Excellent attention to detail! Reliable and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend! Ask for Team A.

Highly recommended!!! I used them last month for my condo cleaning and couldn't be happier. I originally had a deep clean done and am now set-up for recurring monthly cleanings. The staff and owner are fantastic and so kind and flexible!! Pricing is great and I have an older small dog that they are so loving and careful with. They also bring all their own supplies and have a team so they are in and out in no time. I could not be happier to have found them and will be recommending them to everyone within my own condo building. Do yourself a favor and hire them!! read more

I hired Myers for a deep clean of my apartment. Three women arrived ready to go and they cleaned my place in two hours. They left it spotless. I love when you go to use a something afterward and you realize how thoroughly clean it is and how hard they worked. And my bathroom is gleaming. The price was very affordable and am considering recurring cleanings. I chose Myers based on the stellar reviews and I'm so glad I chose wisely. Highly recommended! read more

UPDATE: ** I understand you have been in business for over 10 yrs or so. So there is definitely a level of reputation. I'd imagine you hold your business to the highest of standards. For paying $265 to clean only the main level of the house; I didn't think it would be too much trouble to spend maybe 2 minutes to wipe down the spots on the glass door. My house is not even big! And maybe another minute to wipe the dust off the vent. I'm not even asking to wipe all the windows. Just the main door with spots that are clearly visible. I suppose that's an additional fee as mentioned. That's unfortunate. For $265, "deep clean" was the expectation. You offered to come again as a "courtesy" to resolve our concerns. Appreciate the offer. However, not likely would we want to use your services again. Takes time and effort to arrange the time and correct what should've been done thoroughly the first time. Me and my husband did a run through at the end and mentioned there was still dust visibly present in the bathroom but didn't go further as we didn't want maids to feel bad and they looked like they were in a hurry. Nonetheless, for $265, I'm sure any person would expect a thorough job. As that should be the standard. The maids that arrived were pleasant. The issue is, not very detailed for "deep cleaning." Dust also found around shelving and picture frames in main living room, (bathroom) toilet paper holder, mirror frame and bathroom cabinetry-- not thoroughly wiped down or was just overlooked. Both bathrooms. As if all was just "surface" cleaning. Again, not "deep cleaning." As requested. "Nooks and crannies" were missed. I guess one could never get it exactly as one one like. Unless you do it yourself. Thought I would just give house maids a try, given as a parent, with 2 kids and a dog. Needed a bit of a break. Also, was a bit pricey. So I thought I'd get what I'd pay for. read more

I paid $336 for a deep clean as required for a first service by American Maids. My condo was tidy and mainly needed, dusting and surface cleaning. During the walk-through I noticed the bathroom floors were not mopped underneath the sink was not swept because there was bobby pins on the floor. None of the nightstands were dusted. None of the living room or bedroom furniture was dusted. None of the windowsills were wiped. Everything that was wiped was wiped around, nothing was moved and wiped under. There were coffee stains, still on the kitchen floor, proving it was not mopped. I was embarrassed for the house cleaner during the walk-through. They stayed longer and cleaned some of the things I pointed out and asked me to do another walk-through. I told them it was fine and they left because I did not want to go through the house pointing things out again. It sucks because I was hoping to use American Maids bi-weekly. read more

I've been using this service for about 1 year and they are great. They do a nice job, are fast and are patient with my dog :) will continue to use them! read more

I used American Maids for a while and had been happy with the experience until some very important items were damaged in a cleaning (after not having been an issue in previous cleanings). This was extremely upsetting, on top of which, the way it was handled after I brought it to their attention was also very disappointing. If using their services, I would strongly suggest noting any items you don't want touched/risked being ruined. read more

