They were efficient in their cleaning and tackled more than I expected: cleaning the stove grates, inside the oven, inside kitchen cabinets, dining room light fixture, and even some of the waist level trim in our dining room. Some fine detailing (base trims, electrical outlets, walls) were not done, but that is something i would categorized as a deep clean so that was fine by me. Halfway through (when they were done with the finished basement) they asked me to inspect their work and to tell them if they missed anything. I really appreciated that offer! I commented on a couple of things and they were happy to address them. I definitely think I'll use their service again! Great value for great work. Note: Alejandro (the point of contact) is super responsive and friendly.

UPDATE: BEWARE OF FAKE REVIEWS! I submitted the same review on Google and it lasted less than 24…read morehours before it disappeared! Before I submitted my Google review, there were only 3 Google reviews for this business. After I submitted my one-star review, within 24 hours, another 9 five-star reviews were submitted, and my review disappeared. Highly suspicious!!!!!! USE THEM WITH CAUTION! If you express any dissatisfaction about their service, they have an attorney and might threaten to sue you!!! Timeline : Prior to the cleaning: Daria: The estimate for the move-in/move-out cleaning for your apartment is two cleaners for 2.5 to 3 hours. Day 1 of the cleaning: The cleaners came in at 1:10 pm (appointment was 1:00 pm). I opened the door for them and left for work. After cleaning started: Daria: The girls looked at the apartment, and decided 2 hours was not enough. They would need the full 3 hours. Before 4:00 pm: Daria: The girls said the apartment was in bad shape so the would not be able to finish today, and they need to leave at 4 so if you want them to finish the cleaning, they will have to come back and cleaning it for another 1 to 1.5 hours. Me: What are left? Daria: The kitchen and the floors. After 4:00 pm: Daira: I know you are confused about the extra hours. We are not trying to keep adding hours so we can charge more, but your apartment is in really bad shape and we want to have the job done. Me: What if they still don't finish after adding 1.5 hours? Daira: They will work until they finish even if they exceed 1.5 hours. Me: Will I be charge for even more hours beyond the 1.5 hours? Daira: No. Therefore I scheduled the extra hours with Daria for the next day. In the evening: I visited the apartment and found a few things that are not clean that are supposed to be cleaned according Daria, including the bathrooms and the closets. I texted Daria about those. Day 2 of cleaning: The cleaners came at 8:10 am (appointment was 7:30 am. Daria called at 7:30 am and told me they would be there at 8:00 am). I opened the door for them and left. Daria came to the apartment at 9 am and I showed her the things that have been cleaned by them but are not clean to my eyes. In the evening: I visited the apartment again, and found the things that I showed to Daria are still not clean. In addition to that, the kitchen cabinet doors are still greasy and full of oil drops. The microwave and the oven are still completely dirty. Afterwards: Daria: Have you received the invoice? Me: Yes. But the apartment is still not clean especially the kitchen. You mentioned your team would do the job until my satisfaction. (Note that at this point I HAVE NEVER MENTIONED THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO PAY HER.) Daria: My attorney will be contacting you soon. I will be sending you a demanding letter. I will be disclosing the pictures of the apartment before and after cleaning. Me: I never said you didn't cleaning the apartment. I said your cleaning was not to my satisfaction as you promised. Daria: The microwave and cabinets are still greasy because they didn't have enough time to do the proper job! (My comment: remember that Daria promised that she would not charge more beyond another 1.5 hours if they had to take even more time to finish the job.) End of timeline. My thoughts: 1. I was fooled by all the 5-star reviews here. I did see some reviewer-posted pictures showing stuff being dirty, but there's no review associated with them. It was strange to me but I didn't think too much about it. Now thinking back, maybe the review associated with those pictures is really bad and was magically removed. 2. I never said to Daria I was not going to pay her. I just mentioned that she should keep her promise and finish the job. That triggered her having her attorney to demand the payment from me. 3. Who would have an attorney at hand that's always ready to deal with clients that are not willing to pay in time? I can only imagine how many unhappy customers they got! I believe that says something about the quality of their service. 4. I used a cleaning service not because I'm rich or too lazy. I'm neither. I used a cleaning service because I believed they were professional and would clean the apartment better than I would myself, and so I could have a nice and clean home when I moved in. I was wrong. I found that for the things that they didn't clean properly, I could easily clean them after my own experiments. The attached photos were taken after their cleaning, and show that lots of dirty things they left behind could even be wiped off with wet paper towels. 5. I understand cleaning service is a tough and underpaid job because I'm working class myself. That's why it was never my intention not to pay her. 6. If you just need regular house hold cleaning, please ignore this review because I haven't used them for that. They are probably fine for that according to other reviews.

Even into her early nineties, while taking care of our dad, she cooked, even though she herself wasn't well. Towards the end as her energy waned, her cooking never suffered but the cleaning did. When she passed away, we knew we'd have to host condolence callers and family. With so many other tasks to tackle following Mom's death, my sister and I knew we'd need help with the house. Best Friends Cleaning came to our rescue, fastidiously cleaning not just Mom's beloved much-used kitchen, but the living room, dining room, and a bathroom and family room on a lower level. The crew was friendly, pleasant, prompt, and worked the entire time they were at the house. And boy, do those ladies know how to clean! In just a little over two hours, the place was sparkling. And, by the way, theirs was the lowest bid. Highly recommend!

I've used quite a few cleaning services in Chicago, including Sincerely the Maids and Ana's, which…read moreeach have four star ratings on yelp, and Maid for You beats them by a long shot. While other companies will sometimes be stellar, Maid for You has been completely consistent everytime, and the prices are totally reasonable. Their price is flat: $20/hour per person. So the other reviewer who said that Veronica told him the price is the same whether you have one or two people misunderstood her - the overall rate per hour per person is the same, but you don't pay the same for one person as you'd pay for two. And seriously, he was expecting two people for three and a half hours for $65? So a total of 6 and a half hour of labor for $65? When you consider how much goes to the company itself and insurance and what not, you're left with slave wages for the cleaners. Apparently Veronica felt she was perfectly justified charging her normally low prices instead of slave prices - good for her. Every time I've used them, everything was left gleaming and fresh, without that heavy cleaner smell. They even organized my things so everything made more sense. Best cleaning service value I've found in the city.

I…read moreoriginally thought I was going to go with another service but they didn't come out on weekends and I needed someone soon but was also not available during the week. Agnes replied late but was the lowest quote and also could come out on the upcoming Saturday morning so I booked her. My schedule actually freed up and I asked her to come out on Wednesday evening at 6 pm and she agreed. Just mentioning this back story to let you know she's very flexible in her scheduling. But enough of the back story. She came out and looked at my condo which needed a lot of cleaning since the last renter left it pretty dirty and I needed it thoroughly cleaned for the next renter to move in. The insides of the oven had burnt residue all over, the insides of the refrigerator had spilled liquid on multiple shelves, the wood floors had a thick residue of drywall dust since I had some of the drywall replaced in multiple rooms and the whole condo repainted, the bathrooms were pretty dirty and the bathtub was super dirty since the renter had a bath mat in the tub and apparently never cleaned underneath. Anyways she deep cleaned the appliances inside and out, she vacuumed the wood floors with her Dyson and mopped with a special cleaner for wood floors so the dust was gone and the floors were clean, she cleaned the bathroom. Everything looked and smelled fresh again. Well...except for the bathtub which she did the best she could but there were still black stains in the tub but I don't fault her since I really didn't think those stains would come out. But at least the bathtub was very clean and my new renter would just have to live with the stains. She had one other person helping her and she did all this in a little over 3 hours. Great job Agnes and I will definitely use you again!
