Leaving negative reviews isn't something I enjoy, but this experience was new to me. We'd had Miranda at our home once before - she did well, no major complaints. So we brought her out a second time this Friday for a 4-hour, $150 cleaning. Work was obviously done, our kitchen cabinets were obviously cared for, the carpet floor was vacuuming med upstairs, however, as we went through our home we found several concerns. We also discovered via our security camera an arrival time of 1:33pm and a departure at 4:03pm (2.5 hours). We tried to address our concerns with Miranda - I don't expect that someone never falter in providing good service, but I do expect a proper understanding of a customer's evidenced concern. I sent several photos of our concerns to Miranda following the cleaning (we were frantic to fix this ourselves, as Miranda was aware our need for cleaning was due to holding our sons first bday party in our home the next day) and we asked for a resolution. We sent our concerns to her business' Facebook page where we made the original booking, Our note stated: "Hi Miranda, I hate to do this but my husband and I are really struggling with what was done with our $150 service today. First, we paid for the 4 hour service and you were here 2.5 hours. If work had been completed, that'd be fine. Our downstairs rug has not been vacuumed as there's red lint on it and significant amounts of dog hair, there are sticky spots on our wood floor under our sons high chair, there are rings around our bathroom sink plug still, the back of our sink in our kitchen is sticky and untouched, our laundry room floor has scraps and dust and hair on it still, and so does our bathroom floor. That's what we've seen in the small bit of time we've been home. We need some understanding of what happened and how you plan to resolve. This isn't the service you provided last time and it is not acceptable to us."
Miranda responded by text saying she was sorry with nothing further; I let her know her lack of response has led to the decision to file a dispute through PayPal (our method of payment - chosen after we asked her a day prior how to submit payment and she stated the methods were on her website) address this as it would be private but would be neater than a text conversation. She stated she was with family, and we were rude. I replied she was aware we also had family matters to deal with and that our note should not be taken as rude, nor should she take this time to argue about family needs. She then responded with the following message: "Okay now that Im where I can type without the phone,
Again my Apologies for not doing a complete job I was there closer to 3hours but Im not going hash out time with you its non important. I never once said pay me 1st nor go through Paypal. Paying in advance is not the best thing to do just because I could get done quicker than the time paid for. I cleaned your sink missed the sticky spot my bad. I did clean around the floor of your sons high chair I mopped but when I took it over the sticky spot I wouldnt have noticed the sticky spot because the floor would have a wet look from the mop pad. The ring in the tub looks like a rust spot no I didnt take a tooth brush to your tub. The spot on your floor I had laid my bag down there mustve been the lint from it so Sorry, But I did clean your floors weather you believe that or not. I dont clean for free so I would appreciate you not taking the Refund, Cause I did clean your home. All your bathrooms, Sinks dirty toliets with the Pee line going down the front of it cause there was one. Tried to get all the baseboards dusted with the vacuum, Cleaned inside of your microwave. And ect... but I shouldnt have to explain myself to you.
But GO ahead and get something done for free!!! Its how this world is unappreicated!!! Have a Good one!!!"
I believer her response to our concerns speaks for itself, as well as the level of work which she stated she finds acceptable. We were highly dissapointed and surprised - our first experience with her was a good one and we had recommended her to colleagues the same day, before coming home to see the work. read more