We needed our house cleaned for Thanksgiving so I called maybe a month in advance and got on their schedule for the week of Thanksgiving. The two maids arrived, a few hours after the estimated time of arrival, but it was in fact an estimated time of arrival. They never called us to tell us they were on their way or that they were at our house. Good thing we were looking out the window when they pulled into our neighbors driveway so that we could correct this minor mistake. The two women that arrived were very friendly and listened to our requests and were very respectful. When they were done cleaning a room I would go around just curious what this "DEEP CLEAN" was getting me. In certain rooms I would run my hand across my wood furniture and my hand would come up dusty. This was not a single occurrence. Multiple air returns remained dusty after they were finished, and in multiple cases items like pictures and decorations were not moved to be dusted under.. they were just dusted around. I would not consider this a "DEEP CLEAN", I would only consider it a cleaning.. Our house was pretty clean already, nothing laying around on the room and everything very tidy. We wanted this deep clean to get the stuff we don't do on a normal basis.. but with what was done I would not hire American Maids again. Just view it as something I could do myself, and a better job of it. (Just not as fast) read more

We like too keep our place spic and span, and we are very particular, so we have been delighted by the service provided by American Maids. They are prompt, thorough and considerate. They always endeavor to accommodate scheduling requests. We couldn't be more pleased! read more

I would highly recommend American Maids! Very responsive, easy to schedule and very communicative. Great price for the apartment move out service. Call them, you will be very pleased. read more

The four-person crew did a great job - no dawdling, handled everything for me.

I needed a deep cleaning since I dropped my last service 6 months ago and I am not very good at it. Four women showed up on time, very pleasant. The ladies spent over 3 hours on my 6 room, one bath, house. A well done job. I will probably continue to use American Maids on a continuing basis. read more

Want a Professional Cleaning Service? I've used lots of cleaning services, and American Maids in Chicago is the most convenient and professionally-run that I've ever found. Of course, you'd expect any reputable cleaner to do a good job, and American Maids does. However, here are a few ways in which they're better than others: 1. Their cleaners are true W-2 employees, not self-employed contractors. This means American Maids follows all the laws regarding proper working conditions (all employees are masked), benefits, tax withholding, etc. Customers don't need to send 1099s to individuals to whom they pay $600 or more, or to worry about hearing from the IRS if they don't. 2. As employees, American Maids trains their workers to their high standards. Even though self-employed cleaners may work from customers' task lists, they legally have the right to decide how they do those tasks. They usually work for many different customers and have routines that work for most people. If customers are unhappy, they're expected to find someone else, not to demand that the worker adapts. 3. On a customer's cleaning day, an American Maids team will show up. They don't call at the last minute to say they're sick and can't come. Each team usually includes at least one person who has worked in the house before and knows where things are. 4. Unlike some cleaners, American Maids is well-organized as a business. Records are in order if you call the office about something. They send a reminder email a week before their next scheduled date, and a call the day before with a time window during which the cleaning team will arrive. 5. The cleaners will work whether you're at home or not, and I've never had any concerns about my belongings. They have been careful and honest. The office will keep customers' credit cards on file if asked, auto-pay the invoices after each appointment, and email the receipts. That way, customers don't need to remember to leave a check or make some other payment arrangement. Totally hands-off. I should mention that American Maids is not the least expensive. Naturally, their expenses are higher than some due to the higher level of service. To me, it's worth it; I've been a loyal customer for years. If you want high-quality, convenient house cleaning help from a business that operates professionally, I'd recommend you contact American Maids, 773-283-7505. See if they cover where you live. read more

We have been very satisfied with American Maids services. they often send the same team who know our house. they have been very flexible in scheduling. I highly recommend them. a very satisfied client in Andersonville, Chicago read more

I am beyond thrilled with the new job the 4 ladies did at my home! They were so kind and listened to what I needed and deep cleaned my home. I highly recommend them! My house smells and looks beautiful and it really helped my mental state. Thank you! read more

A clean house is so very relaxing. I used my Groupon today and had the best experience out of the previous 3 cleanings I've had with other companies. My previous experiences with other cleaning services have actually mde me hesitant to try another service, because I felt as though I was wasting money on what looked like a pretty mediocre job. But today I was pretty impressed. Making the appointment was fairly easy. They decided on 1 person for 4 hours, and that person was set to arrive between 7-8 am. At 6:58 am, my doorbell rang and Natalia arrived lugging what was probably 100 lbs. of cleaning supplies & a vacuum. I was working from home and so was present while she was cleaning. Aside from an awfully loud vacuum, you would never have known she was there. She seems to have been very thorough, especially in the kitchen & bath-- which is the most important in my book-- and everything looks great. She even cleaned the dishes my husband left in the sink. You know, because it's achingly far from the dishwasher...easily 2 inches. In any case, I'll review my husband separately. I would use American Maids again. read more

