We had them perform a deep clean on a newly purchased house. I wasn't home when they did the work but they texted and were very communicative throughout the entire cleaning process. They said once I get home and inspect, if there is ANYTHING not up to my expectations they were willing to come back and take care of it. After returning home I couldn't be more pleased. Every kitchen cabinet, bathroom cabinet, fridge, oven, stove, microwave, etc... cleaned and attended to. If you are looking for a weekly cleaner, a one time cleaner, or any speciality cleaning, do not hesitate reaching out to these guys!

Better than most, even moving furniture to clean behind and below, cleaned the outer glass doors, cleaned the oven, etc. They were done in 2 hours (for a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment). They did a great job and I'll definitely have them back! Side Note (because I feel this is important to say): I would caution anyone looking at their reviews to put little consideration into the 2 1-star reviews they've gotten... One Yelper is giving them a negative rating for not speaking English and being culturally different. I too dealt with both business owners. They seem like good people. While the gentleman speaks bluntly, that's a common trait with Eastern Europeans. Neither are rude and to say so is ignorant. The other Yelper is mad that they didn't call to confirm her appointment even though they send these instructions to the customer in writing. We're adults. We don't need coddling. If anything, it seems like she's the unprofessional one for canceling last minute because she didn't get a call the day before. Just as she expects of the business owners, the customer could have followed up with them. Then to take to Yelp to bash them? Pettiness at its finest. If you look at her profile, nearly all reviews are 1-star ratings. Take these Yelpers with a grain of salt.

My fiancé and I hired Merry Maids to do a move out clean as we are trying to get our home ready to…read moresell and I am just so frustrated and beyond disappointed with how poorly the house was cleaned. "Our trained local cleaning professionals will leave no corner of your home or apartment untouched." But the floors were not swept or mopped, the countertops were not wiped down, some of the blinds missed, there was an air vent in plain site that was missed, the closets were not touched, the pantry missed, outlet covers not wiped down, the blades on the fans were poorly done. So obviously some corners are left untouched. My fiancé was told the blades "looked a lot better and they were there scrubbing them the best they could". It took me 15 minutes, some Lysol spray and paper towels to get them done and all the dirt and grime off. So I'm not sure why their description sounds like they deep clean and will make it "look like you never lived there". When that's clearly not the case. Yes they offered to have someone else come by and "fix" the issue but here's my problem, why would I trust they would do the job correctly the second time around and that we wouldn't have to still come back and redo it when they couldn't do it right the first time and to be kind of brushed off as they did what they could for the amount we had to pay for is kind of a downer. We used them in hopes of taking the stress off of us having to do it as we have a 2 month old and my fiancé works 3rd shift. All this did was put even more stress on us having to re-clean what should have been cleaned to begin with. Oh but we got a very small discount because apparently the poor job they did was worth the amount we still paid. This place is a joke. So if you're looking for someone to come into your home and do a very half assed job for an absurd price then Merry Maids is the place for you.

Merry Maids of Sycamore has worked with me when I've had conflicts on the scheduled appointment, but the result is always the same. If you have neither the time, willingness, or ability due to health, these folks do more than what's necessary. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I see another review in which an individual believes some details were missed, then I suggest practice the simple act of communication, politely ask them to remember to do something if it's that important to you. If you rely on them regularly like I do, you would find they always do the most important basics and then vary some other tasks with every other visit. Steve N.

I always thought I cleaned pretty well and generally keep my house in order, but now I could not feel more like a slob. She was able to clean hard water stains from my shower door that I had been unable to clean with half a bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles and a scouring pad. My hardwood floors are beautiful and I don't see a speck of dust on any of my furniture or pictures. Regarding pricing, it seems comparable with other companies when researching online, however a little more expensive than a couple of my friends pay with different companies and whom have larger homes. Based on my own (admittedly limited) experience, I will definitely continue using English Maids.
