Been using Sylvias pro cleaners for 10 years and finally getting around to leaving a review. Friendly and professional communication. Always arrives on time and most important the cleaners do an incredible job. Every room, surface, sparkling magic. And they do wonders on the fridge and stove/oven. Highly recommended. I love to support local and family owned businesses. read more

We specifically asked for a deep cleaning this weekend. Two housekeepers came and were supposedly done in a little over two hours. They did not dust AT ALL, did not clean the baseboards, and ignored the cobwebs. They seemed in a rush to leave. Kitchen and bathrooms, however were great. We won't be using them again unfortunately. read more

They clean my apartment every other week ! They do all the stuff I don't have to do to keep up with keeping my place clean . No dust . Wiping counter tops . These girls are great read more

The best cleaning service I've ever used! Sylvia's team did an amazing job for my aunts house after she got out of the hospital and couldn't clean her huge home. They were kind to my aunt and she was so relieved to have a clean house again. 10/10 recommend! read more

I have used Sylvia's Cleaning for 9 years (maybe more) at two different homes. I use their bi-weekly cleaning service. I have had a few different teams over the years and, while they have slightly different techniques, they are always efficient and thorough. They are respectful of any requests. For example, I don't allow chlorine bleach for health reasons and provide an alternative product. Currently, I have a team of two lovely ladies who complete their job at my 4bed, 3bath, 2-story home in about 2-2.5 hours. This is nice because we work from home so it's relatively quick and the house is refreshed. Their office is responsive and friendly. I have referred the company to friends several times. read more

We have been customers of Sylvia's cleaning since 2019, and they are the best. Sandra and Luisa our cleaning crew are wonderful and do a great job with our home both in terms of quality and efficiency. I love how it's easy to have a reoccurring schedule with the same crew, or flexibility to change a date as needed. read more

I've been a client of Sylvias Cleaning for over 20 years! I started with them when I had a 1 bedroom apartment, and now I have a larger house. I am on a schedule where their crew (usually 3 people) come every other week to do a deeper cleaning/refresh than I do on my own. I communicate and schedule the visits via text, and I always get a confirmation of when to expect their arrival. The house always looks great and smells so nice after their work! I have always found the crews to be reliable, trustworthy, and friendly. I'm not always here when they work, and I have no concerns about leaving a key. With 3 people working, the job gets done quickly and thoroughly, and I expect I will continue to use their services for many years to come. read more

I've been using Sylvia's Cleaning for over 5yrs now. They are super reliable, accommodating to my schedule and the ladies are very professional and do thorough cleaning. I highly, highly recommend them, one of the best choices I made once I moved to LA! read more

Amazing job. Hired another company and they failed me, I needed help cleaning my moms house and they came through. Awesome yelp first time client price and they weee available same day ASAP. They did an awesome job. Defiantly picking them first next time. read more

We needed an emergency clean up after a construction project. Nicole suggested a 3 person crew and they did a very thorough job. They listened to instructions and did whatever I asked of them. I was very satisfied and plan to use them again. read more

I've been using Sylvia's cleaning service since 2017. I've continued to use her service because the employees she has had clean my place over the years have done a great job, are friendly, and trustworthy. They have always communicated to me when they would be coming to clean my place and have arranged for another time if unable to make the original appointment. The price has not gone up much over the years and has held consistent for some time. I have no complaints and will continue to use their services. read more

I requested quotes from multiple businesses and Sylvia's was the most reasonable and they were available next day. The ladies showed up on time and worked their butts off to make a unit in deplorable conditions livable again. Highly recommend! read more

I've been using Sylvia's Cleaning since 2014 and at three different properties. They come twice a month and do a nice job. The crew is always respectful and thorough, and their communication through text is excellent. Thank you, Sylvia's Cleaning! read more

I have been using Sylvia's cleaning for a few years now. They are reliable and honest as well as great cleaners. I have the same crew each time and they know my priorities and always leave my home spotless. read more

