Just wanted to give a well earned five stars to Ms. Rachel as she was exceptionally thorough and victorious at "the battle of the Oakland move-in". I called Ms. Rachel a week before to let her know I was searching for service and to do a quick run-down by phone. She was receptive, listened carefully and understood that we wanted a thorough steam cleaning of the kitchen and bathroom areas with little to no chemicals used. She was friendly and professional and my husband and I could really respect her "show-up" attitude. While I knew it wouldn't be a 1-2-3 job, I hadn't a clue how much work would be needed. Ms. Rachel came out for an estimate and did the work the same day. For what was (really) needed, it was a more than reasonable cost and I wished we were in a position to pay more because she came in, rolled up her sleeves and got to work. I mean, none of that fake wipe and go cleaning service. Good old fashioned steam, soap and water cleaning that we could trust. The place smelled so fresh and she even pointed out the problem areas in our new home; so we could get to those 'before' we moved in. We were so tired from cleaning and packing up the current location we just didn't have it in us to do all of the cleaning in the new place too. All in all, it was a good experience and I would hire Ms. Rachel again in a heart beat! Thank you so much Ms. Rachel; we appreciate you! read more

She offers professional cleaning services. She is through, reliable and honest. She is also has great organizational skills She has cleaned for me for over 10 years read more

Rachel is an incredibly hard working person. I hired her to do a move-in cleaning as there was a lot of Sheetrock dust left from the remodel on our new house along with all the other dirt that goes with remodeling. She got into every nook and cranny, every corner, ledge, edge, vent, drawer, cabinet, you name it, she cleaned it, vacuumed it and mopped it. Floor to ceiling. She worked her butt off for 13 hours straight. The place looks immaculate. Hey, I was in the Army, believe me, I know clean. This place is "squared away" as the saying goes. Really impressed with her work ethic. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her service. And to those d bags that gave her a bad review, you just sound like cheapskates! WORTH EVERY PENNY! Thank you Rachel!!! read more

Conscientious Cleaners - Home Cleaning Near Me

See all

We hired Rachel to do our move in cleaning in the home we just bought. It's very overdue for a deep cleaning and because it's our first home, we are especially excited about everything and we wanted it to be done well. We feel like we lucked out getting Rachel. She uses really gentle eco-friendly cleaning products and thoroughly scrubs every surface clean. She is such a hard worker that my partner and I have both been a bit dumbfounded by her strength and stamina. Having done our own move out cleaning days ago, we are pretty sure she single-handedly got as much done in a day as the two of us did working together. She also has a direct, clear communication style that has put us at quickly at ease--lovely person. Highly recommend her! read more

Conscientious Cleaners - Sudsing up our counters. Thorough scrub everywhere: walls floor to ceiling, rafters, light fixtures removed and cleaned, behind fridge, etc. - Home Cleaning Near Me

Cleanest it's ever been! Our tenants hired Rachel to do a move-out cleaning of a 1350sq. ft Victorian apartment in San Francisco that we rent out. Rachel thoroughly cleaned every inch of the apartment... walls, floors, baseboards, light fixtures, cabinets inside & out, appliances, etc. The place just shined when she was through. She is very conscientous and uses safe natural cleaning supplies and all new sponges and mops for each job. As the landlord we are super happy with how clean the place and it made it show really well to new prospective tenants. read more

Very disappointing experience. I called just to inquire about a price range for a monthly cleaning of my 1-bedroom. For some reason, house cleaners are harder to pin down for an estimate than car salesman, and require that they come and view your place before they even give you a ballpark figure. This woman - Rachel - turns up at my place, and after looking around she asks what I am looking for. I say, "not much, just wondering what it would cost for a monthly pickup - floor, dusting, bathroom. The place is tiny, and never really gets that dirty to begin with, but I work a lot and thought this might be worth doing." Instead of giving me a number - any number - she asks me what I think I should pay. I stand there awkwardly for a moment, and then give her my ideal monthly price. I figure it's low... but my place is small enough to clean myself. As I said to her several times: I was just investigating this as a possibility. So... I give her my ideal number, and she busts out laughing! A nice, long, hearty laugh right in my face. She might even have wiped away a tear. This woman who I have just met is standing in my apartment, laughing in my face. I feel like an idiot. She says, "Well you'll have to get someone else to do it for that price." I reply, "Well, you asked me what I would like to pay. This whole exercise is to find out what you charge for your service - will you please tell me that now?" She eventually gives me her rate, and it's about 20% higher than the other quotes I had gotten. So, even if she hadn't been totally rude and shown about as much customer service sense as a six-year-old, I wouldn't have used her overpriced service. There's better out there - save yourself the cash and hassle and go find someone else. read more

