We had been using clearly clean services to clean our 3 bed room and 2 bathroom home, and we have been extremely pleased with the services. They do a thorough and complete job in a very efficient timeline and are pleasant and kind always and very communicative and professional. We have had Oksana and Nadia come to our home to clean and they are so kind, efficient and professional. The price is also incredibly reasonable for the quality of service!! would highly recommend their team read more

The service I requested was quick and they were pretty flexible when I booked. They take zelle or card but with card there is a convenience fee. Irene came to clean my place and she did a phenomenal job. I am moving into my new place and there is not a speck of dust anywhere. She is meticulous and I appreciate how communicative the team is. They called me when she was about 20 mins to being done. One thing I will recommend is to provide a ladder or step stool if you have tall walls. I am definitely going to recommend Irene and Clearly Clean to everyone I know! read more

Absolutely loved Clearly Cleaning the service was always top notch and my place always felt refreshed after every visit. I found the team to be extremely customer service oriented and very pleasant. Sadly I am moving out of their service area otherwise I would continue to use them. I was a proud client for 3 years I found the service to be a great value and made my life so much easier. Highly recommend! read more

AVOIDDD. i'm so exhausted with this experience. my aunt runs a cleaning service in indiana where i moved away from so wanted to support a place here, specifically eastern european (ukraine). the first time i was so excited to come home to the clean casa and was so sad, not only did a candle get left on (i turned it on for her to be nice and told her) and i have a tiny shotgun style studio apartment . it was a mess everywhere, so i have the uncomfortable convo for them to return anddd again im let down and now out $100 plus the $15 tip and had to clean it myself. i had to tell the manager what areas to have her visit and revisit that were somehow missed and again they were completely missed, i even removed everything off my tiny singular end table to make it more obvious and send him photos of everything that he said he sent to her. they told me if it's a deep clean needed they'll let me know i said sounds good. after the first he said y don't need a deep clean, so now here we are and i sent him updated photos and he's claiming "those are diff areas than before" which isn't true and also that shouldn't even be relevant as it should all be cleaned then he replied to my photo of the end table and said that's a deep cleaning for that!!! when he prior told me i didn't need that an i agreed to it if needed and it took me less than a minute to while down with windex. the cleaner was nice and it's sad this happened and sad she let me down an sad how the owner takes advantage of clients with poor results and no refunds. i'm a disabled veteran and my mobility isn't always the best so i was excited for this journey. also after the second apt and me complaining he said i should have yet againnnnn showed her the areas that still somehow were missed when that's incredible uncomfortable to do and why am i correcting a professional cleaning after two cleans in two days for a tiny apt ??avoid about avoid read more

We have been using Clearly Clean for the past few years on a fairly regular basis and we *really* wanted to like them - the women do good work, are reliable and the service is affordable. However, the company itself (+ customer service) is horrific to work with. The other reviews I've seen capture management experiences similar to what we've experienced. After more than one such experience, we decided it was no longer worth the headache. read more

Extremely disappointing. Will not use again. Customer service deserves zero stars. Management will accuse you of wrong doing, take zero accountability, and be unwilling to work with you for any resolutions. Worst customer experience we have experienced in the services industry in a long time. Here's what happened: We set an appointment for a cleaner to clean at our house earlier today. Within the first two minutes of cleaning our bathroom, she broke the bathroom mirror. When Management called us to respond to the incident, the first thing which they told us was that their company wasn't liable for the damages, and that it must be our fault that the mirror couldn't withstand a simple clean. Let me say that, over the years, we have had multiple cleaners come through, cleaning the same mirror. Never once has the mirror fallen down or broken. The mirror is not in some hard to reach position, nor is it particularly challenging to clean. Just a standard mirror in front of a sink. Yet when Chris called us to respond to the incident, he accused us of having inferior bathroom fixtures and that it must be us/our products which are faulty. Cleaning lady apologized, and we understand accidents can happen. But Management's response will give you an idea of what kind of accountability the company believes it has with property damage while in your home (zero). If you're considering this service, do yourself a favor, find another company which is managed with higher standards, and one which takes an interest in valuing you as a customer. read more

