Dahlia Green Cleaning

After Dahlia came and cleaned I felt like it was my birthday. Im someone who loves to clean (and thinks no one does as meticulous a job as I do) but just doesn’t have the time. I was desperate to rid my house of the accumulating cobwebs and dust, but my schedule never allowed me to commit the time necessary to the task. My standards were very high. I’m amazed to say the Dahlia exceeded them!
They went above and beyond in every way. They got in every nook and crany (high and low), handled my family heirlooms with care, and even opened the stovetop to my oven to clean out the layer of rat feces that built up when we had a pest control problem last winter! We had gotten so used to dealing with the smell that we forgot to even point that out. They just took it upon themselves to be extra thorough (braving the even toughest –grossest — jobs) professionally and meticulously .
Coming home to our immaculately clean house was the best gift ever. Even better was coming home to my favorite earrings that I had lost 6 months ago on top of the coffee table! I have no idea where they found them, but it was yet another literal gift from their visit .
The peace of mind (& accessories) I gained from their visit was worth way more than they charge.
. Oh and did I mention that the house didn’t have that toxic chemical smell because of the green products? I was skeptical that green cleaning would result in as powerful a clean. I stand happily corrected… and humbled. I guess I’m not as good of a cleaner as I thought myself to be.
Dahlia wins!

EDIT: A few days after I posted this Dahlia got in contact with me and gave me my key back. I’m changing my review from two to three stars. One star for actually following through in what they said they were going to do.

Original Review
+2 stars for the clean house; –3 for the horrible communication and the fact that after three weeks of calling with no response, they still have my house key and have not given it back.
The full story is that I heard about Dahlia as a women-​owned business and was really excited to work with them and support women-​owned businesses. I contacted Cyndi for a quote for a twice a month cleaning. She said the monthly price for two cleanings was $ 129.99. Great! She says that she will set up a consultation with me and then on consultation, I’ll set up a day of service.
My expectation is that the consultation will take no more than thirty minutes, so I let my work know this. Turns out what a «consultation» was was a three-​hour, full house deep clean where I sat calling into meetings and canceling them because I was still at home watching Maria and her crew clean. That’s on me, but I’m still upset by the end of the cleaning.
Maria tells me that the final total is $ 129.99. I’m a little confused because I was told by Cyndi that the total for two cleanings is $ 129.99. I say, «Well, I guess I can pay you monthly and then I won’t have to pay next time?» and she says «Yes.»
Awesome. I give her my house key and the check and tell her that the best times to come are Tuesdays or Thursdays. She tells me to check with Cyndi on the dates.
I email Cyndi about the dates – no response. I email her again, still no response. After the third email, I give up and ask for my house key back. There’s no way that I’m going to use a service where it takes two weeks to get back to a person via email. No response. So I call her and we get halfway through the call before she realizes I’m not setting up an appointment.
«I want my house key back,» I say.
«I’ll have to check with the girls on that,» she says, «I’ll contact you soon.»
«When?» I say. «I’ve been emailing you for two weeks and I haven’t gotten a response back.»
«Ma’am, we’re really busy,» she responds, and that was the end of that call.
It’s been a week, and still, no call. I’ve called her again and because she hasn’t set up her voicemail, I can’t leave her a message. I just want my key back.

Very impressed by the level of professionalism and thoroughness. The two ladies that came to clean my house were very nice and understood exactly what my expectations were and they delivered. I would highly recommend this cleaning service!

Dahlia Green Cleaning just cleaned our house for the first time. They were prompt, thorough, professional, and friendly and got through the first («deep») cleaning of our house in about 3 hours. I was hesitant about handing over cleaning to someone else because I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist, but they lived up to my standards. In addition to the «regular» tasks of housecleaning, they cleaned behind all the furniture to clean the baseboards, cleaned the ceiling fans, and more. Plus, they double-​checked that the non-​toxic cleaners they brought with them would be appropriate for the floors and surfaces in our home.
Plus, add to all this, Dahlia is a co-​op so I feel assured that they receive a fair wage for their expertise (and have no doubt, these ladies are experts).

The Dahlia Green Cleaning Team just left our house in Hyde Park and my wife and I are, as usual, ecstatic with their job! Prompt, economical, thorough and extraordinarily nice, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the team at Dahlia Green Clean.
Thanks, Ladies!!!

The house hadn’t been cleaned in months. Extra family traveling with a friendly but messy dog had just left the week before. Fur was everywhere, windows were dusty, and the sliding glass door couldn’t been seen through where the dogs had placed their dirty paws, but did that deter the ladies? Nope!
They were very punctual and very thorough. She had me look at each room once they were done to make sure I was happy. The Green part really drew me to them, and that it is a co-​op. The lady on the phone was very professional and walked me through every thing. I was beyond satisfied with the price and the service.
Everything was put back correctly, and she moved dishes I had left in my room, to the kitchen. Great for if you have kids or grand kids over all the time, and for pets, especially wiener dogs that like licking everything.

Dahlia Green has been cleaning our house once a month for 6 months now. We are completely satisfied with the quality of cleaning, the cost, and the staff. We pay for the standard cleaning service and it includes things that past cleaning companies skipped like the dusting of objects, ceiling fans, and baseboards (see their website for what’s included.) We’ve never had to followup with them for something they missed.
The cleaning is consistent and the ladies are punctual. It helps that the cleaning team has always been two ladies. They can knock out cleaning a 1,700 square foot house in 3 hours. I appreciate that they tidy as they go, arranging things in an orderly fashion. Scheduling has been easy over email and flexible. It’s only a matter of time before word gets out that Dahlia Green is a solid cleaning company with staff serious about doing a thorough job. That’s why I’m on the monthly schedule!

I LOVE these ladies. They are kind, prompt, attentive to detail, and leave my house sparkling. I have two young children, so the green aspect was very important to us, and they always seem to add a few sweet touches when they clean my daughter’s room and organize her toys. We are on a cleaning schedule for every 3 weeks and wish we could afford them more regularly. Not the cheapest cleaning service, but we appreciate that they are a cooperative and remember, you get what you pay for!

Hey, I can actually see out my windows! The world is much brighter.
I just had the ladies of Dahlia come clean my windows, inside and out. I hadn’t cleaned them since I moved in two and a half years ago, so it was a daunting task.
They were efficient, friendly, and very thorough, even busting out razor blades to scrape paint that got on the windows from an untidy trim-​painting job a few years ago.
I would definitely use them again, especially if I decide to use a regular bi-​weekly housecleaning service. The rate is charged depending on the size of the house, not hourly. And they’re a green cleaning company, so if you have children, pets, or other creatures who might be inclined to lick the floor, Dahlia is a great option.