Rachel is fabulous. I will definitely be using her again and again. My life is busy. And, I like my house clean. I have enough time for tidying, and doing a surface clean, but there's a kind of cleaning that requires you to devote several hours to a project. And, frankly, I'd rather spend that time with my kids, or my spouse, or growing my business. After a few years of this kind of surface cleaning - well, the house was kind-of grossing me out. I have hired cleaning services before only to find that they did some really good tidying and surface cleaning. Not terrible, but not what I need. So - I bit the dollar bullet and hired Rachel. Yes. She is more expensive than most, but only because she insists on spending more time. Her hourly fee is very low. My house is incredibly clean. I mean - the fan blades, the filters in the hood above the stove, behind everything, under everything - deep deep clean. It feels like I just moved into a brand new apartment. And, I didn't make the list of things for her to clean. She made her own list, and cleaned so much better than I could have - even if I had the same amount of time. If what you need is someone to come and tidy - yes, you an get the job done in less time. But, what I've come to realize is that I wasn't looking for a person who can vacuum and rearrange our trinkets. I was looking for a refreshing clean that makes me feel great about coming home. That's what Rachel does. read more

I needed a deep clean for our 1 bed 1.5bath apt because my parents are coming in to town this weekend. With a judgmental mom, I needed someone to go crazy with the cleaning. Rachel couldn't give me a quote over the phone, but took a look at the place and said it would be $200. I took the chance on her and I am SO thrilled that I did. She actually stayed from 8am to 8pm and busted her tail to get my place organized, dust and shower grime free. I trust her and would recommend her to my friends read more

I had read the one negative view of Rachel but spoke to her on the phone and she sounded nice, so I had her over for a short walk-through and estimate, and knew right away that she was the right choice for cleaning my super dusty/ dingy little house. I'm so glad I found Rachel! I don't think I've ever lived in a place that is as clean as my house now is. She worked for nearly 12 hours straight, too, and towards the end we chatted a bit and I really enjoyed her positive attitude and boldness (she moved here from Belize and is making it on her own, working while raising a daughter!) If there were any slight areas for improvement I would say that you should ask her first if you need anything already at your house-- for instance, rags, paper towels, etc. Rachel uses her own cleaning supplies but was surprised when I didn't have paper towels and had to have someone bring her some for the day. But that was a minor blip. Highly recommended! read more

Today was the first time I've used Rachel's cleaning service. This is a decent sized house -3.5 bedrooms (one is tiny) + 2.5 baths and every room was seriously dirty. Rachel and her helper did an extraordinary job of deep cleaning this house today. They worked intensely for 12 solid hours each, yet were thoroughly professional and quite pleasant to interact with at all times. Rachel's price wasn't cheap but it was totally fair. And at the end I feel I got far more than just a clean house. I got a house that had been cleaned with love and respect by people who take great pride in doing outstanding work. I'm honored to recommend Rache's service without any qualifications or hesitation. She is awesome. I definitely plan to use her service again. (And I want to confirm that I have no conflicts of interest here that might color my perspective. I received no discount or compensation whatsoever for giving this recommendation. I know Rachel solely from this single professional interaction.) read more

Real talk -- Rachel is incredible. She did a deep clean of our new apartment and was next level thorough. The place was super dirty and needed a lot of work. Now everything is sparkly and fresh!!!! Considering the amount of work she did, her rate was incredibly reasonable. A true badass and a true professional. Hire her!!!!! read more

I wrote this review earlier this year and just wanted to update it to say that I am so happy with my relationship with Conscientious Cleaners. Rachel is always on time, and when she shows up she chats with me for a few minutes and then just digs in. Our house has a lot of woodwork in it and she is able to get into all the molding to get out all the dust. The cleaning solutions she uses are green and do a great job of keeping the wood dust free too! Usually when I dust, it seems like I just push it around. Rachel moves the furniture to clean under it, which also keeps the house dust free longer. She doesn't stop for breaks, she doesn't stop to chat on the phone, she works steadily. Rachel is easily the hardest worker I know and again I am so happy that she has time to come by! The rates are excellent and the feeling of a clean house (a really clean house) is priceless. I highly recommend Conscientious Cleaners! read more

