The service request sent through Yelp

I am disappointed in the response I received from Leal, insinuating that I chose the wrong service package and left misleading photos. As you will see in the new photos shared, I was never given a choice of package, and I obviously did not include falsified photos. I chose Leal Home Cleaning after asking for a deep clean of our home through Yelp's project feature(see photo of Yelp project request). A service agent then responded to me stating that the Essential package would be appropriate; no other options were given and no further questions were asked of me (see photos of this conversation and details of the package). The package clearly includes "clean microwave inside and out," "clean scrub sink," "wipe window sills," and "light dusting of blinds." I accepted the service, believing that the company had offered me the appropriate package and that they would deliver on the items listed in their package. Obviously I was wrong. It is not my responsibility to know the different packages that a company offers without being given that information. If the different packages had been suggested up front, or if the cleaners had decided after seeing the home that a different package would be needed, I would be more than happy to pay more for the appropriate level of service. Leal is true that this is a miscommunication failure, on the part of their company. Lastly, Leal believes that the pictures I took were not taken at the time of the cleaning. To that point, I have uploaded all the same photos with the time stamps included. Our cleaning was scheduled for June 30th between 12-1pm, and these were taken the same afternoon after the cleaners left. Ultimately, we have many options for housecleaning services, and I would ask everyone to consider strongly before choosing a company that gaslights its customers. I received an email from Leal prior to my cleaning taking place asking for a review in exchange for a discount on future cleaning. I suspect this is why the company was able to acquire the reviews it has.

We hired Leal home Cleaning to do a deep cleaning. We had stopped our regular cleaning during covid. We were looking to re-start a regular service and a deep cleaning is a good way to try out a new company. So, it was arranged, two people were to do a deep clean with a free added service of high dusting plus we paid for extra services a refrigerator cleaning, cabinet exterior cleaning and interior windows. My husband let the two ladies in and showed them around but had to leave before they were finished. When we got home, we took a look around. They did a great job in the master bath. They were able to get the tile and grout cleaner than we'd seen in a long time. Its just way too bad that they didn't put the same effort into cleaning the rest of the house. One bathroom: exterior of shower, faucet and baseboards not cleaned. Kitchen, refrigerator (inside & out), stove top, backsplash, some cabinets, some appliances and sinks not clean. I contacted Leal, sent pictures and they arranged for cleaners to return. The return visit took care of most of this- but not all. For example: the toaster was not cleaned during the first visit. During the second visit one side was cleaned. I just have to say that while Leal was quick to respond (a plus), but there wasn't ever an apology nor did they ever check to see how they did (2 minuses).

Responded quickly and the owner answered messages and was very thorough. The people arrived on time and gave me a good schedule to pick from. They brought their own equipment and sanitized and cleaned everything. Definitely will use them again. Did not have to haggle with the owner for pricing and definitely did a great job.

Photo of the bathroom between the sink and toilet, was not even touched.

We used Leal for a move in cleaning service- Overall they were just ok. $286, spent 2 hours doing a general clean. Fast forward a week and as I got ready to paint the kitchen, the walls were still filthy, a wet towel wipe comes away grey despite Leal advertising that all the walls will be cleaned as part of the move in cleaning service. Rinse and repeat for small areas like dust next to shelves, under the fridge, nooks and crannies in the bathroom, etc. I have been noticing more and more small things that have not been cleaned, that make me go "huh". Overall it was a decent cleaning. It was on the level of what I could have done in the same time frame, nothing more or deeper than that. Floors were cleaned well, fridge cleaned well, etc Would not recommend to a friend unless it was half the price we paid for the level of cleaning that we received.

Freezer tray untouched.