To start - I'd like to say this company has a great cleaning crew. They are very thorough and pleasant. This review is going to focus on their management/billing practices. I called a couple weeks ago to get a cleaning because they had sent a $10 coupon out via email. When talking to the woman at the office she said a deep clean would be $160 and a basic clean would be $89 BUT the coupon wouldn't apply to the $89. I then read her the email I got with the coupon which stated it DID apply to the basic cleaning and she said, "Oh OK I guess its $79 then." I booked the appointment because $79 for a small 2 bed 1 bath apartment is pretty good. Now, 2 weeks later, I open my checking account and see I have a charge for $132 and think well they must have made a mistake. I called today and talked to an incredibly unhelpful woman who argued that the prices I was quoted "aren't real" and asked who I talked to (uh I don't know it's your company). I asked for a refund of $53 and she said no, we don't have a $89 price option. She did however mentioned that no coupon was applied so at the very least hopefully I can get $10 back. She hung up saying she had to talk to the owner and would call me back. STILL haven't heard back. This company is shady now that I'm looking into it - no prices posted on website or anywhere and no accountability. I've suggested this company to two people to use in the past but with how much of a headache their billing is I wouldn't recommend them to anyone now. read more

Great service! They really exceeded my expectations.Would book them again.

We had a minor domestic emergency when a construction worker in our place decided to cut tile IN OUR KITCHEN WITH A DRY SAW. There was dust. EVERYWHERE. I mean EVERYWHERE. We googled some places and found American Maids to be the most professional, best priced and speedy option. They were so accommodating and right on time. Then there is the cleaning. WOW. I cannot believe how above and beyond they went and how amazing our place looks. They were so efficient and I cannot say enough fantastic things about the customer service, pricing and results. We generally clean our place ourselves but with this kind of customer service and pricing, we are thinking of making it a monthly thing. USE THESE PEOPLE! read more

A couple of months ago, I gave American Maids a poor review....but would now like to upgrade that. The Maids showed up pretty much on time (about 15 mins late....they had quite an interesting story to tell!) and went right to work. They were diligent in their efforts to clean even those rooms no one had been in for quite some time. When they were not sure about something they asked. I was quite happy with what they did this time. I had suggested that if they send out Maids on Saturday that they should have someone in the office to answer the phone in case problems come up. They still haven't done that just yet....and that's why 4 and not 5 stars. read more

Another,Great Job by your Cleaning Crew!My,Home looks Beautiful!Thank You,Luisa and your Great Staff.You,Squeezed my Appointment in at the last Minute and I'm Greatful! read more

Don't use this company!! Their employees break things and then lies about it to get out of paying for the damage caused. Stay away

We use American Maids on a regular basis and are very impressed with their service. The cleaners they send are professional, honest, hard-working, and diligent. The office is very easy to work with and willing to accommodate our needs. I look forward to working with them for a long time to come. read more

American Maids did an amazing job cleaning out two 3 bedroom apartments for our building. My apartment was a move out deep clean, but I also wanted to gift a cleaning to my amazing, hard working sister. Full disclosure: She has a husband, two kids and a dog - so yeah house cleaning is not necessarily top priority. American Maids deep cleaning service is competitive but worth every penny and you get exactly what you pay for - a detailed, professional cleaning of your home. My sister was thrilled to come back to a spotless home after her summer vacation. She was so impressed with how clean everything was in both apartments. She couldn't stop raving about it. So do yourself or someone you love and hire American Maids pros to clean up the mess. read more

