I have worked with Xavier Cleaning Service for more than 15 years, and they have consistently provided reliable, high-quality work at competitive prices. Over the years, I have hired them for move-in and move-out cleaning, deep cleaning, carpet cleaning, hauling, and property-preparation work. They have remained responsive, flexible, dependable, and attentive to the details that matter when preparing a home or multifamily property for residents, clients, or the market. Priscilla Rodrigues now leads the company after taking over from her father, Saulo Xavier, who founded the business and is now retired. She is carrying the business forward with the same work ethic, professionalism, and commitment to service that have kept me returning for well over a decade. Long-term vendor relationships are important in my work, and Xavier Cleaning Service has earned my trust repeatedly. I recommend Priscilla and her team without hesitation. read more

We've used Xavier Cleaning Service for around 10 years and continue to be very happy with their service. Cleanings are thorough and consistent. If we need extra attention paid to certain areas, they adjust as requested. Communication is very good -- and although we generally stick to a regular schedule, they are always accommodating when we need to make an adjustment. Very reliable. Would highly recommend to others. read more

Great professional service in carpet cleaning. Super clean. Cordial. Reliable. Detail oriented. Friendly. Fast

Xavier Cleaning Services have been cleaning my home for 15+ years! They are very professional and reliable and also easy to schedule with. They are always willing to accommodate changes to the schedule when needed. The cleaning is very thorough and they are always willing to hear feedback for areas of improvement. I also trust the cleaners in my home, which is also critical in finding a vendor. Thank you so much for so many years of excellent service! read more

We have and will continue to recommend Xavier Cleaning Service. read more

They offer an amazing service at a commensurate price. Not much else to say, so grateful for Pricilla :)

Saulo Xavier and family are the best cleaners I ever used in 20 years! Easy to schedule, good with technology and even easier because everything in 1 place -you can do a professional move-in quality deep clean, Carpets and Windows -ALL with Saulo! Pricing seams reasonable, but actually amazing value when you see the quality. I also appreciate the calls - with questions about what to do with A, B, and C, before making decisions with clients stuff - as their are always new situations. Saulo was a referral from a friend, and sharing the magic, as I've used him as an integral part of my business for 10+ years. I've handed off insane situations, with hours to turn it around... and by far, exceeds expectations by doing the impossible. Saulo is even better to get on a routine for your personal work or home every "X" weeks. I choose to use Saulo's services for my personal home. Quality, great to work with, less complaints from clients. Saulo and family are the best I have ever worked with professionally with my business and personally with my home. read more

See all

I was renovating my apartment and wanted someone to come within the next few days. Saulo was a recommendation from someone who had used him and I called. He was free in the afternoon and stopped by at 3:30 for two solid hours of work. My tenant of 10 years did not clean the exterior deck which accumulated enough dust, grit and dirt from the street to fill a small trash bag. Saulo first took a broom to remove the first layer of crud and he put on his mask since clouds of dirt were swirling in the air. Scary. Then he used his carpet extractor to steam off the deck floor, concrete walls and the windows. The water was black as night and now I can actually see the original color of the deck. It was pretty filthy. He also steamed off a concrete floor and two tiled bathrooms which I did not expect. What a great guy! read more

Wow, this guy is a serious jerk. I'm giving him two stars because he did a decent job cleaning. He was also rude and difficult to work with, and ended up trying to rip me off. I hired him at the recommendation of my landlord. I certainly would not recommend him to anyone which is a shame because if he was honest and fair he'd be much better off. read more