I wish I was writing about a different experience here and please understand I do realize we asked for a 'Move Out Cleaning' quote mid day Saturday for a Monday appointment (a last minute request). This for a 1BD/1BA apartment. Leal was quick to respond and the price was right, so we cancelled our other quoted service (which we felt was over priced) and followed the great reviews from Yelp to hired Leal. My wife met them there right at the scheduled time and they got to work. After an hour, I started receiving messages from my wife that Leal cleaners were refusing to clean the oven because it was 'too dirty'. I reached out to Leal management and after some back and forth they were able to get the oven clean. Shortly after, one of the cleaners up and left and it was down to one person who was clearly cutting corners and as a result, my wife had to start cleaning along side them. After some more correspondence with the management, they sent an additional crew over and within minutes there was a full crew of 4 people, much more experienced doing their best to quickly finish what should have been a 2 hour job. I was very appreciative of Leal's effort to make it right and appreciated the quick communication and commitment to finish a job. When we arrived at the unit the following day to triple check the work prior to our final walk-through, we found a number of things still filthy (photos attached) and as a result will end up owing our previous landlords for an additional cleaning. To be fair they did ask if they could enter the unit again to finish the job but we have already handed the keys off to the landlord an it is time to move on. They gave a long list of items covered in their quote and a good majority of them were over-looked. I was also told that Management apologizes and will be 'sending some of the new team members to training'. Won't be using again.

I wish there was an option to put zero star. One girl cursing and hitting all the walls whole time with vacuum and other one is settled in bed room try to make one single mirror sparkling silver. If I say something they get even more angry. What ever I show they it's done and literally it is untouched not even dusted. Worst choice ever, If u want to enjoy your new home and move in smoothly definitely don't take this services just because they come for $20-$30 bucks less, Coz I ended up going for a redo. I still don't understand how cum they have 4.5 star rating.. Neverrrrrr go for this. Pictures speaks louder than words.

We scheduled an initial deep clean and plan to have them return monthly. The cleaners were quiet, polite, and efficient. Good value.

The response honestly felt dismissive, and almost as if they no longer wanted the job because I had not chosen their company first. What confused me most is that the room still clearly needed cleaning regardless. It also left me wondering whether they would have accepted the job normally if I had simply never mentioned that another cleaner had already been there. I understand businesses can choose what work they take on, but the interaction felt unprofessional and disappointing after already discussing pricing and the scope of the cleaning.

This time she brought 2 women with her. Great I thought. But I couldn't have been more wrong. She was a hour late but communicated so I was still ok at this point. Backstory- prior to her arrival I spent the whole morning (7:30-11:30am) doing laundry, changing my bedding, and doing dishes. Major issues right at the start. If you book Ana make sure to micromanage every aspect so you don't end up like me. I don't know why one of her helpers thought seeing a made bed with folded items on top needed to be touched. Especially without asking and confirming. They threw my freshly cleaned bedding and pillows on the dirty ground. Then proceeded to waste time putting a quilt inside a duvet cover. None of this was discussed or requested. I went to Ana and expressed my concerns, frustration, and issues with my bedding being removed and thrown on the dirty ground. I asked Ana to ask me before doing anything extra that wasn't requested in my quote. Then Ana chose to put some dirty dishes away causing me to now have to rewash a good percentage of my dishes. This happened right after I asked her to speak with me before doing anything extra, I did not request dishes to be done. Now my kitchen sink is dirty and filled with 4-6 hours worth of loads. I am going to have to spend 5-6 hours redoing the laundry of my bedding. And I'm going to have to run multiple loads of dishes causing hours of extra work I had already completed. Frustrated the helper put all my clean pillows on the floor but couldn't move things off the floor to actually vacuum the entire space. I really do not understand. I requested tile a grout cleaning on my bathroom floor, that was not done. There were still black markings I specifically asked to be cleaned still on the ground. Ana did such a great job on my last place but quality has changed. I wouldn't even be writing this updated review if she actually would have done what was asked, or removed the extra charge for tile and grout cleaning, or maybe gave a discount for being late and causing me hours of work to do since my bedding and dishes are now dirty because of her and her helpers. I am not sure how all this cost me $165 but I paid her to be done. Book at your own risk. I would NOT recommend. She was better when she first started out.

Despite having a scheduled appointment, they informed me the cleaners would arrive 30-40 minutes late. I had already been quoted $300-$400 for cleaning a small unit that had been left in clean condition. The company scheduled the appointment for Saturday, but then began telling me about cleaners charging overtime on weekends--as though their own scheduling decisions and staffing costs were somehow my responsibility. When I pointed out that their crew was late and that they were wasting my time, the company responded by canceling my appointment altogether. No meaningful apology, no attempt to make the situation right--just a cancellation after I objected to their poor scheduling and lack of professionalism. I cannot comment on the quality of their cleaning because they never showed up. Based on their unreliable scheduling, misleading presentation, and terrible customer service, I would strongly recommend finding another cleaning company.
