My experience with Rose Petal has had its ups and downs. A few years back they were my housekeepers, but after losing the two regular women, they started having a very high turnover. We were uncomfortable having so many different people in our house, so we stopped using their services. During the five years or so since that time, we've used some other companies (which was mostly a string of nightmares, like the housekeeper who stole prescription meds), and also an awesome lady who was recommended to us by my in-laws, who was amazing, but retired earlier this year for health reasons.
Skip six months forward and our house has become messier and messier. Without the twice-a-month help of our amazing housekeeper, things have slowly gone downhill, and we're in urgent need of some housekeeping. (Helps us keep the place less messy too, knowing a housekeeper will come in, who needs empty tables, counters and floors to clean) so we call Rose Petal for some last minute service. They were booked up for the weekend, but put me on a short list. I'm glad I agreed to do that, because two days later they had an opening!
Terry came over this morning, and did four hours of serious cleaning. Four hours is nowhere near enough for our house, especially after six months of our own poor attempts to keep it clean, but unfortunately that was all the time Rose Petal had available. I'm very glad I got that time though. Terry did an excellent job in the rooms she was able to get to during those hours, and she was very nice and seems very trustworthy. I would ask for her again in the future. (though I have another housekeeper recommendation from a friend to try)
The only issue with Rose Petal is that they don't provide the cleaning stuff, and since our last cleaning lady did, I only had the more obvious stuff such as 409. (Windex? To be honest, I've never cleaned a window that didn't come out looking worse than before, so I don't bother to buy that stuff. Real mops? We just swiffer, which was great in between housekeeping. Not so great if you no longer have a housekeeper)
Overall, I would recommend Rose Petal. read more