I have been using this company for over five years! They are so thorough and trustworthy. The way they find spots I would never think of to clean. I love them. Also, always accommodating with my needs and changes! Highly recommend:) read more

I have used Sylvia's Cleaning for over 10 years now and couldn't be happier with their service! My house is always spotless and the cleaners are fast, reliable and trustworthy. I highly recommend using Sylvia's Cleaning! read more

Great cleaning, price, and communication. I contacted them on a Monday afternoon, they had two cleaners to me first thing Tuesday morning! Super fast, on time, they did a fantastic job. My entire 1000 sq ft apartment is spotless in only 2 hours time (2 cleaners for 2 hours). read more

Not happy with my experience. I called and spoke with a young girl on the phone phone asking for a 0700-0900 cleaning for my tiny 500 sq ft studio apt. I was told she would would get back to me, a few days later I got a text in the evening saying they could come the next morning but they didn't identify themselves on the text message and never said "this is sylvias". I had been texting so many people I didn't know they were actually coming and had my address. Fine no big deal they came and said i could have a discount $95.00 instead of $130.00. Two ladies cleaned for about 1 hour and 20 mins. I stuck around and tidied up while they were cleaning. They did a mediocre job. Still hair and dirt on floors. Baseboards still dirty. I paid $100 for a mediocre job of my tiny place. They texted me next day, asking how my service was... i said i wasn't happy with the floors and never heard back. read more

Worst customer service ever they tell you they're going to come at one time they don't answer their phones you call they don't answer your text message letting them know if they're coming they cancel you on last minute manager is a responsible doesn't care about her company at all and doesn't reply back to messages at all very irresponsible do not book he will get canceled last minute read more

I don't get how this biz gets less then 5 stars... Maybe I am getting lucky every time but I been using their services for over a year or even longer and LOVE them.... Yes I had couple issues scheduling or rescheduling but it happens as they dealing with other clients that might cancel or run behind...so it messes with their schedule...not necessary their fault. But I swear it's the best money spent!!! They text me and let me know about specials and it's so worth it! Usually it's two lady's coming with ALL the equipment so you don't have to supply NOTHING! And they stay for about 1 1/2-2hrs. I have a 2 bedroom 2 bath and I come home to a spotless house!!!! Every inch is CLEAN!! Nothing has ever been broken or taken like what some reviews suggest... So in my opinion it's an amazing team of cleaners and I couldn't be any happier!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My experience here was very mixed. The first time Sylvia sent her girls they did an absolutely awesome job! Best, ever. Really fabulous and I appreciated it a lot! However, she sent two girls and one did all of the work. The other one, broke a shell in the bathroom (a special one, and when I walked in she had my toothbrush upside down on the floor, luckily I caught that and tossed it) but overall, really, as a team, they did a great job with a very messy house. A really great job, I would recommend them for a one shot deal! I wanted to make it a regular thing and have them come every other week, but each time, different girls came. so it was different each time. I really would have liked the same two girls as a regular time. especially because I can only be here weekends. (also I had put aside some designer stuff for one of the girls) I paid the first girls a lot for tips because they did a great job but then I felt I had to continue paying that amount for a tip when it was a regular visit and it wasn't quite as good or the same people. I don't like having different people move through the house. Sylvia is really nice but was not good with constructive criticism, one time, the girls mopped the floor and it smelled disgusting! all they needed to do was go over it with a fresh smelling mop, and they did and it was completely fine - but they seemed insulted. It was not an insult, anyone could have done that! The house was sparkling clean, so I had no complaints. Overall, I think they do an excellent job but there are some communication problems (they just didn't show up one time) and there is not the consistency I desperately need with my schedule. read more