I contacted them by yelp on 9/26/19. The owner responded promptly and gave me an estimate and said his staff was on vacation. We scheduled for 10/14. But nothing happened on 10/14. 10/15, I get texts from Xavier saying they are coming that day. But the text refers to a wrong address in different part of the city. After several delayed and frustrating texts, with me sending screenshots of prior communications AND with me offering to cancel work to rush home to meet them. No one showed up or even followed up. 10/16, I again contacted the owner via yelp, reciting prior communications and what happened with the no-show. He again promised to come out but asked me to communicate with him by email? I agreed and did so, restating for the third time what service I require and what they quoted me with screenshots of prior communications. 10/22, I get an email from some one named Priscilla, not Xavier, to tell her what service I need?!?! Meanwhile, on 10/20, while being ignored with no response with Xavier cleaning, I contacted Bay Area Carpet Master, who already came out a did a spectacular job on my rugs and sofas. So bottom line, I got awful service, totally unreliable responses, no follow through, tons of wasted time and energy, and lots of frustration. I DO NOT recommend these folks! read more

Xavier might be a great cleaning service. In fact, he's the only service my landlord would accept when he strongarmed me into hiring a cleaner. So my landlord can write him a glowing letter. I on the other hand will NEVER KNOW how good they are because they one, accepted the cleaning job and then two, proceeded to cancel because it was more important to watch Brazil win yet another victory at 7am against the formidable opponent of the Cote d'Ivoire. Canceled. I am not kidding. It isn't even a final game and he has plenty of time to sober up and clean late in the day. We are cool with pretty much if he wanted to clean by the light of the moon. But he called up and canceled. Just don't take the job, buddy!! These games aren't like a friggin SECRET!! Feel free to use this service in non-cup years or, presumably, months not surrounding Carnival, Christmas, or if Imenja isn't in town. However, if the futbol is rocking, don't bother knocking. read more

I used this carpet cleaning & general cleaning service this morning and it went well. I was nervous about orchestrating the whole thing as I have never before had professionals come in to clean my apartment but I'm getting new roommates and I really wanted things to look top notch for them. Xavier was very very nice & he ran early. He sent me text confirmations a few days beforehand when I checked in with him. He worked with me to figure out a way to run his van-based steam cleaner up through the window into my third floor apartment even though the parking situation was challenging (I really appreciated this, as a lot of other services I called while doing research just blew me off when I said there was only street parking surrounding my building). His price also seemed like a great deal as compared to other services I got quotes from. $140 for the carpet cleaning and $25/hour per cleaning person (I had two). This was a big splurge for me because I usually take care of household jobs myself, but I can already see it was well worth it. I would say: Don't call Stanley Steamers, go a with local biz like this. read more

I use this company to clean my carpet at my Condo I didn't like the fact that the price was not correct I got charge more and I didn't like it read more

I was referred to Xavier from my realtor. He is VERY nice and does a spectacular job. I called at 10AM, he showed up at 3PM on the same day. To clean a 1400 sq. ft home, it took him approximately 2 hours. After years of abuse, the carpet stains were SO GROSS. Xavier removed probably about 80-90% of it. It looks almost brand new. He gave us a very good deal too!! Definitely would recommend :) read more

Xavier (whom I called Saulo for the first year) and team are great for last minute requests for the poor planners out there. Efficient and thorough cleanings and average price. He must have a great network of realtors as that's how I was referred to him too. read more

Called Xavier, got a good rate to clean three carpets in our new house. Previous owners had dogs.The tools Xavier used looked professional. However, the outcome was not as expected. I would say the job was not done properly since I was still able to see the dogs hairs and the carpet smelled dogs. Ended up renting carpet cleaner machine from homedepot. Much better result. read more

Xavier is very professional in his dealings with clients. He is straightforward and has a word of honor. I read most of the negative reviews about him but bottom line is;nobody is perfect! I called him yesterday around 11AM. He committed to be at my doorstep by 1PM. Called that he will be slightly delayed to grab lunch which was understandable. He charges fair and does a good job. I gave him 4 stars because my husband felt he could have spent a little more time in the bedrooms. The house felt clean and fresh when I came home yesterday! read more

Xavier Cleaning Service - My problem area, the hallway now clean and fresh looking! - Home Cleaning Near Me

Detail-oriented, always putting the customer's needs and preferences first, great results. Repeat customer for two years.

