Do NOT Use Made In Jax - Unethical, Dishonest, and Unprofessional
I scheduled a recurring monthly cleaning service with Made Better Jax, and the first visit was supposed to be a deep clean--specifically including the baseboards, fridge, and oven. We paid close to $400 for this service and clearly communicated that our home is approximately 2,600 sq. ft., with five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
To our surprise, only one cleaner showed up. We were skeptical but gave her the benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe she could get the job done in five to six hours. However, she texted me after only 2-3 hours saying she was finished. No one was home at the time, so we returned later to inspect--and what we found was shocking.
The house looked virtually untouched. There was no evidence of deep cleaning. Baseboards hadn't been touched. The fridge and oven were clearly not cleaned. There was visible grime in the bathrooms and kitchen. The fifth bedroom and third bathroom upstairs had not been touched at all. At best, it looked like a quick mop and light vacuum--absolutely not what we paid for.
I emailed Nate at Made Better Jax immediately to express my disappointment and request a refund. I sent photos as proof that clearly showed dirt, dust, and grime throughout the home. I remained professional and respectful throughout. No response. I followed up again the next morning--still no reply.
Out of desperation, I contacted the cleaner directly. She falsely claimed she had completed a final walkthrough with my wife--who wasn't even home that day. Then, she claimed my wife told her not to clean the baseboards or oven, which was also completely untrue. She went on to say she had been told this was a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home. In her text, she forgot to delete a note that read "send this," making it clear someone at the company was feeding her scripted responses to cover up the truth.
This level of dishonesty is absolutely unacceptable. I provided written proof of the home size and the services that were agreed upon, and she still continued to lie.
Eventually, I did receive a short text from Nate, stating that the service had been completed and no refund would be issued. I asked him to call me--he never did. After finally digging up my emails from his spam folder, he told me they could come back and "spot clean." At that point, I declined--I had completely lost trust in their ability and integrity.
When I pushed further, Nate falsely claimed I told him my wife was present during the walkthrough--again, untrue. I caught them in multiple lies, and rather than taking accountability for their failure to deliver the service we paid for, they turned the blame around on us.
This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had with any business--not just a cleaning service. Made Better Jax misrepresented their service, failed to deliver on their promises, repeatedly lied, and refused to take ownership of their mistakes.
Please do not use this company. They are unprofessional, unethical, and dishonest. Save yourself the frustration--and your money. read more
