McMaid

#1 reason I picked McMaid was because on Unilocal it had a decent about of stars. Also, I didn’t have to wait 2 – 3 weeks to get my place cleaned like all of the other cleaning services. They picked up their phones, and were patient with me. For $ 150 I had their regular cleaning service and they cleand my 2B/​2B condo pretty well with clear mirros now, and non dusty counters. Great! What impressed me was that they found my 2 carrat earring and left it on the kitchen counter, how wonderful. I’m not rich folks– it was CZ, but how are they suppose to know that, most cannot tell with the naked eye. Honest cleaning people– I like it!!! One thing is I wish they could clean the inside of my fridge, but that’s only in the premimum package for $ 400. If I had real diamond earrings, I could pawn it and get the premium package. haha. j/​k They are great and very nice people. Try them out!

I had these folks come out and clean out my ducts, could not BELIEVE the gunk they got out of there! YIKES, I was breathing that?!
They were timely, professional, clean, responsive. Top-​rate all the way, good value for the money.
I’d totally recommend them.
(And this service is something you may not think about but seriously, you should! I was stunned at what was hanging out in my vents and I’m the first owner of my house).

I filled out an online form, and they sent me an estimate ($ 85 for 4 hours of general cleaning) and then in the mail, I got a coupon for $ 10 off, so I called them. They answered right away, were VERY polite and scheduled someone to come in two days time. I had to provide my own supplies, which was not a problem. (otherwise it was $ 80 more!)
Sandra showed up 5 min early, and was polite, if a bit surly. I left, and came back later in the afternoon. From the results, I’ve got to say I’m not dissatisfied, but certainly not impressed. Overall, it was what I could have done in 4 hours, and I was hoping for a bit more from a professional. The floors and stove looked great, but I did leave out clean sheets, which were not changed, but the bed was made. The shower was wiped, but still grimey, and my tub looked a bit worse than when I left it. Also — there were huge dust bunnies under the bed! Still! The windowsills were not cleaned, and I guess a bunch of little things I thought would be done, weren’t.
My apartment is tiny, a studio, but maybe I should have ordered something more thorough than a General Cleaning. I dunno. They also called me and left a message saying that I need for next time: a string mop (sponge is no good), rags (they improvised with some hand towels), paper towels (I guess she didn’t find the dispenser), and bleach (which was under the cabinet).
So, I wouldn’t really recommend, but they weren’t bad. My house DOES smell nice now. If there is a next time, I’ll try someone else, though.

Weird, can’t believe I got here first. Okay, here goes:
I went with McMaid after reading how difficult it was to schedule «Maid 2 Perfection». When I first called, the rep on the other end was really curt & not particularly pleasant. I really didn’t care, as long as the actual housecleaner did a great job. Thankfully she did.
But, she was also an hour late. I was still buried under boxes & packing peanuts, so it wasn’t a big deal. But she was still an hour late. Once Flenora got started tho, she was a monster. We cleaned the apt every week and I’ve never seen it shine like this.
I would’ve went with a full five stars, but gotta hold them accountable for the rudeness & the lateness. In the end, we got back our security deposit, so, that’s all that matters.