Rachel was amazing. I just purchased a new residence (loft) in Oakland. This place hadn't been lived in for over a year. While nothing major, there was dust, dirt, and a layer of grime everywhere. Rachel worked the ENTIRE DAY cleaning. She was easy to work with - a quick call to talk though logistics of meeting a few days out. The clean itself - met her at the building, let her in, showed her around and left to work for the day. She was entirely self sufficient with excellent communication throughout the day. The overall clean time went over by a little bit - this was not an issue, on a move-in clean this is OK. Overall, highly recommend working with Rachel. read more

Definitely recommend Rachel for move-out or other types of cleaning! She is so patient and careful, and she enjoys her work! The house managers in our apartment were so strict but Rachel really did a great job. Don't hesitate to hire her! read more

Rachel is in my house right now, shirt sleeves rolled up and wiping the white off of rice if you dig. She is extremely professional, uses green products, and the areas she has already cleaned are sparkling....who knew I had bling? Thank you Rachel for revealing the light! The best part about Rachel is she is so friendly. She comes with my highest recommendation. No nonsense. read more

Hooray for Rachel: Number 1!!! She rocks. The entire house feels different ... in a good way. I only hesitate to write this review for fear that she get too busy for us, but we'll just have to book her in advance before she becomes untouchable. She deserves all the 5-star reviews she gets. Cleaner than anyone else we've had. Period. The rooms feel bigger. Better. She's just fantastic. Punctual. Brings high-end cleaning products. Never has the house been more clean. I can't say enough good things about her. Certainly having her again so that we can continue to experience that OMG feeling. read more

Rachel came to clean my 450 sq foot apartment for a good price considering it had been 6 months since the last professional had been there. She arrived at 9 and left at 7. I was impressed by much of her efforts (windows, oven, floors). I was not exactly happy by the ongoing price estimate being identical to the deep clean price but admit that it's hard to find decent people who can do this job. I too saw a few things that were missed or overlooked due to priority. The only real con was having someone still there when I got home; I never question whether the cleaners actually work the entire time at your place but given the size of my place 9a-7p seemed a bit long. I will call Rachel again. She was quite lovely. read more

Look no further. I also found Rachel through Yelp. She came the very next day and did a move-in cleaning for me. She went to work on that dirt and has the place looking like a hotel. She needed to see the place to do an estimate, and her rate was really reasonable. She was there from about 9-5! Our family's long-time carpet cleaning guy came by and I overheard him complimenting her on how she was the real deal. Rachel just seems like an overall honest, hard-working woman, and I always respect that. So thankful to have found her! I told her I would be happy to write another positive review and keep her in business. I'm sure I'll be calling her again. read more

Rachel was great because she was able to come to my house the day after I called her and do the estimate and cleaning at the same time. She did a wonderful job and the house was spotless. The cost was a little above what I usually pay for cleaning, but was worth it because she was able to come so quickly. I would definitely recommend her! read more

I had the worst day yesterday. I worked an extra long day and I was also feeling under the weather. I trudged home, and the second I opened the door, I felt a million times better. The house was perfect. It smelled wonderful and everything looked pristine. I should add that things were organized in a way that made way more sense. I instantly felt like a new woman. And I owe it all to Rachel. read more

Rachel is awesome. She is the most thorough cleaner I have ever come across. Even my mom said so--and she's a neat freak! Rachel will wash, scrub, and dust every inch of your place. It will be spotless. You will be able to eat on any surface (you weirdo!). Seriously, Rachel is worth every penny. She cleans the inside of my fridge, my oven, and my microwave. I didn't even know my oven could be that clean! I have never found a speck of hair or dust after Rachel is finished. Her work is flawless. She is also a super nice person and great to be around. read more

Rachel is the best. Hands down. Hard working. Thorough. And really nice. It you get to work with her, count yourself lucky:)