Great maids poor scheduling. I have a baby boy. I scheduled American maids for every other Saturday at 9am. The maids would arrive in between 9 and 9:45. Normally this would not be a big deal, but as any parent knows nap time is important. After speaking with the owner via email, I eventually had to cancel my service after the 3rd visit. The maids themselves did a great job, very clean. After canceling I was accused of being rude by the owner of the company via email. To clarify, In a previous email I wrote that if they were not able to schedule my cleaning at a set time 9am, I would have to find a new maid service. When she replied she asked, "can I ask why you are canceling". Perhaps I am wrong but I feel this shows a lack of interest in what customers are writing via email. She also stated that "No service company will offer a set start time" In my opinion this is a completely False statement. As a matter of fact my current maid service has no issue arriving at my requested 9am start time. Owning a small service company myself I realize scheduling can be a challenge, I cannot understand why the first choice of a start time would not be given to committed reoccurring customers. read more

yelp failed me... not sure if we just had bad luck. the team of cleaners were one hour late. on top of that, NO ONE communicated with us about this delay. i had to take time out of my workday chasing them down - phone calls, emails... communication is lacking all around - i had specific instructions about locking up and cleaning interiors that were given to the rep upon booking. none of this was forwarded onto the actual team. i made sure everything was clear given the work was being done at my parents' house and no one would be able to be there. they happily obliged and said this is a common experience yet they did not follow a single thing. too many other options there to stay with this subpar agency. read more

Great service, and the company uses green cleaning products, which I'm totally in favor of. The women who cleaned my apartment were friendly, professional and extremely competent. I have already booked my next appointment with American Maids. read more

OK... This was the very first time I ever hired a cleaning service and I didn't know what to expect. Well, color me thrilled! I had requested a deep clean, and I didn't realize how nice my apartment can look. The crew of 2 arrived right on time, and when the job seemed to be going over 3 hours - I was asked permission for more time and to add another crew member (yeah, I didn't realize my apartment needed that much work, either!). A little less than 4.5 hours - and my place looks and smells amazing. Minor issue - but not enough to ding the rating - It doesn't appear that my living room couch and chair were vacuumed under the cushions. Outside - they did - and no small feat considering I have two cats that cannot stand being brushed! I am very satisfied and first thing Monday - I'm scheduling regular service with American Maids. read more

After rough moments with other cleaning services (I'm looking at you, Manic Maids), I found American Maids and I couldn't be more thrilled. Ilona's teams are awesome and, though there is sometimes a language barrier, the ladies always do a terrific job. I was even hesitant to write this review because I don't want it to be even tougher for me to get a Saturday appointment! But they deserve the credit. They are licensed & bonded which is great, because though they are on par with pricing on Craigslist, ($20-25 per person/per hour), with Craigslist you never know who you're inviting into your home. Definitely will use American Maids again and again and highly recommend them. read more

I just got a deep clean and they did an amazing job! I will definitely use them again in the future. My house has never looked or smelled so clean. read more

I had the Groupon and was looking forward to getting my relatively grungy home cleaned by pros. Since I had answered questions via email and by phone, I expected to have a great experience. Meh. They were due at 12:30. At 12:23 I received a phone call saying that if I didn't provide a parking space, I would have to pay for their meter. Excuse me? Where was that in the fine print? That's just tacky. Sorry. Life's tough. Feed your own meter. But in order to save time and be polite, I called my doorman and asked if we had any spaces these people could use for two hours. Gentleman that he is, my doorman came through. When the two ladies came in, I showed them around. They saw my built-in bookshelves. And I said I'd like them to dust. The shelves are glass. I am not even certain they dusted them at all because they still have a fine layer of what I call "city dust" on them. I do know they didn't dust the knickknacks. I also thought they did a sloppy job on the baseboards. They didn't do a great job in the kitchen on the stainless steel. That was one of the items I mentioned in a pre-visit email, so they should have been prepared. At least my bedroom is looking good. read more

A crew cleaned the condo hallway. Left it sparkling! We will now contract for regular service.

Over the past year, I've had some trouble finding a reliable cleaning company to do a once a month sweep of our place. Luckily, I found American Maids through a Facebook moms group. They are fantastic to work with. I call or email when I need a cleaning and get put on the schedule. A day or so later, it's followed up with to make sure that the payment method is still the same. On the day of the cleaning, the cleaning crew of two ladies arrives within the time frame. For most of the cleanings, I was on maternity leave. So when they arrived, my baby and I would head out for lunch while they sparkled up our place. They loved cooing at my little one too, how can you resist a cute little baby!?! By the time I return home, the house is thoroughly clean. With some cleaning companies, it's a surface clean for appearance sake. Not so with American Maids, they really clean your home and well. I highly recommend them as a cleaning service. read more

