My girlfriend recommended Lorita to me and I've been having her clean my apartment for the last few months. I use her every time I have a guest stay at my house. She's really terrific - I can txt her to schedule visits and she is really really flexible with my weird time constraints on getting my condo cleaned. She's always on time - when she says she'll be there at 10 AM, she'll be there at 10 AM. She does a really great job cleaning, brings her own products, and most importantly -- she takes PayPal for payments (a minor miracle). Add in the fact that her rates are extremely reasonable and I recommend Lorita to anyone looking for a home cleaner. read more

I hired Lorita for two jobs: move in cleaning of a house and move out cleaning of a apartment. She and her 2 helpers did a fantastic, thorough job on the house, so I was really happy to retain them again. On the apartment, I was less than satisfied. Lorita called me on the day of to tell me that she was sending one of her helpers and that was fine. The woman was very nice but the cleaning was quite sub-par. Despite me specifically requesting that the inside of the cabinets be cleaned, some of the drawers weren't cleaned. The counters and the sink weren't cleaned off properly, she told me she couldn't reach the freezer (I ended up reaching it just fine and cleaning it myself), the inside of the microwave had food particles, the bath tile needed additional cleaning, there were sections of the floor that hadn't been swept properly. In all, I basically had to go through the entire place and swipe everything down and re-sweep certain areas and scrub the kitchen sink and clean the microwave interior. When I later emailed Lorita letting her know, she told me that cabinets were extra and were. not included in the deep cleaning. This was news to me since her helper hadn't told me that when I went through the apartment pointing out areas that needed special attention. Given that it's a woman-run business that I really wanted to support (I was thinking of retaining them for a regular monthly cleaning), I'm disappointed with how things turned out. I would give her 5 stars for the first cleaning and 2 stars for the second. read more

Tried Lorita's service last week for the first time and will definitely have her back. She works on her own, bringing her own supplies. I felt as though she respected my house and possessions as if they were her own. At the end of the service, she asked me to inspect the house. I provided one small critique and she took it extremely well. Looking forward to a long professional relationship with Lorita! JF read more

Just had Lorita and her partner come help clean my boyfriend's house before moving in tomorrow. He's lived here 6 years and hasn't had it cleaned well in all that time, so you can only imagine the work they had to do. It was a disaster because of the furniture being all over the place mid-move, but they somehow managed to still make it sparkle. Setting up the appointment was very simple. She reminded me the day before, and texted me the morning of when she was on her way. Even went the extra mile to fold the end of the toilet paper and straighten up (whatever was able to be straightened up because of the move). Would definitely recommend them and hope to use them again in the future. read more

Lorita did a great job and was very friendly and professional. She was on time and communicated well. Overall very pleased!

Contacted about 10 days prior needed date for a move-out cleaning of our lower level apartment. She responded promptly, discussed details and made appointment. Lolita showed up on time, with all supplies. The apartment was in pretty good shape except the bathroom, which I think the Tenant never cleaned the 8 months he lived there. Lolita had it as sparkling like new. Will definitely call next time we need a move-out cleaning. read more

I contacted Lorita on a Monday and she was able to fit me in on that Saturday morning at 10am -- quick turnaround. She was very responsive via email, always getting back to me the same day, and her quote was very reasonable. The night before my appointment, she texted me to confirm and let me know that it would be her helper, Alicia, who'd be stopping by. Alicia texted me 45 minutes prior to the appointment time saying she was already nearby and could start at 9:45 instead if that worked for me. I was happy to get started earlier, and she actually ended up arriving at 9:38. Talk about punctual! Alicia brought all her own supplies; I was surprised how much stuff she actually hauled along with her. She was very friendly and started by asking where I'd like to direct her. I told her my priorities and then left her to it. She worked diligently from 9:45 until 11:20, starting with the bathroom and ending ultimately with mopping the floors -- she was very practical in her approach for mopping, and actually mopped herself out of the apartment! It was kind of funny, but a really smart way to do it, so she could make sure she didn't step on any part of the floor she'd just cleaned. After the floor dried, I went to take a look at my newly cleaned house, and I was delighted! First of all, she cleaned as well as I would have myself -- maybe even better! A pet peeve of mine is a lack of thoroughness and thoughtfulness in a service I've paid for, but I had no complaints of Alicia. She cleaned very thoroughly, and on top of that I was really taken by all the little touches: she cleaned out the drain catch in the tub, wiped down my cutting board and placed it neatly on the counter, she folded my bathroom towels prettily, fluffed the sofa pillows, wiped down the window sill in the bathroom, and even folded the toilet paper end into a triangle hotel-style! I am very pleased! I think she may have missed part of a wall in the shower, but I'm so overwhelmingly pleased with every other aspect of her work that I feel bad even mentioning it. Honestly, I didn't even notice it, I was so dazzled by the sparkling cleanliness all around me that my boyfriend had to point it out to me. My house smells so clean! I'm super happy! I'm definitely going to continue working with Lorita and Alicia. Thank you, Alicia, for all your hard work today! I definitely recommend this business. A great value for great service. I'm much happier with Lorita's cleaning service than any other I've tried, and I've tried several of the bigger well-rated services in the area. Also, I feel good that I am supporting a small, local, woman-owned business. Two thumbs up, will hire again! read more

