Your mileage may vary. A friend uses Daisy Fresh and is satisfied with them. I had a totally different experience. They are supposed to clean the whole house each visit as well as "deep clean" one room. At my friend's house, they leave a card that says what they deep cleaned. I never saw the first card. I also never heard them speak English except for an occasional "hello."
I had an animal cage that had I didn't want pushed up flush against the wall, so had two blocks of wood to keep the cage from being pushed too far back. Daisy Fresh would move the cage when cleaning (which was good), but would also move the blocks and push the cage back against the wall. After a couple of times, I taped a note on the front of the cage explaining the situation. After their next visit, the note was halfway ripped off and the cage was pushed against the wall, causing some damage. At this point I have my doubts that they could read the note.
As far as general cleaning, they did ok, certainly nothing spectacular. My roommate pointed out a dust bunny that he said had been in the same place by an entryway door for weeks.
The last straw came once when I was out of town on the day they came to clean. My phone rang and for the first 15 to 20 seconds thought it was a prank call. I couldn't understand anything and thought it was kids messing around. I was about to hang up when I heard "garage door." Then I tried listening very carefully and finally understood that it was Daisy Fresh and they were at my house to clean, but couldn't get in through the garage door because the code wasn't working. I thought perhaps my roommate was home and could let them in, so asked them if a white car was in the driveway. They said yes. So I told them that I would call my roommate and ask him to let them in. I called him and guess what??? He wasn't there, nor was his white car! He was close by though and on his way home, so I asked him to let Daisy Fresh in when he got home. He was less than a mile away and by the time he got home, Daisy Fresh was gone! He checked the garage door code, and it worked fine.
They did end up coming back later that day. The moral of the story is that if you speak Spanish, you can communicate with them. If you don't, forget it, because they cannot understand English.
A final word - they have multiple crews and my friend has noticed that some do a better job than others. I was never impressed with the work of any of the ones I got. They seemed to come from the hotel industry because they always left the outer part of the toilet tissue roll folded in a little triangle. Frankly I couldn't care less about that kind of stuff and would have much preferred that they clean my stove well! Overall, they were competent, but barely, and without the hassles, I may have stayed with them longer to see if they would improve. But the wall issue and total absence of the ability to communicate in English was too much. read more