Xavier really cares about his business and his customers. He's quite flex on time (he came to pick up our key on a Sunday in order to accommodate us) and he and his team do a solid job! thanks Xavier for really going above and beyond! read more

We met Saulo through our Realtor and Saulo and his team were great. We needed him or any good cleaner in a hurry and these guys did a phenomenal job! They cleaned our condo, cleaned the carpets and steam cleaned the patio and shower. They worked their behinds off so we could get our place staged for sale. About to call him again for another cleaning ... not sure he'll come to Walnut Creek, but we'll find out shortly. read more

We highly recommend Xavier Cleaning Service. Having used them off and on for various projects for over a decade now, we can vouch for their quality, communication, and integrity. We used Xavier to clean carpets and do one-time move-out cleanings for two different apartments in Oakland--top notch work both times. When we moved into our current East Bay home several years ago, we reached out to Xavier and initiated regular house-cleanings. We have no complaints. Over the years, Priscilla has been a joy to communicate with. Arranging dates via text has always been straight forward, and she was always flexible and amenable to rescheduling when needed. We always look forward to seeing our cleaners and enjoying our clean and tidy home. The cleaners have great attention to detail! More importantly, we always trust them to leave our home locked and secure when they leave. Highly recommend! read more

Xavier did an awesome job of steam cleaning the carpets at my parent's house (45th Ave and Clement). He arrived on time, gave me an honest assessment of what can and cannot be done, and then delivered a beautiful carpet that looked new again. I had another contractor come in to give me an estimate on some window treatments, and even he remarked about the amazing quality of the job (he saw the before-and-after carpet). I called a couple steam cleaning outfits on Craigslist, and they were all call centers that were dispatching local affiliates. Not Xavier - he is the owner and does all the steam cleaning himself. And thus he stands behind his work. I'm very pleased with Xavier's service, and would highly recommend him to anyone in the Richmond/Sunset districts, and beyond. read more

I've worked with Xavier for several years now. I'm a Realtor who has brought him in to clean many of my listings in preparation for going on the market. His team is efficient and thorough--and very reasonably priced. Xavier is also very responsive and prompt. I highly recommend his company. read more

The worst - bar none! Saulo Xavier was recommended to me by someone at my complex. I called Saulo a month in advance, because I needed a moveout cleaning and wanted to ensure I had an appointment scheduled that wasn't going to slip. He responded in a timely manner and indicated that he could also clean my bedroom carpet along with the moveout cleaning. He seemed to have trouble getting the day correct that I needed the cleaning; he also would never commit to a time on that day - he just said sometime in the morning. That made me a bit nervous. I contacted him a little less than a week before the scheduled cleaning to verify the appointment. He responded by saying he couldn't clean the carpet, because his machine was broken. I wasn't pleased being told that so late in the game, but kept the moveout cleaning appointment with him. In the meantime, I attempted to find another cleaning service and was unable to. I had to scramble to find another carpet cleaner and was able to. That was a blessing, since I have read now how Saulo does substandard carpet cleaning as well. Saulo finally agreed to 8:30am on the cleaning day. I was still apprehensive about him for some reason. I sent him two texts a few days before the appointment to verify the 8:30am arrival with no response. Then, on the day of the service, his daughter (supposedly) contacts me and indicates that she is going to clean - not Saulo. It was the most ridiculous cleaning I have ever seen. She did absolutely no cleaning in the bedroom. In fact, I left for a bit and when I came back, she was in the bedroom closet on her phone! She did not clean the oven. She said my toilet was leaking and left some toilet paper on the bottom of the base with a yellow stain on it. The stain must have been from her cleaner, because there was absolutely no leak from my toilet. It was truly unbelievable what was going on. I told her not to use water on my floor and she kept ringing out the cleaning pad with water - soaking it and then cleaning my floor with it. She also kept stepping on the area of the floor she had just cleaned to return to the sink to put more water on the pad. I was just in awe. The cleaning took so long and very little was done. The balcony wasn't touched. This woman also couldn't maneuver her cleaning cart easily and hit me hard on my foot on her way out. She actually injured me. I could barely walk on my foot the next day and many days after that! I offered to pay her after she was done. I actually just wanted her out to finish what she had not cleaned. She said that Saulo would collect the money once he returned from his vacation! Today, Saulo contacted me - more than two weeks after the cleaning and told me I owed him $200.00. I requested that he lower the fee and explained why. He responded saying "life has a cruel way to turn on our heads What evil we do to others. Please don't cheat on poor Housecleaner's. It brings you bad karma." That is word for word his text! He said he shouldn't have accepted my job, because I had text him multiple times prior to the cleaning! Hmm... I wanted to verify the appointment and wanted to know what time he was going to show up. (I had a bad feeling about him and I should have trusted my instinct.) And then, Saulo never shows up! His supposed daughter does. In closing, this man is the rudest, most unprofessional person I have ever done business with. He has the attitude that we, as customers, all owe him something (for nothing)! And his cleaning service is completely substandard. And possibly he should stop cheating his customers! I am really surprised he is still in business and most of all, I am surprised someone would actually recommend him. I will make sure I spread the word about this service and his attitude. Like I said at the start of this review - the worst! read more