Clearly Clean Services - Broken mirror after cleaning lady was in bathroom for 2 mins, for which the manager Chris took ZERO accountability - Home Cleaning Near Me - Franklin Park, Illinois

Used Clearly Service for the first time, with Irene. She was absolutely wonderful! I just had my second baby, updated our upstairs bedroom to make it larger and needed extra help to clean. Irene went out of her way to make our home sparking clean, she went above and beyond and was so sweet. We will absolutely use Clearly again. Chris was also extremely helpful and very responsive with my questions. read more

We recently booked this company for a "move in clean" of our new apartment. They suggested 4 hours so that's what we went with. The day of the cleaning, they called to say the lady needed another hour, which we were fine with, so ended up paying $160 for 5 hours (before tip). I specified that I wanted all the kitchen cabinets/drawers cleaned, however each drawer that I opened to check had either pieces of food or dust inside - this is unacceptable. Almost all the kitchen counter tops were still dusty/had pieces of dirt on them. I asked for the windows to be cleaned but clearly the lady could only reach half way up - so she left them half clean, half dirty. They shouldn't offer a window cleaning service if they don't have the tools to allow them to do it. Called the company to complain, and the best they could do was to send the same woman again the next day. She spent an hour cleaning the few specific things I pointed out and left them marginally better than before, but the whole apartment still needed a proper cleaning job done. We booked this move-in clean to take some stress out of our move since the way I see it, it's worth it to pay professionals to do the job well. Instead, I could have absolutely done far better myself in far less time. Very frustrating experience read more

Clearly Clean has been cheering me up with their affordable - professional and thorough cleaning of my apt for 4 years. They are affordable - fast - super efficint - reliable - and minds every detail. They are also available when I need them within a few days notice. read more

I had one of the worst customer experiences with this company. Chris, the owner, clearly doesn't care much about customers, which was demonstrated throughout my experience with the company. We used Clearly Clean Services to clean our house in Lincoln Park. We found a great cleaner in their services that consistently did a good job but then we had an awful experience with the company during our move-out. We agreed to pay the extra move-out cleaning premium as well as pay for extra time and the two cleaners that came did a terrible job. I had to ask at one point for them to do the shelves in the kitchen, which I had assumed was part of a move-out clean. The premium clean also didn't include vacuuming so I ended up having to vacuum our basement. When I called the company, the woman was quite pleasant and sounded like she empathized with my situation but told me that Chris would need to contact me. I subsequently receive a call from Chris, tell him the situation and he proceeds to tell me that the clean was good and that I don't know what I'm talking about. He then berates me and demands payment (which I make). Needless to say, it was a horrendous customer experience and one that didn't need to happen if Chris wasn't so confrontational and insecure. My realtor was also amazed at the poor job the cleaners did and had to bring their cleaners into the property to do a proper job. read more

Superior Professional Service provided at my 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment yesterday!! I will definitely use them again and refer this company to friends! read more

I hired this company to clean our condo and trusted they would do a good job since I wasn't in town and couldn't be there when they finished. huge mistake! I paid for 3 hours of cleaning (this is a 1bd/1br 850sq ft condo) and it is still unclear what they did for 3 hours, because they certainly didnt clean. the bathroom sink, tub/shower, and toilet were all dirty. The refrigerator wasn't touched. My tenant was the 1st to see it and said "there is no way someone cleaned this place", then i went over to see when i was back in town and it looked awful. I took pictures of everything and called Chris to discuss. He was immediately defensive and just talked about how many happy/satisfied customers they have, and I'm sure they do, but that isnt the point. The issue is that my cleaning was horrible. I offered to send him the pictures but he said he didnt want to see them and that he wouldnt send another cleaner out and wouldnt compensate in any way. I told him if that was the case, then i would be forced to write them a bad review, to which he accused that of being "blackmail" - lol. DO NOT use this company unless you want to throw your money down the toilet. Feel free to message me if you would like me to send you the pictures of the atrocious "cleaning" they did read more

I found Clearly Clean On yelp yesterday,and they were able to come out today for a deep cleaning.Our place is absolutely spotless !The girls did an outstanding job and they were so friendly .They are great at communicating and they have listened to all my special requests.I would love having them clean my apartment on a regular basis ! Thank you for your hard work ! read more