I was moving out of our apartment and needed to find a good cleaning company that would do a complete thorough cleaning. I came across Sylvias Cleaning and noticed the great reviews on Yelp. I decided to book with them and try them out. I was concerned how well they would do the job because our place was a mess and my boyfriend and I really left the bathroom and kitchen pretty dirty. I am 9 months pregnant and I could not keep the bathroom clean due to the chemicals in the cleaning products.. So the bathroom had built up soap scum and grime. It was filthy. The ladies estimated 3 hours to clean our apartment which was fine because I knew it was hard work.. They were pretty confident that they would leave the place spotless. I was so impressed with how they cleaned the place. It was soooo clean and looked. 10x cleaner than when we moved it. They really did an excellent job and the best part is, we were able to get our full security deposit back thanks to them! read more

Dang, I had the same experience as Amy T. below - they quoted me at $195 for 4 hours/3 cleaners (by phone AND email), then asked for $335 for 4 1/2 hours, after the job was done. I ended up paying them $300 as I was going to tip them anyway (and I threw in another 20 for the women), but not happy about this. And, they changed their time of arrival from 830AM to 1PM (which worked out alright) but I had to confirm twice. The women cleaners did a great, thorough job, but you gotta be careful. read more

Highly recommend this cleaning service. For a 1BD/1BR apartment that has a pet was $125 and the service was great. They originally quoted me for 2 cleaners for 2 hours which was perfect but then day of, the owner let me know it would be 3 cleaners, they were done in less than an hour and a half, I thought for sure they had missed spots, but everything was in great shape. I was very impressed. Paying was easy via cash/Venmo. Will definitely book again! read more

They work magic!!! Serious. Honest to goodness. MAGIC!!! I hired two people to come out and clean two bathrooms and a kitchen in an old home. The bathroom had seen better days and the oven for some reason was caked in oil. I can't say how they did it. But they worked their magic and made the place 1000 percent better. I will definitely hire them again for more cleaning projects. I highly recommend this service. Not only were they quick to reply. They were on time, efficient and very hard working. They got everything and more done. I will also say that of the quotes I got, they were the most affordable. read more

This crew is trustworthy and efficient cleaners. We open up the house and take off sometimes having them close up for us. They need little direction, occasionally I have specific tasks for them which they accomplish along with general house cleaning. We even hired a team to pack up a small residence for us. Nothing was broken however none of the boxes were marked...not a biggie. Try Sylvia's team today. You'll enjoy having a clean house and free time on your Update March 2019 Sylvia's is still doing a great job for us. Good job no matter the "team", no breakage, very trustworthy. Thank you! read more

This cleaning company is a total joke. Booked them twice and both time when the cleaning ladies came in the first thing they did was to complain about how messy the house was. Why would I book a cleaning service if the home is perfectly tidy and clean already? The second time I booked them was three days before I left for a month-long trip. Right before I left home I realized the kitchen started to smell. Opened the dishwasher and found that they have left all of my dirty dishes in the dishwasher without ever turning it on and I had to spend hour cleaning to get rid of the smell. Also hid some dirty dishes in the storage compartment beneath the oven. If you don't have time to clean simply tell me and I'd be happy to pay for more time. If I didn't check before leaving for the trip my house would have been infested with god knows what. Contacted customer service regarding the situation and no refund of any kind was issued. Avoid at all cost !!! read more

OMG , they are the best , I highly recommend them. In short notice I called them yesterday and he promised me to send out 2 ladies to help me today , they came sharp at 11am and in 5 hours they did a awesome job . They were nonstop without even one minute break working hard and made my house spotless. Thank you so much . read more

I have used Sylvia's cleaning crew and I will highly recommend them to everyone for three reasons. First reason being, I was putting my house on the market & Sylvia's cleaning crew agreed to come as per my convenience at short notice when the original crew canceled on me at the last minute. They did a great job cleaning a dusty house after renovation. Secondly, we found a mirror damaged during the cleaning process. I sent a picture to them and they readily agreed to pay for the replacement of the broken mirror, no questions asked! Third and most importantly, the $95 they credited me through Venmo for the mirror replacement ended up in the wrong person's account!! Sylvia's customer service was so great... they worked on this issue for a whole month, made multiple calls to Venmo and kept me informed about the progress until they made sure Venmo sent us the amount! I was pleasantly surprised how diligently well they handled this! I totally will use them again and will highly recommend Sylvia's crew for your house/ office cleaning services for an immaculate job and for their awesome work ethic that is rare to find these days! Thank you Sylvia and crew! read more