Xavier is top notch! Showed up same day I called him, gave me the best quote around, & did an amazing job! I am on the 4th floor inside a secure access condominium and Xavier still found a way to get his hoses & equipment in & out without causing any inconveniences to neighbors. He was timely, friendly, and ready to work. I will be using Xavier's cleaning services again. I did have to supply some aluminum foil to protect the bottom of the furniture. Yes, Xavier actually moves the furniture and cleans the carpet under there too! It took about a day - day and a half to completely dry, he didn't offer to leave or use any fans to assist with the drying, so we just went barefoot and it was no big deal. read more

Xavier came to my 2 Bedroom apartment and cleaned the entire place from inside out. He began by steam cleaning all of the carpet and washing the windows. He removed ever removable stain. He even assisted me with moving all of my furniture and things. Followed by sending over a pair of cleaners who scrubbed my place. He is a fair man and did a great job. I will use him again and recommend him to my friends/family. -Stephen read more

Unlike my Nana, I can not stand deep cleaning my home. I have worked with Saulo many times over the years and recommend him highly! Saulo Xavier and crew are the tops...... Dependable, efficient, affordable, and honest! I always look forward to returning to my apartment after a cleaning to enjoy the fact that all the dirt has been carefully lifted from my place, my bathroom and kitchen sparkle and my area just generally looks beautiful....after a visit from Saulo I often text to share my appreciation and joy because I am so happy to be living in such a clean place! Saulo is always on-time, professional, listens to my cleaning needs/wants and works hard to accommodate my ever-changing schedule. Call him today for your cleaning needs! read more

Do NOT use this service! I have never been treated so rudely by any service people anywhere. They were at our condo building washing windows in the unit above ours and absolutely dripped their dirty water all over our windows which we had very recently paid to be cleaned. When I tried to ask him if he could help with this problem he literally ran away from me and wouldn't answer at all. Please understand these windows have been successfully cleaned before with no dripping and streaking issues, therefore it must be due to their poor methods and very sloppy work! Do yourself a favor and find ANY other company to work for you, no one could be worse. They only get one star because I couldn't rate 0 stars. read more

I really wanted this company to work because they did a great initial cleaning (when they were paid by the hour), but when it came to the weekly cleanings, the staff got less and less detailed and came for shorter and shorter lengths of time each week. I stayed home two days to observe them, including the amount of time they spent (they said they would clean for an hour and 20 minutes each day but on the last day before I fired them they were only here for fifty minutes and one girl of the three girls was only here for 35 minutes). When I asked their boss Precilla about it, she said the girls told her they were there for an hour and 20 minutes! That was a blatened lie because not only did I open the door when they arrived and watch them leave, my security system also supported this! When I politely brought this to Precilla's attention, do you think she apologized or recommended a way to make this right? NO! She text me back with a "take it or leave it" attitude even though I told her I'd pay the full weekly rate as long as her team committed to staying the full one hour and 20 min and do a good job going forward. They didn't do a good job. On their last day I asked them to vacuum the living room twice because they missed big sections of the room (and I only live in a 600 Sq flat...so not sure how this is even possible). When I mentioned this to Precilla she said it's best that we don't work together anymore. She's absolutely right that we won't and I hope nobody else does either. read more