Used this service for the first time recently. On the first visit, the lady did a fantastic job but ran out of time and didn't get to one room. No big deal. We liked the work so we asked them to come back in a couple of weeks and do the one room and use the rest of the minimum time (3hrs) to clean other rooms. The lady misunderstood our instructions and still didn't get to the original room. We were annoyed, not wanting to pay another 3 hours minimum just to get one room done. When I called to complain, they apologized and offered to send someone out to take care of the room for free! Mistakes and miscommunication happen, but the way a company handles it shows their worth. I would definitely use this service again! read more

I have been using this service for years, and never had one problem. Their teams are always on time, ladies are very detailed, place is super clean. I also recommended this company to many of my friends. What I really like is that you can call and ask for next day cleaning, which is great feature for busy families. Highly recommended. read more

We have a regular cleaning lady from Clearly Clean come to our house every two weeks. She does an Amazing job, Though she understands little English, I always call the office and have them communicate to her. We are very pleased read more

Having been fortunate enough to use a different maids service on previous occasions we were excited about having someone come to do a deep/spring cleaning of our 1 bedroom apartment. We spoke with a woman named Helena over the phone about all of the services we were hoping to have done and she suggested that 6 hours would suffice. We requested to have 2 people come so that the job could get done more quickly and she said that it wouldn't be a problem. On the day of our appointment 1 woman showed up at the time I had discussed with Helena...Not 2. I called Helena and she assured me that the other woman should be there within the hour. The second maid was an hour late. Not only was NOTHING I had discussed with Helena passed onto the maids, but there was a huge language barrier so I couldn't express to them (beyond pointing) what I would like for them to do. Again, I had to call Helena back and politely ask her to speak with the ladies about the services we had requested. As I sit here and write this I can see dusty splotches on the floor that we were missed by their shoddy vacuum and mop job, the closets are not organized as I had requested, and there are visible areas in that kitchen that were totally neglected. DON'T spend your hard earned money on this company. You will not be satisfied with the 'service' provided. Honestly, I wish I would've done it myself. :( As a business owner myself I'm not big into writing bad reviews, instead I like to discuss with the company first, but if they don't care and aren't even try to make things right that's when I write this stuff... read more

The employees are always on time, do an amazing job and love my dogs!

I live less than 3 miles from the city center east of tri-taylor and medical district and they cancelled my appointment because " they do not travel that far into the city. " They have to state on the website which neighborhoods they are willing to serve. read more

This was my first time hiring a cleaning service. My husband and I have been stressed and overworked with very little free time and decided to let a professional catch us up on our cleaning duties. We asked for a 4-hour deep clean and were mostly pleased. Yays: 1. She polished our bathroom garbage can. We would never do this. 2. She dusted my closet doors. I would *certainly* never do this. 3. She was in and out in precisely four hours. This is impressive to me, as it would take me much, much longer. She obviously has a system down. I wish I'd been there to learn a few tricks. 4. She "edged" the floors, ridding us of about a sweater's worth of cat hair. 5. She took her shoes off and wore soft-soled sandals. I appreciate this. Nays: 1. She did not do the insides of the windows, which I'm just now realizing and which I'd requested. Unfortunately, it is too late for me to do anything about this. 2. We have a sunroom which functions as a plant / utility room. This room got minimal attention. She mopped / vacuumed the floor and that's it. To be fair, it's obvious this is not a living space for us, but it would have been nice if she'd edged the floors in there as well. 3. She spoke not a word of English. I hate to be "that guy" but even a very basic vocabulary would have been helpful. My husband had to gesture at her like he was playing charades. Perhaps she's very new here and still learning. She seemed very sweet, but it would have been nice to review the plan with her as obviously there was some disconnect between what I requested and what she was told to do by her employer. It's weird having a stranger flitting about your house while you're home. I thought I'd feel all grown-up and cosmopolitan, but instead I felt apologetic and fought the urge to jump in and help her. I can't see us using this service on a regular basis. It was a nice rescue but unless we find ourselves out of time / energy again, we'll do it ourselves. read more