Sylvia's staff is awesome! They have been doing an excellent job cleaning, being on time and never an issue until this week. Our crew was trying to clean our window (I didn't even know that they would do that) the screen was stuck and while trying get it free, the window cracked. The crew immediately notified me and even sent a photo. Within minutes the admin staff was communicating with me and getting ready to have a company replace it. In no time, a crew responded, removed the window and a short time later returned with a new pane. The whole thing was a non-event. Sylvia's took care of everything. Their cleaning services are fantastic, their prices fair and reasonable, and their service is beyond exceptional! My thanks to everyone at Sylvia's Cleaning! read more

I just tried this service for the first time. If you hire them for 2 hours, the price is $99 as advertised, but what they don't tell you is there is a $15 driving fee added on. And the first visit has to be paid in cash. The 2 women who came over didn't really speak English, which was frustrating. They couldn't seem to understand that I didn't want the whole house cleaned. I was in the kitchen with the team leader going over the list I'd written of what I wanted cleaned in the kitchen. She kept interrupting me, and asked over and over if I wanted the bathroom cleaned. I left a step stool from the garage in the kitchen for them to wipe the top of the fridge. Not only did they not wipe the top of the fridge, but they simply folded up the step stool and slid it next to the fridge. They put things away in the wrong place, which isn't a big deal, but I wondered why they didn't ask me where things go. They used spray on my wood furniture without asking me if I wanted them to. Then, several areas weren't wiped, so the spray was dripping and half-dried that I had to wipe down myself later. They couldn't understand that you can't put soap on stone floors. They were finished with 20 mins to go, put all of their belongings outside the door, and yelled to me that they were done. That was very unprofessional and rude, both to finish early and to yell up the stairs. They should have asked me what other jobs I had for them for the final 20 mins. Then, I saw that they had taken a scrub brush from my kitchen. After 2 calls and 2 days later, the man in the office said he'd take $5 off my next visit. We'll see if that happens and if I want to use this company again. Note: It is now a week later and I am finding more things missing from my kitchen. read more

Sylvia really should be charged with fraud. The other reviews here must be paid reviews for sure. First they broke my shower and my screen, never told me and placed a rag over it so that I would not see it. Sylvia told me that it would be $135 on the phone and then when she was done asked for $300????? That is called bait and switch at best... Where I come from is shady business practices. STAY AWAY. MORE PROBLEMS THAN IS WORTH IT. A day to forget. The most stressful experience with a service ever. I normally pay $72 to 1st Choice Cleaning, decided to try a different service and thought $135 was ok, but $300??? Seriously? read more

My wife and I were frequent monthly customers until one day in March when we discovered $500 had been stolen from our house. Granted, we did not have a video to prove that the crew took the money. But we did not have anybody come over to the house between the cleaning date and the date we discovered the money was missing. And we did not spend the money during that time. The money was tucked away in an envelope within one of the compartments in a buffet table, and not out in the open. Whoever took it may have found it while dusting the buffet table. You really find out how professional or unprofessional someone is when an issue arises and see how they handle the issue. We spoke multiple times with Sylvia in a civil manner, but she would not accept that her people could have stolen the money. Instead, she kept turning the table on us, saying we were the ones mistaken. She promised to investigate the crew, but never really did. At one point, she said she would split the difference and offer us $250 as a sign of good faith. To quote: "It's just money." When we followed up a few days later, that promise disappeared. We have since filed a police report and are working with a detective. I would caution anyone from using Sylvia's cleaning service. read more