Lorita is fine. She didn't tell me that she doesn't do apartments with pets, and we have a small dog and a cat. She was nice enough to clean anyway, when she arrived and realized that we have pets. She spent 1.5-2 hours. read more

Lorita and her helper did an INCREDIBLE job cleaning our place - a 7 bedroom house that hadn't been cleaned well in some time. Setting up an appointment is fast and easy - communication is seamless. Also, I love supporting a small cleaning business and having a personal relationship with the person coming to clean our house. Communicating directly with Lorita was so much nicer than going through a large cleaning company and not knowing the team that was coming to your house. Great rates and a wonderful job overall. We will absolutely be reaching out to Lorita again in the future. Thank you Lorita! read more

Lorita is great. I hired her for my move-out deep clean at the last minute and she did a great job. I have since had her regularly clean my new place and it's been fantastic. She brings her own supplies, is always on time, and my place sparkles when she's done. The first time I had hired her, my phone broke the same day so I was a bit delayed in my venmo payment, but she was very flexible and understanding. read more

We asked Lorita to come do a deep clean of an admittedly neglected apartment, including the refrigerator/freezer and the oven. We were amazed by how clean she got our apartment and are looking forward to looking in to having her come back monthly. She was prompt to respond to our questions and arrived on time. She and her helper were very kind. We absolutely recommend Lorita! read more

I contacted Lorita based on Yelp reviews. I completed the contact form on her website on Wednesday, and she responded within 5 hours. We squared away the requested details over a couple of emails, and confirmed that Sherl (one of her helpers) would be coming Saturday morning to perform the cleaning. I have a large two bedroom, two bathroom apartment in a high rise modern building - mostly hardwood floors, but carpeted bedrooms. I generally get a thorough cleaning every 2-3 months, as I travel a lot, and the guest bed/bath do not get used that much. So call it a moderate job, but with lots of dust buildup (not to mention mildew and stains from this hard water in DC!). Also, I like to cook, so always need the stove, etc. to get scrubbed. I had been using someone else until now. While a very nice person, her prices had been rising and the quality had been slipping (not to mention erratic arrival times - always in some sort of personal crisis!). Sherl arrived on time, and went to town on the place. Fours hours later, she was finally satisfied with her work and actually apologized to me for "taking so long" (!) - I told her that her apology was totally unnecessary and that I truly appreciated her great work, and all the time she took to do a detailed job. I will be contacting Lorita's Cleaning Service again, and would love to have Sherl back in my home to help me out next time. read more

We used Lorita's cleaning service for about 6 months. She was easy to contact, always sent reminders, was on time, and did a great job for the cost. We were happy with her service. The only negative is that she doesn't wash dishes. She's trustworthy, I highly recommend her. read more

Lorita and Alicia did a great job cleaning the apartment, and the rates are very reasonable compared to other cleaning services in the area. Booking and communication is easy since it's all through text. read more

Lorita did a great job cleaning our condo. The floors were as clean as I've ever seen them, and no dust bunnies to be found, even behind furniture. She was very easy to schedule with and even rescheduled with short notice. We have had mediocre service from cleaning services in the area but Lorita did a great and thorough job. The price was extremely reasonable as well. Highly recommend Lorita and will be hiring her in the future! read more

So glad I found Lorita! Thank you, Yelp! She does a wonderful job cleaning my apartment and is super easy to get in touch with. And she's always reliable to show up when she says. Highly recommend her work. read more

Lorita is simply fantastic! She's been working with us for over a year and she never ceases to amaze. Friendly, professional, honest and an overall great person. We love coming home to our spotless apartment every time! read more

Great job for a move out cleaning. Friendly, professional, thorough, on time. We were in her way, but she quietly got it all done.

Today I had my first cleaning. My apartment is currently so clean that I'm not sure I should be allowed to live here. All in all a great experience! read more

Lorita recently cleaned my home. I had planned to do a one-time cleaning, but I signed up for monthly visits after she finished. She was pleasant, meticulous, and really focused on the parts of my home I asked her to give extra attention to. I'm very excited to use her again. read more

I contacted Lorita on Easter (had a brain lapse on the date) and she got back to me within a few hours with an estimate. Alicia was scheduled to clean my house and she arrived exactly on time and was incredibly kind. We wanted a good cleaning after some rodent issues and the house was sparkling when I got back. I've already recommended them to my mother and will definitely use their service again in a few months when we need another deep clean! read more

Lorita has been cleaning my apartment for about 6 months and she's been amazing! The place looks great and she's very responsive and easy to contact! read more

Lorita did a great job cleaning my rental property after tenant left it really messy. She fit me into her schedule with short notice. She was super easy to contact and payment was easy. read more

Excellent service. Very quick to reply, on time as scheduled and very thorough cleaning on my 1br. Will hire regularly from now on!