They are not accommodating to schedule changes and their services aren't up to par. I dont understand why they can't clean the inside of ovens well. I even left the easy off oven spray in the oven so the grease could come off better. The cleaning lady did such a poor job removing the grease and easy off remnants. Be warn, they try to chrhe you 35 dollar cancellation fee if you cancel a day before the cleaning. read more

I cannot say enough about this company! Always professional, I can get same day service many times I call and the ladies do a fabulous job on my condo! They always show up right on time, even early, and get everything clean in the time quoted. They even brought in another woman when they were worried about the time for cleaning my condo & my neighbor's. There is nothing better than coming home to a clean condo & this company delivers! read more

I have been using Clearly Clean Services for YEARS. In that time I started as a infrequent user and grew to be a regular who has someone come every two weeks. Whenever I come home on cleaning day I am always impressed by the care with which the job has been done. I do have the same person each week (and in at least 6 years there has only been one replacement due to turnover) and she has gotten to know my home and is helpful in ways that I sometimes hadn't expected. Thank you to Clearly Clean, but also to their faithful employees doing the hard work! read more

Update: Stopped using this service because some of my items were inadvertently thrown away and the owner refused to provide any compensation (or even a discount). The owner stated he is merely facilitating services of independent contractors and is not responsible for their training or actions. read more

Multiple incidents of damage to bathroom tile and rugs. Owner very rude and unapologetic. Terrible customer service. Some cleaners are very thorough and polite, others do not do a good job and are unbelievably rude. Do not use this service! read more

Clearly Clean Services provide superior cleaning service and awesome customer service every time I use. I use service multiple times per year for tenant move out, new construction and for my person residence. I just had a tenant move out and needed the unit turned over immediately. Tenants left the unit absolutely filthy. Cleary Clean service staff arrived early and transformed the unit, leaving the entire unit spotless. They tackled the filthy greasy kitchen appliances and cabinets and disgustingly dirty bathroom and mildew tile. I requested extra service to do all unit baseboards, windows and window sills! Fantastic reliable service. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I had used Clearly Clean several times and was happy with the work. Then a couple weeks ago after their last visit, we came home to unmopped floors and a huge scratch in our wood kitchen table. Our cleaning products had been placed over the scratch in an apparent attempt to cover it up. I called, they said the manager Chris said he would come with the cleaning lady to check it out the next day. Chris called the next day and said they couldn't come until Monday. Fine. The cleaning lady showed up on Monday, no Chris. She took pictures and left. Almost two weeks goes by and I haven't heard anything, so I send an email through their system asking someone to please call me. Chris calls me and says he "cannot understand how a cleaning lady could scratch the table." He's also claiming he spoke to my husband who told him "the cleaning supplies were on the counter, not the table." One, he never talked to my husband. Two, the bottom line is the cleaning lady was the only person in the apartment the entire day. The scratch was not there when we left in the morning, and was there when we got home. I understand that mistakes happen. What I cannot believe is that a business would so blatantly deny responsibility for their actions, all I asked was that they make it right. They offered no solution, not even an offer of apology. With so many cleaning services in the Chicago area, I would highly recommend avoiding the risk of working with a company with such disregard for customer service. read more

I have recommended them to a few clients for move out or pre-listing cleanings. They cleaned one of our listings on Monday. After a lot of difficulty scheduling (and the woman was 25 minutes late), they cleaned for "6 hours" and then expressed they would need additional money (more than quoted) to finish the job. I find this completely unacceptable. They also told us we should "not call them again". I don't think this is any way to run a business, but I would suggest you call elsewhere also. read more

Avoid. They ruined our carpeting not once, or twice...but three times. How stupid are we for rebooking them? About $1000.00 stupid. I told my wife not to hire them again...but after the third time,and a gaping hole in our carpet...she called them without resolution. Poor quality to start and damaging the house is unacceptable. Avoid. read more

We've used Clearly Clean now for several years. They always do an excellent job and the price can't be beat. Highly recommended.