Sylvia's UN-professional cleaning service. Why didn't I listen to the others on here?! I was trying out a few places to get a regular schedule going with the company I liked. It's not this one.... I called Gigi and scheduled two girls and three hours from 8-11am. That's $135 total. Made sure my morning was organized and planned out for a fully functional work day, which i made sure they understood was crucial. They ran super late - no apologies, and a very wrong update, what lead to 30 mins late became one hour and 15 mins late. By 9:15am, three girls show up and I'm now expected to pay for three girls! No customer service, no professional communication, no concerns. I feel robbed of my time, my morning and my money. This was all done via text because she would not pick up the phone to talk to me. I'm in the customer service field, I know what it takes to make a customer happy when you're at fault. There were plenty of opportunities to redeem her company and win me back but she was adamant I paid for the three I didn't ask for with no concern for my feelings, my circumstance, repeat business OR referrals! And they broke my favorite bowl. read more

They are not reliable! They call you at the last moment and cancel. They leave early. They disrespect your belongings and they drive you crazy with texts. Would NOT recommend! read more

We were referred by a friend when searching for a cleaning service for the first time. I never thought I needed help cleaning but was having a lot of out-of-town guests over for the first time and wanted the place spotless. I don't think of myself as a messy person and my husband and I cleaned the house pretty regularly, but I was absolutely amazed by how the clean the house was after they were done! We'd spend entire weekend cleaning and it was never got as clean as when they came. We've now been using Sylvia's services for over a year and wouldn't dream of having anyone else. I'm always so happy after they come because the house looks amazing and smells so clean. They really have an attention to detail that I appreciate greatly. Some people have voiced in their reviews that they are annoyed by the texting -- if you don't like texting, here's an idea - call them! You'll likely get their voicemail, but someone will call you back pretty quickly. Also, if you wanted them to clean something that they missed? Hey, guess what? Just ask them to do it next time and they will (crazy, I know)! Also, regarding the sometimes being late -- though I'm sure they do their best, they can't always anticipate how long the previous house/apt is going to take or there could have been traffic (this is LA, afterall), so maybe they're a little late so deal with it or call them. Everyone that I have encountered with this service has been nothing but friendly and accommodating and I would recommend them to anyone looking for cleaning services in this area. read more

Have been using Sylvia's for nearly 5 years and it has always been a great experience.

Great service she is detailed and very clean met my expectations and I'm picky when it come to cleaning. I will definitely be booking her again. I'm very happy with her services. read more

I have only great things to say about Sylvia's. I called them this very morning as I did several other cleaning services in the Los Angeles area. I will not name names but I was quoted exorbitant amounts for my not-at-all large studio apartment. I wasn't too familiar with the average amount for maid services in LA but something told me that anything over $140 was absolutely ridiculous. Not only was Sylvia's extremely affordable (they are currently advertising a 2 hour/ 2 people summer cleaning special for $90) but I was shocked when I was told there was a good chance I could get my apartment cleaned the same day - as in, today! Not at all what I expected as a few other companies were telling me tomorrow at the earliest (which I did not mind and totally understood). The two ladies that arrived, Ruby and Iuon, were very sweet and got right to work. I was able to do my own work on my computer as they effortlessly moved from space to space leaving everything in their path spotless. They finished cleaning in an hour and a half which made my final bill even less than the originally quoted $90 (which I was told ahead of time could very well be a possibility since my apartment is not that large). I was pleasantly surprised and that only confirmed I will be using Sylvia's services in the future. I am expecting company this weekend and thanks to Sylvia's I can focus on making sure everything else is taken care of since my apartment is already spic-and-span. Give this company a try! You will be very happy you did. read more

Sylvia's are excellent! we have been using them for 3 months now. They regularly clean our place once a month. Cleaning staff are always friendly and good with communicating between myself and the main office. Cleaning is impeccable and pricing is affordable. I highly recommend them. read more
