I am not usually one to take the time to conduct reviews unless the service has been exceptional or absolutely terrible. In this case, I am more than disappointed with the company and the customer service from the owner. This is long, but I feel it's the only way to get the information across.
I hired the company many months ago once I had a second child and went back to my full time job. I utilized google and came across Misty Clean. I thought the ratings seemed decent, so I hired the company. I had never hired a cleaning service before, so this was very new to me and I wasn't sure what to expect. The first few times, things were absolutely not cleaned as the website lists. The company was accommodating and would return to fix the problems. Here are just a few examples of the issues we had: the basement was completed neglected (they didn't even vacuum it) , rooms not being dusted, the floor being mopped with undiluted cleaner, leaving it extremely sticky, kitchen cabinets not dusted, etc. Items of value have been thrown in the trash (a full, Costco sized, pack of razors, for example) and I've had to go dig through the trash bags they threw out to retrieve the items. Even though my husband stated his unhappiness with the company, I kept saying that we should give them another chance since the price was reasonable (you pay for what you get, I've learned), and they would come back and fix the issues I would complain about.
Last month was our last cleaning we had from them. I came home (I was the first one home), made dinner, and we all sat down to eat once my husband and kids arrived home. I found a large chip missing from my wooden, kitchen table, right next to the spot I sit for dinner every evening. I had cleaned the table off the night before after we finished dinner and that chip was absolutely not there. I immediately took a picture and sent it to the owner. I stated that it was not previously there and asked what they do in situations like this. She stated that it was already there and they "meant to call me". She also said she will be telling her cleaners of proper procedure for the future, such as writing the damage noticed on the cleaning sheet and calling the owner of the home. That is all fine and dandy...except that chip was not previously there. It's in a location where there isn't high traffic and it could have only come from the cleaners. I received no apology for the lack of communication, no offer to try and resolve the issue. INSTEAD, the owner suggested we part ways since there could be no resolution found. Excuse me? The resolution to my unhappiness is to release me as a customer? Not only did she suggest this, but was rude in her responses. Certainly no way to speak to your customers. I have saved every single correspondence with this company for my own records, and I have been nothing but polite and understanding, even with the job we paid for was not rendered. I have also never accused any of her cleaners of stealing or damaging my property.
I have since moved on to a company that has an "A" rating on Angie's list. I wish I would have searched for a cleaning company on a reputable site in the first place. I would have then seen the reviews where the owner "fired" another customer over her saying one of the cleaners stole jewelry. It seems her resolution to any issue is to fire the customer. Save yourself trouble and disappointment and find another company to clean your home. read more
