I usually do not write bad reviews, but unfortunately, Rudy, the manager, has been absolutely rude and canceled future services when I texted him about how the last cleaning crew did not do a good job. When I asked Rudy if I could speak to the owner, he finally called me back.
I wanted to resolve the issue with him by requesting the crew with the young girl who did an excellent job but he said sorry, he could not figure that out for me. She was the only teenager in the crew and I am sure he could have looked it up but he told me that he could not look it up. When this crew was coming to my house, the cleaning was fine. But he says I have been having the same crew coming to my house. This is not true.
Instead of fixing the issue, he said we cannot clean for you because you have too many issues with their cleaning. Maybe, Rudy, we would not have these recurring problems if you train your crew to clean better. Lifting up rugs to vacuum/mop, dusting and wiping down surfaces, scrubbing mildew--these are pretty STANDARD cleaning procedures--not problems that I have with the cleaning.
He accused me of lying by saying, "it's hard to believe that the [cleaning] crew did not lift up a rug in the kitchen that had bugs and coffee grounds under it". He also said things like, "you are wrong if you think this is the first time that you have had a problem with the cleaning". And I replied, "No, I am not wrong. I did not say this is the first time I have had a problem. There are multiple times that the cleaning has been terrible". After this rude conversation, he told me he would not forward my name and number to the owners, Erica and Julio to resolve these issues, and instead, Rudy hung up the phone on me.
I have been using this cleaning company for years because they have different teams. I kept switching the days hoping that I would find a team that did a good job. The problem is that there are about 4 people on a team so if two people do a subpar job, then you have 50% of your house that was not cleaned well. This is a flawed system. There are great cleaners within a team and I have had some teams that are great, but Rudy cannot guarantee the same people.
However, this last time was the worst. Rudy says that he cannot promise the same people will be able to come to your house to clean because people quit all of the time and that with their staff of 34 people they have to adjust. He says that the same crew has come to my house and SCOLDED me that I did not tell him that his crew did a horrible job within 24 hours. I asked him if he would want me to text him at midnight when I discover these types of things and he said yes, he gets these types of messages at odd hours all the time. Then I said ok I'll text you right away.
He then accused me again, "You are just going to set them up for failure by texting me pictures of how bad they clean." How does that make sense???? He is accusing me of making future actions of how the cleaning crew was going to do a bad job. What?????
Well Rudy, if you are getting a lot of texts saying there are problems with the cleaning service maybe you need to focus on training the people who did not do a good job instead of blaming your customers.
I did not discover the mildew build-up in the shower or the incense ashes left, the dusty ledge and dusty table with items on it, and the bugs and debris under the kitchen rug all within a 24-hour window but I was not requesting for them to clean it up. My mistake was that I texted him until after a week had passed, and he was upset. Whenever there is a problem, I bring it to his attention but have never asked them to come back to clean. He has offered which is great as a business.
This time I did not ask for the team to come back only how we could resolve it by figuring out the teams that did work out. However, Rudy was not interested in figuring out which teams worked and canceled future services out of spite anyway.
He will also make scheduling mistakes regularly and reschedule your cleaning at the last minute. Owners please hire a new manager! read more