I had an extremely pleasant experience with American Maids. Three kind ladies arrived promptly at our appointment time with all of their supplies. They did an exceptional job of cleaning my very dirty apartment in record speed (which is great since I was paying by the hour). I was exceptionally impressed because I asked if they would clean behind my bed. Without hesitation, they instantly worked together to move my extremely heavy bed (which was pressed against a wall) and cleaned all around it. They lifted everything from the counters and removed everything from the fridge to give all surfaces a deep cleaning. They also made my old splattered microwave look brand new! Finally, they were extremely patient with my misbehaving dog who ran around, occasionally jumping on them and stealing cleaning supplies. The ladies were very polite, professional, and great at what they do! All in all, a wonderful experience and I will definitely be using their services again in the near future. read more

I tried American Maids as a Groupon deal, not expecting much. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! They do great cleaning, scheduling is easy and always on time, and they are courteous, professional, and hard-working. The owner is very helpful too, and always follows up. I have been so happy with their service I signed up for regular cleanings. They accommodate my schedule and send the same team so they really get to know the place. Plus, there is a discount if you pay cash. Can't say enough good things! I have been burned by other cleaners in the past, so this is especially high praise. My team is Tatiana and Sylvia. They are fabulous! Thanks American Maids! read more

I used American maids on and off for several years for spring cleaning, always with phenomenal results. Eventually decided to make the jump to a bi-weekly schedule and shopped around, trying a few different services before using a groupon with American maids for a standard cleaning. The ladies who came did a fantastic job and even put in a good deal of time to try and get rid of some heavy duty adhesive that was stuck to the floor. They were very attentive to detail and cleaned everything I asked for. Soon after got a bi-weekly cleaning schedule set up through Ilona who was very helpful and professional in her dealings with me. The price point is very competitive given the high quality of the cleaning and after having been a repeat customer for several months now, I am very satisfied with this service. While I've had different maids come through they all have been polite, detail oriented, professional and thorough. They have arrived promptly at their scheduled time and I'm amazed at how much they improve the look of my place when they are through. I appreciate the hard work they've put into my place and will continue to recommend this service to others. read more

After receiving a few "courtesey calls" that my appointment would be pushed back an hour, then 5 minutes later receive another one stating they could be 30 minutes late, I informed the person on the line, they could show up at 3 pm. I was not going to wait around all day while they figure out when they may show up or not - hello inconsistency. I came home only to have to re- clean my entire apartment. They didn't dust, didn't clean the bathroom. A new crew came to the condo and did a lousy job. Then when I asked how much it was, they said I had to call on Monday.....seriously, you did a lousy job and can't call someone to figure out payment. Don't waste your time with American Maids. Again, I can handle the less then prompt arrival however, the poor quality job no thanks.... read more

Very poor job. Still trying to figure out what they cleaned. Seriously. My girlfriend told them to clean kitchen and bathroom. Two girls were here for 2 hours, and they only cleaned the kitchen and bathroom? They were pretty clean to begin with. So confused. I was working, girlfriend dealt with them, perhaps she did not give good enough direction? Regardless, was not impressed at all. read more

I could care less about the same team as long as the job is consistent...hit or miss with your company. Again, policies are at the discretion of the owner and in my opinion (a business woman) to avoid the loss of a weekly customer, I would have forgiven a measly $25 to retain $260 monthly. Common sense it seems...but obviously not common. Especially when there was NOTHING more to clean in my 2 week absence hence your team left 20minutes earlier than usual. I appreciate your apology but not necessary there are a million companies to select from and at the rate you're going, I'm sure we'll cross paths again. (read your reviews) You're offering nothing special...a bit subpar so I suggest becoming more flexible with clients who will endure the less than average cleaning to avoid the task of searching for another company. Hope that $25 (that I will dispute with my credit card company) was worth it! Good luck to you... read more

I hired American Maids to clean my two-bedroom apartment in Oak Park. They did a spectacular job every time and I would recommend them to my friends. There was one scheduling mix-up, but we're all human beings here and Neli offered compensation far beyond what was necessary. She even kept in touch after I moved and had to stop using them. I was really sad to see Stacey go when I moved too. She was an inspiring person to meet and I hope she's doing well. read more
