I hired Crystal Cleaning to clean my home on a bi- weekly basis. I loved my assigned crew and how…read morewell they cleaned. My review of the company would have been highly rated-just like a lot of the other reviews you will read. That is, until the day Crystal Cleaning switched my usual crew to a new crew. My normal crew had been overbooked, so Crystal Cleaning sent a new crew into my home. Crystal Cleaning assumed that I knew who they were. At that time, Crystal Cleaning also cleaned at my worksite. The particular crew that Crystal Cleaning sent into my home was the same crew that worked inside of our office, cleaning weekly every Monday and since that crew was a subcontractor, they also cleaned on Wednesdays on the side. The day the new crew came into my home, it just so happens both of my kids were home from school. My youngest, 16 years old, was sick in bed so when it came time for them to clean his room, he left his bedroom and went to the couch and watched T.V. By lunchtime, he called me at work to tell me he thought the cleaning girl who cleaned his room had stolen a very sentimental watch from his night stand. Which let's be honest, he should have put away. Nonetheless, the watch was there when the crew arrived and gone when they left. I asked Crystal Cleaning Management to check with the crew to see if they had simply misplaced the watch. The owner Crystal informed me that nobody had seen the watch. After being extremely patient and even informing Crystal of how I would be very forgiving if the watch would just find it's way back into our possession, I was only given more replies such as "we have an extremely strict zero tolerance policy for things like this" and "our crew didn't see the watch at all, they did see trash and cups on his night stand" (which isn't true because just like the rest of you, the night before the cleaning company comes, you tidy your place up! There was no such trash or cups on his night stand) I called Baltimore County Police to write up a report. Crystal Cleaning provided the crew information to the officer. With no talk of any kind of resolution on Crystal Cleaning's end and a long back and forth with Crystal and her office staff, I finally had to ask for their insurance information. Crystal never once offered that information up to me which I found odd when it clearly states they are both Insured and Bonded on their web site. I was given Selective Insurance Crime Bond information with a policy number. I wrote out a very clear and professional email with photos of the watch that was stolen as well as the contact information for the Baltimore County police officer who wrote the report. I asked to be updated with any progress. After a week of hearing nothing back, I emailed Selective Insurance asking for an update or a claim number. Selective replied back to me that I had no rights to the claim, that I was not party time the claim, as stated in Crystal Cleaning's policy and that I would have to speak directly to Crystal to get any further information on the claim. Needless to say, I emailed Crystal doing just that. Her reply was this: "I have followed up with selective and after speaking to the selective agent Selective looked into the claim and didn't find any basis for the claim, and will not pursue this claim." No basis for the claim? The watch was there when they arrived and gone when they left with nobody else coming in or out of my home. How is there no basis for a claim? I replied to Crystal in another email asking the following" Please provide specific details as to what investigation was done by Selective Insurance. An insurance company isn't paid to "look into" a claim; they are paid to investigate a claim. Please also provide specific details on how your company investigated this claim." That was 2 months ago...I have not gotten a reply from Crystal Cleaning to date. No investigation had been done whatsoever by the insurance company because they wouldn't even speak to me. Their policy is a joke and the company should be ashamed of themselves. This is the most unprofessional company I have dealt with. If you're looking to hire them, or if you're a current customer of theirs, happy or not, you deserve to know what can and will happen should a theft happen in your home or place of business. Lesson learned: Put valuables in a locked / hidden space. Maybe think of installing cameras in your kids bedrooms too...(obviously I would never...that's absurd!)

They have been consistently thorough in cleaning my home - and now, during the pandemic - have taken extra precautions to ensure the safety of both myself and the cleaning team (ask for Mayra - she is an excellent team leader). The service continues to be efficient, thorough, and reasonably priced. The business goes beyond the cleaning however and extends to special requests and cleaning needs. When I need to reschedule they are accomodating and professional. I can't imagine going with another professional cleaning service as I already have the best!

They quoted a better price than others I spoke to, and kept an open and honest dialogue with us throughout the process (our place was a real mess, so they called to let us know if they thought it would take longer, allowed us to set time limits, etc.).

The house looks wonderful, smells great, they were able to get stains out of the carpet and even out of the old kitchen surfaces that I thought were a lost cause.
