I've used Hire a Maid for over 3 years now on a recommendation of a friend-of-a-friend and I…read morecouldn't be happier with the service. The pricing model is a bit odd at first, but it works really well as you only get the parts of your house cleaned that you want. When they come and do the quote they charge you per room - $X per bedrom, $X for the kitchen, $X for dusting etc etc. So we didn't get any bedrooms or dusting as the house is relatively new which keeps the costs down. Fantastic idea. They use all their own products, and the cleaners are excellent. Good attention to detail, consistent cleaning and happy to be flexible and do extra cleaning if requested or to swap cleaning one thing for the other (without a price change). Really reliable, cost effective, professional and an excellent cleaning service (of course). Highly recommend!

I booked Hire a Maid to clean up after my daughter's 21st birthday party. I paid the invoice in…read morefull ten days before the clean by bank transfer. According to them it usually takes one day for the funds to appear in their account, so let's say nine days before clean. There was no further communication from Hire a Maid so I naturally assumed that the cleaning slot was confirmed. However, no one turned up on the day. I rang, I emailed. No response (it was a Sunday). On Monday following I received an email saying that the cleaners had not been booked in as they had not received a screenshot of the payment. What the heck? They had received the payment! So clearly the payment sat in their account for about nine days but that was not sufficient to confirm the job, nor did they think to ring or email me to confirm it. I have since received a full refund but sadly, no apology. Will not make this mistake again.

Having neither the inclination nor the equipment (after the lawn mowers recent sad demise) to do…read morethe lawns ourselves, my partner and I decided to branch out and try Green Acres Home Cleaning services. At at a reasonable fee of $20 a fortnight for a decent mow and edging, the lawn was looking awesome. There really is nothing better than the smell of freshly cut grass! The regular guy who turns up to do it is friendly and chatty (though not too chatty). Green Acres also offers home cleaning services (as per their name) , repairs and renovation, car and pool valet all at great prices. The thing about this company is the people it hires, if you have strangers inside your house around your precious things you need to be able to make sure their not going to make off with your god silverware, thankfully Green Acres thoroughly vets all their employees so you don't need to worry.
