaning you can pay with paypal! read more