I'm subletting my apartment for the month of Sept and as always the carpet is dirty. On the floor I have a bunch of clothing racks I'm putting together and some boxes going into storage this afternoon. Planned on having Victor come in **late afternoon/early evening**after my housekeeper came in at 4 to get the stuff off the floor. Victor shows up unannounced at 1 pm, decides the job is too much work for him and leaves. After I absolutely begged him not to..,. I strongly don't recommend this guy if you have an apartment with furniture, or wish to maintain anything like an agreement visa vis your schedule. Also..major attitude. Faggedaboutit!! read more

The last time B&G Chem dry couldn't fit me in(it was my fault I needed a last minute cleaning of my carpets) Xavier was able to service my carpets the very next day. He's very personal and does a great job and takes his time. 2 thumbs up! read more

Saolo Xavier quoted me $20/hr and told me there was a 3h minimum. We both agreed that we'd stay at the minimum because there was only one small room to clean. The total fee would be $60. I let him come to the house while I was away because he seemed very nice and honest. *After* cleaning the room, very badly, I got a $100 invoice. I'd have been happy to pay a little more than quoted if the work was good but the room was simply not clean. I called to discuss but he was confrontational. I wish Saolo would have offered to come back and finish the job -- that would have been the professional thing to do. He seemed very nice the first time we spoke, but I think he had a few bad days or something... too bad! read more

Great experience. I've been working with Priscilla for almost 2 years, good in depth cleaning, very reliable, Priscilla always confirms the day before so I can cancel or reschedule if I'm away. I live with 3 people and it can get really nasty, Priscilla and her team have saved our life. Reasonable pricing. Never had any issue with their service. Would recommend! read more

Xavier was a couple hours late and charged a bit more than originally quoted but did a great job with the carpets. Overall very happy with the service and would recommend. read more

Arrived right on time. Did a great job. Very likeable guy. Gave me a great price. He has a truck-based system, which does a super job as compared to the small machines that you rent and/or some cleaners use. read more

Extremely nice, flexible, professional, went beyond the call of duty and cleaned *more* than we asked for less than we hoped for. We had to reschedule 3 times in two days, he was gracious about it, arrived on time for the 3rd appointment, and did a great job on deeply stained carpets, cleaned blinds, and otherwise got the house ready for inspection for our security deposit return. Super nice guy, I'd recommend him to anyone. read more

Saulo is very prompt and flexible with cleaning our rental property. I like the fact that I can communicate with him by e-mail. So far I haven't been disappointed - he's been on time, and he's been following my e-mail instructions. Also, he always replies to all of my e-mails, which I do appreciate. I would certainly recommend him. read more

Xavier carpet cleaning did a great job on my 4th floor apartment for half the price quoted by other local cleaners. In time polite and went over a few spots twice per my request. I was very pleased cost me $120 which included using the high power cleaning unit from his van. I did vacuum and put my furniture away where possible which I recommend to anyone. Don't bother with the groupon games they come in cheap and up sell every time! read more

I just had to say that Saulo is AWESOME!! I just had another company out here to clean the rugs of this place I am subletting which were filthy and disgusting and their hose broke and couldn't finish it. I called Xavier which is just down the road from me and he came right over. He is actually here right now finishing up the job. And from the looks of the carpets that he just did there is a 1000% difference. Too bad I can't post on here the before and after pictures for the carpets. You would just die. He did a good job but when I mentioned that I found him on Yelp he said that there was a minimum of $100 to get the $30 off so because it wasn't $100 it would be $90. That was the only negative about it. read more