DO NOT USE CLEARLY CLEAN SERVICES. ZERO STARS My neighbors and I are disgusted with the unprofessional management and careless cleaning workers. This company NEVER follows instructions and has caused problems many times. They are a waste of money! There are MANY other cleaning companies in Chicago that would do a better job. read more

Clearly Clean is amazing and they do amazing work. Always punctual, always clean. It's so nice to come home to shiny floors, neatly-stacked books and magazines, and a fresh scent of humidity in the air. Highly recommended! read more

I have been using Clearly Clean for over a year. They used to come twice a month but now come less frequently only because I'm trying to save some money. They always do a great job! Because I don't have a regularly scheduled time and just call a day ahead, they send different cleaning ladies each time but every one of them has always been great! I'd definitely recommend their services! read more

Professional with a capital P. I've been using Clearly Clean Services for 3 HOUSES and 15 YEARS. I'm a single working mom (self proclaimed high maintenance person) with a busy and varied schedule, specific needs, and a difficult dog. They have been more than respectful, flexible and accommodating to my ever changing needs over the years. Easy to communicate with and willing to go out of their way to be helpful as I often need my refrigerator cleaned, an unusual task done, the laundry complete, sheets changed and big loads of wash knocked out after trips and summer camp. They are always thorough to the point of surprise. And I'm so grateful because after a long day at work, coming home to a meticulously cleaned home is such a relief. They even let my dog out when necessary. Oh, and I can still come home to a clean house even when there are other projects going on. They always clean around the other activities. Thank you! read more

We used their services for a year. They always did a good job, until last week, when the lady totally didn't clean the floor of our 2 bathrooms!! We called to complain a few days later, and were told that because we didn't call within 24 hours, there was nothing they could do -- neither send someone again, or give us a discount for next time. Given that we had NEVER complained before, and we were regular clients, we thought their attitude was unwarranted. So, bye bye Clearly Clean! We're never using you again. read more

Surprised by all these negative reviews - our experience has been fantastic. We have a 5 hour cleaning set up every two weeks and they do a great job every time. You can tell that they really value being thorough and leaving the home looking tidy as well as clean. We used two other cleaning services before finding Clearly Clean, and they are the best. The big national chains pay a low hourly wage and keep the bulk of what you pay, and you can tell, because the cleaners just don't care that much. It makes a big difference to use a smaller service with better paid workers. Plus the lady who comes loves my dog, so I feel safe leaving the house. Really happy to have found them. read more

This was our first time using Clearly Clean and I came home today *very* pleasantly surprised. I was so happy with it that I decided to write my first Yelp review - Yep! That good. I expected a satisfactory surface cleaning but our cleaners were very diligent with the small details as well. I was was particularly blown away by the bathroom and kitchen. Not only did they clean the toilet and bathroom surfaces, they also cleared the 12 bottles of shower stuff I have on the ledge, and cleaned the entire area for mildew. All the hard water on my shower doors - gone. In the kitchen, they cleared everything we had in the sink and made it sparkle like I've never seen before. They even washed the pot I had made fondue in, which was so cemented on with cheese, I had scrubbed and soaked it for 3 days with no luck. The pot was immaculate and neatly stacked on the rest of our dishes when I came home. That itself was worth the money. Great experience and we will definitely be using them again. I highly recommend their services if you're looking for a quick, efficient clean at a reasonable price. read more

Ok. I'm back because they are convenient and can send someone on short notice. I have found if I am EXPLICIT as *heck* about making sure they really clean the floors (instead of wet dusting them with a moist rag jammed in my swiffer), then this service is pretty good. read more

Chris' reply to my review is a complete lie. I was NOT offered to have Natalia sent back to fix the areas I raised issue with. He simply justified her payment because she was present for 3 hours. Thanks, but I did not pay for someone to babysit my apartment. read more

I live in the Andersonville neighborhood and own a six flat in Wrigleyville. I have used Clearly Clean for 5 years to do the following: clean the common areas of my six flat every two weeks, do 2-3 deep cleanings (for new tenants) a year, and occasional odd cleanings in my home in Andersonville. I really have enjoyed working with them over the years. Nice, responsible cleaning personnel. Always on time. Reasonable prices. Having professional resources like Clearly Clean to support me as a landlord is critical. Thank you Clearly Clean! read more
