After having our baby in August, we were overwhelmed and really needed help keeping our house clean.
So we contacted Merry Maids to have them come out to give us a good scrubbing every 2 weeks (that's about how long it takes for our house to really get dirty).
We had them come every Monday. At the time, we were living in a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath townhouse. Not incredibly big.
Every time they came they worked for a good hour. When they left, the house was spotless! It had that nice clean smell. All the grime was scrubbed off the counters, faucets and bathtub. They vacuumed EVERYTHING, including the stairs.
So why only 3 stars?
They sometimes showed up a lot later than scheduled (one time, by a few hours). And one time, they showed up unexpectedly & just started cleaning. My wife works from home and is on the phone a lot. So she needs to know these things in advance. We both had to scramble to pick all the baby toys up off the floor and get the house ready to be cleaned.
Overall though, I'd recommend this particular Merry Maids office. The gentleman who came to do our initial estimate was very nice and did a thorough job. They are flexible with days and times as long as you give them some notice. Best of all, they are affordable.
If you need your house cleaned but don't want to hire a full-time, live-in maid, then Merry Maids can get the job done. read more