Lorita is very communicative and it was very easy to set up an appointment. She did a wonderful job cleaning the bathroom in my house (I only requested one room). She left it sparkling clean (a total transformation!) and at a very reasonable price. I am very happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

Lorita was super responsive and was able to schedule a last minute cleaning for us. Sherl did a wonderful job deep cleaning our place. The prices are affordable, especially for the results. I'll definitely be using Lorita's Cleaning Service again! read more

I found Lorita shortly after moving back to the area from overseas. I live in Arlington, and had a few of the corporate groupon/living social specials pass through doing a 'fine' job. I found that having someone scheduled every other week is really a specific and special treat. Most importantly, she does a great job. Beyond providing a great cleaning, at a very reasonable price, she goes out of her way to communicate and stick to your schedule and needs. Highly recommend you giving Lorita a shot and seeing if you can make it work for you... it makes a pleasant treat to yourself on whatever schedule you need. read more

Lorita did a great job cleaning our 1 bedroom condo in preparation for an incoming tenant. We had never cleaned the oven and she left it spotless. Also, did a good job on the refrigerator. If you want her to clean cabinets, let her know ahead of time as this is not included in normal move out clean. Overall, great job for a one woman show! read more

Lorita did an excellent job cleaning our 2 bed, one bath rowhouse! She was prompt and communicative, and the place looked great afterwards - very reasonable rates, as well. We had originally thought we would book her once, but now we want to set up regular appointments! read more

I would put zero stars if I could. Lorita confirmed she would be able to clean a home for me. She did not show up. How can you run a business where customers cannot count on you? It was too late to get another business. Shame. Very poor communication. She expects new customers to know what information to give her. You don't say you are going to do a cleaning then stop talking with the customer. read more

EXCELLENT! Lorita and her staff did a phenomenal job. It's the little things - a clean interior microwave, clean shower, clean bookshelves, folded toilet paper (like at a hotel) - so thankful! read more

My husband and I hired Lorita to do a deep clean on our two story row home. She was very responsive during the scheduling process and did all the initial setup work via text, which was very convenient. She and her colleagues did a wonderful job cleaning our home and we couldn't be happier. They showed up on time and delivered friendly, professional and thorough service. We definitely plan to work with her again in the future. read more

Lorita was quick to respond to my initial request, arrived on time, and did a thorough job cleaning my apartment. I would (and will) use her service again and would absolutely recommend her to others. A first class experience all the way around! read more

Lorita did an awesome job cleaning our one-bedroom apartment. My wife loved how it sparkled when we arrived home. Payment was easy via Venmo. We'll use her service again in the near future. read more

I hired Lorita for a standard cleaning of a 1-bedroom. I couldn't be more pleased with her service. First, she responded promptly to my emails and was able to send me with a quote and her availability quickly. Second, her work is very thorough. My apartment was a real mess (that's why I needed to hire professional help) and Lorita was able to get everything sorted in about 3 hours. Third, she was also very honest and forthcoming with any information that is relevant. For instance, she mentioned that it was taking her longer than what she initially expected the job to take. She texted the information to me readily. I really appreciated that she did so immediately. Overall, my experience with Lorita has been great and will definitely recommend (and use) her service again! read more

Wow. I've never in my life written a yelp review of any kind but just had to speak on this cleaning service. These ladies just cleaned my place today. I'm showing it this evening to a potential buyer and needed it cleaned short notice. The experience was stellar. This place is pretty big (3100-ish sq ft 2bdrm condo) & Lorita and Sherl killed it. Totally professional, didn't cut any corners, & did it all unsupervised. My Dominican mother is really skeptical of maids she can't oversee, and insists on being on the premises if my condo's ever being cleaned from top to bottom (she's so friggn sweet), but I had to break it to her that we found a service we could trust. That's a big deal (but she still side-eyed me). Plus they did this for me short notice as hell. I texted Lorita on a Sunday night for Monday am service! Use this service guys. They're the shit. read more

I choose Lorita's Cleaning Service because of all the great reviews. My experience however, was not so great. Lorita came by herself which is fine but she did not bring a vacuum and had to use mine which I thought was unusual. She did not move furniture nor open any doors such as my closet door nor my coat closet door to vacuum or sweep so those areas did not get cleaned at all. Long story short she had excuses as to why she did not clean the stovetop, the shower, and vacuum. When I asked her why she did not even touch the shower she said, "It didn't look like it needed to be cleaned" The shower was visibly dirty, she could have at least sprayed something on the tiles I mean ANYTHING she literally didn't touch it. She said that my floor was really dirty (I guess that's why she didn't finish vacuuming it??) which is comical bc thats what the vacuum cleaner is for and why I paid for cleaning services. When I asked her why she didn't clean the stove she made excuses as to what the dirt was and said, "I guess I should have started with the kitchen first huh". She pretty much just stood there staring at me as she made excuses for why she didn't clean it while making absolutely no attempts to clean it. Time is money so I paid her the $85 and she left. Overall she was a complete disappointment, I pretty much paid her to only dust, and wipe down my 700 spft condo and take out the trash. Never ever again. read more
