I should have followed my gut and not used this business, something wasn't quite right about her tone when she was on speaker phone. There is such a shortage of really good, qualified cleaners. I gambled and lost big time.
The area of my new EMPTY home that needed cleaning was about 4000 sf. The cleaners were instructed to do the kitchen, base boards, floors, doors. They only had to clean a master bath and powder room. This was a basic move cleaning, no furniture. I didn't squabble over price quoted.
The owner sent out two cleaners one TRAINEE and one experienced. The main cleaner Leslie spent much of her time re doing the less experienced cleaners work. She was pleasant at first, but things got weirder as time went on. She asked me how much my house cost, who lived there with me. Leslie would not stop asking questions. She even ate fruit off my trees. I felt she was inappropriate but a nice person so I moved forward. I was hoping for the best.
After four hours, I returned to a lemon fresh home. I was given 5-10 minutes to check a large home with impatient and a very tired Leslie. Leslie's whole temperament changed. I did my best to check as much as I could and tipped.
I moved in about 3 days later.......they cleaned nothing. I tested it with a rag. Lower and top shelves and cabinet filthy. Baseboards half done and cleaned. Master shower dirty. Front door only cleaned half way. Cleaners didn't have a ladder or proper equipment. I am questioning what DID they really clean.....everything was just surface cleaned at best.....not detailed clean. What the hell did I just pay $600 plus I20 dollar tip for????? Why would you send a trainee to clean a house? I found out much later Leslie complained about the size of the house, I guess that explains why she did such a half butt job. Did you even google my house? It's the owner of the company's responsibility to do an accurate quote.
When I told her my grievances private, she apologized as she loudly ate her snacks and offered a re do of one area or (5) 15% discount codes. Lady, I am never using your service again. I politely declined, and accepted the fact I was taken for a ride. I wrote a follow up review on the 3rd party service I found this shoddy "business", she responded showing her ignorance and arrogance. She suggested it was my fault because I tipped. I was somehow responsible for their obvious negligence. Crazy.
The owner has been in business less than a year. She should take some good advice and actually monitor who she sends to clean. I expect her to defend her business vigorously, but wrong is wrong......take responsibility. You weren't there, I was. Anyone with eyes can see the filth. This will not be the last negative she receives. Train your staff BEFORE they go to a paying customer's home. Side note, she was suppose to give an additional quote on my windows and she never showed. She stated the morning of her cleaners would give her the info instead and she would get back me.
I will let you guess whether she followed up...... I don't recommend..... read more