I was so disappointed with the entire experience. I had an appointment set for 8am on a Friday . We were selling our condo and needed the bathroom and kitchen cleaned. We had just painted a layer of fresh paint, new flooring, and new base board. The place was empty and clean but the kitchen and bathroom needed cleaning. Our condo is a 1BD/1BATH and the bathroom is a half bath with a small sink and our kitchen is small. The entire condo is 600 sq.ft with the majority of that space used in the loving room and bedroom. The bad experience started with Rachel being 45 minutes late. This would have bothered me as much if I still lived in our condo but I commuted there and got there on time. When she arrived late, she had nothing to say about it.(Which is fine, whatever, I got over it!) When she came in to inspect the condo, I showed her what I wanted clean... the bathroom, the kitchen, and asked if she would remove the paint specks on our new floors(I had already removed some, they just scratch off). When I asked about the paint specks, she replied with "I don't do that". (Okay, I guess I'll do it myself-- I thought you cleaned homes?!?!-- Whatever, I can live with doing that myself) Then after a poor inspection, she quoted me way more then the other quotes I had gotten previously. I had gotten my last apartment cleaned for $80 less and the place was bigger! After I discussing the price(which I hate doing and usually never negotiate but since she was late and I would have to finish cleaning after she left--- Why should I pay more then most cleaning services). She said that "This is an inconvenience for you and an inconvenience for me. WAIT?! HUH?! ----- An inconvenience for you? I'm giving you my business and money. I just wasn't having it after that. I have never had such poor service from ANY service company. Rachel is unprofessional and just straight up rude. I ended up cleaning the whole place by myself because we had an open house the next day. DO NOT USE HER SERVICES--- unless you want to waste your time & energy. Hope this helps someone. read more

Rachel came to our home to do a deep cleaning. She arrived nice and early with her daughter and a friend and the three of them cleaned throughout the day for 11.5 hours. It was insane. It all seemed really thorough at the time, but I have to say, there were numerous areas that were missed or forgotten when we inspected the next day, including a couple of closets, window sills, kitchen cubbard doors, etc. I think Rachel's team did an overall decent job, however, I would not call it sparkly perfect and therefore not worthy of 5 stars. For $380, a rather steep rate even for a deep cleaning, I would certainly expect everything to be scrubbed down shiny and pristine. read more

I booked Rachel after seeing all the great reviews about her on Yelp. We purchased an investment property where the previous occupants were so dirty that a pigsty would be a sparkling clean palace in comparison. Rachel gave us a quote of a $1000 for deep cleaning of the 4 bedroom, 2 baths empty house. To give you an understanding of what she was dealing with, I can say that all the walls were dirty, windows, floor, ceiling, built-in closets, an absolutely filthy kitchen with fat-dripping opening where the exhaust hood used to be, the doors - everything was filthy-dirty-disgusting. Rachel spent 3.5 days cleaning it alone and did a good job. She was thorough, scrubbing and cleaning from the morning to the evening. Rachel is an immigrant from Belize. She is straightforward, no b/s person. To finish up the job she had to cancel another customer. She is a woman working alone, so you have to book with an understanding that changes may happen and there will be no one to replace her to clean your house if she is unable to make it. read more

Rachel just did a full cleaning of a newly purchased house. Let me tell you, this place is big (2,300 square feet), with high ceilings, over 100 years old, and man was it dirty. Rachel worked non-stop to get everything done in two days. She did a great job, taking care to cover all the details, and was extremely good-natured throughout the entire time. The price she quoted me was more than reasonable, and in the end I was so impressed with how hard she worked that I ended up paying her extra. I've already recommended her to my friends, and I fully intend to bring her back in the future when necessary. read more

When I searched for home cleaning on Yelp, I used the keyword "anal" and I'm shocked Rachel didn't pop up immediately! She and her daughter deep cleaned our apartment on a Sunday with very little notice. Simply put, Rachel is a powerhouse. She is very attentive to details (like windowsills, cabinet doors, light switches, baseboards, etc.). Our apartment is 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and her price was only $180. I thought that was very reasonable. She spent 8+ hours in our home. The only thing I was sad about is that I won't be able to re-hire her because she's very allergic to dogs and cats. Rachel won't be able to clean your home if you have pets, which sucks because we're the ones who need it the most! Anyway, Rachel has made this anal retentive person very happy. read more

Rachel did a deep clean of my apartment for a move-in, move-out. I have NEVER seen anything like it. Every single inch of the apartment was sparkling. The cleaning was particularly tricky because I rented my apartment out furnished. Rachel got every particle of dust out of the place - from the ceiling to the floor. The appliances were like new. Rachel -- thank you!!! read more

This cleaning service is top notch. I'm 9 months pregnant and expecting a baby any day. My husband and I wanted our house to be clean for the upcoming wonderful chaos. Rachel treated us to a DEEP cleaning. Our place sparkles and looks amazing. She went above and beyond and is a God send. Book her to clean your home. You will be very happy. read more

