i recently moved into a home that was cleaned beforehand. I describe their idea of cleaning as "surface cleaning". They cleared out the cob webs. They may of cleaned counter tops in the kitchen. There was dirt all over the outside of the refrigerator. None of the inside of the cabinets or drawers were cleaned. You can see and feel the dirt. It's disgusting. Leaves all in the window sills. I was told they don't open the windows to clean them. Each side of a window cost 10.00. The kitchen itself has to be completely recleaned. I'm very disabled so getting this done isn't easy. I did talk to a manager and he had nothing but excuses. I guess if you are not there to see what they are doing, watch out. I feel really bad that someone put out as much money as they did for me. They essentially screwed them. I couldn't let that happen. Don't use Merry Maids. It's not worth it. Worst cleaning service ever!!! read more
