Had a disappointing experience and ultimately did not use Your Clean Home's service.
Initial estimate came back $80-$150 scheduled to be done on Sunday. The price, I'm told, is based on how dirty things are, to be judged once they are there. I get messaged on Sunday they would not be making it and we reschedule for 10am on Monday. Monday 10am comes around and it's a no-show with no communication. Then I get messaged at 11am that they will arrive at 11:30.
When she arrives an hour and a half late - just one person to do all the cleaning - the price jumps to $180 and there is now a $15 per pet surcharge that was never mentioned or asked in the prior conversation. I ask how, if $150 was the upper end for super dirty (which our house is no where close to being), we're at the max end of the scale already. She says that it may just look clean, but it could be really dirty. At this point I politely decline the service at $180 and she politely leaves.
My suggestions for a better future customer experience would be:
1) Be upfront with additional fees. If you are going to have surcharges for common things like pet ownership, ask or mention that when giving an estimate.
2) Don't give a wide price range and then put the customer on the spot to pay you even more than the maximum you quoted.
3) Rescheduling on the day-of is frustrating but understandable since there are unforeseeable circumstances. Rescheduling to a new time you yourself proposed, no-showing, and then messaging a new time an hour after you no-showed is unprofessional. read more