Rachel gave our place a deep clean last week, and she did an amazing job. She takes the time to really make everything spotless, and you get to come home to a house that looks like a million bucks. My 5 year old toaster oven looks brand new like i just bought it. Seriously. Aside from doing a great job, she is really nice, and an easy person to have in your home. read more

OMG! Hire this woman. My story is not important, Rahel's is. Let's just say I have a 1bdrm 1 bath apt that needed a deep clean. Rachel went above and beyond! Every piece of furniture and knick knack... was moved and cleaned, from top to bottom and under. She did not miss a spot or space and my home looks like a show place. My house was not dirty but when every inch has been cleaned there is a sence of pride that is rekindled. I highly recommend her. Be prepared that since she does such a through job it will take time but she will not stop until every inch is clean!!! read more

Rachel is amazing...I don't ever write Yelp reviews but I thought I would take a moment to pass on the word. Rachel made my house very clean and it really needed it. She quoted me at a price that was more than I expected. But truthfully, it was totally worth it AND she was here for 8 hours, which I felt bad about. I would totally hire her again for a one time cleaning or for regular cleanings. If you want to come home to an impeccably clean orange-y smelling home, she's your gal! Oh make sure to have an old-school mop. read more

I wanted to write and express my deep appreciation for the women who did a deep clean of my home in Alameda .The service was outstanding, exceptional, reliable, dependable, and extremely professional. Thank you Rachel. read more

Rachel and her daughter Hannah are absolutely fabulous! I looked her up on yelp and I am thrilled that I did. She is so attentive and a complete professional. Not to mention incredibly reasonable. My apartment looks amazing. I have never seen it so clean. I am definitely going to have Rachel clean my house again. She is absolutely amazing. read more

Rachel did an amazing job cleaning my apartment when I moved out. I booked it last minute and she was very accommodating. She cleaned every inch of the apartment even the ceiling and was very nice and thorough. Her price is reasonable and it's definitely worth it! read more

It's 6pm and Rachel has been in my apartment since 9am sharp, scrubbing every little corner until it sparkles. I don't know how she does it! She moved all of my furniture back to get at the dirt and dust underneath, and moved it all back perfectly into place. And she isn't just wiping away the surface dirt, she's scrubbing away years of rust and grime in my kitchen, bathrooms and floors. We have a problem with mold in the second bathroom, and she did extra deep cleaning in there to make sure it wasn't just clean for the short-term, but stayed that way. She doesn't make a mess or use too many chemicals/towels, just hard work. Instead of hiring a big cleaning company, chose Rachel! Not only is she friendly and hard-working, her rates are much lower as well. I hired her because of all the yelp reviews saying she was meticulous, thorough and professional....and she really is all that. DEFINITELY 5 stars (and she's STILL scrubbing!) read more

We hired Rachel for a much needed house cleaning. We had family members coming, and the house had not been truly "done" since I bought it, eighteen years ago. My husband is German, and beyond particular. He was very skeptical about Rachel, how much she charged, and whether she would be up to snuff. Even he had to admit that she worked much harder and for longer than he EVER would. She put in four ten hour days, and cleaned, scrubbed, dusted, wiped every single horizontal and vertical surface. There wasn't an inch of the house that wasn't sparkling and cleaned of years of accumulated grease and grime. My stove hasn't looked this good since I bought it. Yes, she was expensive-- $800 for the four days it actually took her. But she thought she would be finished in three, it was worth every penny of it. Even my money-tight German husband had to agree that she earned it. On top of all of that, she is a nice person. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Rachel is one hard working lady! She is no nonsense, and that's how I like it. I'm a busy mom, and never seem to find the time lately to get to the DEEP cleaning. I've never hired a cleaner before, but it was worth every penny! "This whole place is shining!!!" That's a quote from a visitor shortly after Rachel worked her magic. We had some nice conversations too, she really is a lovely person. Please consider giving your business to someone who truly deserves the work and does a stellar job. Thank you for the fresh start, Rachel! read more

I was in a bind to get my new house cleaned quick before we moved in and found Rachel on Yelp based on all of her stellar reviews. She is nothing short of amazing. Rachel responded right way and even came over on her day off to do the estimate. Rachel is incredible and spend 2 long days making our new home sparkling clean (I swear, I could eat off the floor!). Her rate is very reasonable (considering the amount of work she put in!) and she is indeed incredibly conscientious. We will definitely reach out to her for our next deep cleaning. Rachel's work is top-notch! Thank you so much Rachel!! read more
