DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT HIRE AMY'S CLEAN TEAM!…read more
After the initial walkthrough of my home, Amy quoted me $400 for a deep clean ($500 if they removed my son's knickknacks from dresser/shelves) & $175 for a basic clean every 2-3 weeks. I communicated that I wanted a deep clean to start & would then decide whether I wanted to continue with services.
I left my home in a relatively tidy condition so the cleaners could focus their time on actually deep cleaning. I did mention to them that the bathroom was the dirtiest room in the house. Unfortunately, it felt as though they looked at my home & decided it was "good enough" rather than putting in the effort & attention expected of a professional deep clean.
The bathroom was NOT cleaned at all. The shower walls & floors were still dirty, soap scum on the glass doors & water stains on shower trim, dirty around the toilet bowl, toiletries that had not been wiped down or cleaned, dirty sink, hair on the walls & floor, dust underneath the sink cabinet, floors & baseboards that had not been wiped down. See pics for reference, I had close to 50 pics of all areas left uncleaned but could only upload 20.
Unfortunately, entire areas throughout my home were also left untouched, including the baseboards, fans, bookshelves, back of lamps, underneath the bed & the kitchen, dining room & living room floors not mopped. The entire house was left feeling almost exactly as I had left it, tidy, NOT deep cleaned.
When I expressed my disappointment, Amy's initial response was "Really?" The following day, the focus shifted to the fact that 3 cleaners had supposedly worked "hard" for 3.5 hours, when they had actually had been there for only 3 hours. I understand they spent several hours in my home, but time spent does not equal quality of work. I thought I was going to pay for a thorough, professional deep clean & expected the level of quality that comes with that service. Unfortunately, I received neither the quality nor the results.
Amy offered to resolve the situation by asking whether I was looking for a "discount." To be clear, I was not asking for any "discount" at all & to think that I wanted to "pay less" for half butt work. Given the condition my home was left in & the quality of the work performed by the general manager, Kerstyn & the two other cleaners, I believe this cleaning should have been offered completely FREE. Instead, Amy stood by her negligent cleaning crew & "apologized that they didn't meet my standards." Wow.
Despite this, I voluntarily agreed to pay $175, the amount originally quoted for a basic cleaning, even though the service provided was far from what I would consider a basic cleaning. I did this in good faith rather than refusing payment altogether.
Unfortunately, once Amy received payment, she ended communication. There was no meaningful follow up, accountability or genuine effort to address my concerns, even after texting her 2 days after everything saying "Hey Amy, please give me a call. I was actually expecting a call from you yesterday so we could talk. I've come across so much more uncleaned areas in my home that you need to be aware of. Please do the right thing & call me back."
After being quoted $400 for a deep clean & having what felt like the bare minimum actually done, how could I not feel taken advantage of? I thought I was going to pay for a professional deep cleaning, yet significant areas of my home were left untouched. Whether intentional or not, the experience left me feeling like I had paid for a service I simply did not receive... & ultimately, I feel scammed.
DO BETTER AMY!!
