Sunshine House Cleaning

Flexible, friendly, cooperative, and efficient! Got my place very clean during a roommate switch.

I hate to lower the stars for Sunshine b/​c the owner is so nice. But I used them for about one and half years, and their cleaning started to quickly decline. I would notice bits of dirt and dust on surfaces. Some of the cleaners are also extremely aggressive (I’ve been home a number of times while they were cleaning), banging pots and dishes down. One time someone actually managed to move the burner on the gas-​burning stove all the way to the right, instead of where it used to be, in the middle of the opening. It scared me to light it initially, but it still works. However, whoever on the team cleaned the stove must have been really angry that day to move it so far off-​center, and I’m too scared to push and shove it back to where it belongs (again, it’s a gas stove).
In spite of all this, and the sloppiness, I continued to use them, giving them *one more chance*.
The last straw was when my beloved Chemex – not a new one, but one from the 70s – ended up with a gigantic crack down the middle due to someone picking it up and banging it down so damn hard back onto the countertop. Yes, the Chemex eventually broke into pieces, although I got two more uses out of it before it’s death.
Sad to have to find someone new.

Pretty much what everyone else has said. Rocio and her team are great at their job, trustworthy and just awesome people. They come to my house every other week. I don’t know what I’d do without them.

It’s been over a year that I’ve had Rocio and her team clean my place, and I highly recommend her business!
They have incredibly fair pricing. They leave my house spotless. They are great with following different instructions. And on top of all that, they are really nice people. They’ve worked with me and my schedule, have been excellent in communication, and they have consistently provided high quality work.
If you’re looking for a solid team for your housecleaning, Rocio’s is the one!
******Earlier in 2013*******
They’ve continued to do a great job into 2013. First worked with them back in September 2012. Hired them to do twice monthly cleanings and was very impressed! Great team, and highly recommended!

Rocio is amazing. I have three kids, and she completely understands that I have piles of «stuff» everywhere, and that that’s basically as good as it gets. She cleans around, or moves things to clean under them. She is a stressed mom’s dream.
She is also great with children, my kids LOVE her. And she’s even nice to my cat, eventhough he doesn’t deserve it.
We’ve never had a house cleaner before, because we haven’t felt comfortable letting anyone into our house. I trust Rocio, she is a very nice person, and she also happens to be a fantastic cleaner as well. She is very detail oriented, and takes great pride in her work. I highly recommend her and Sunshine House Cleaning!

Rocio and her helper do very good work. They bring their own supplies and never complain about carrying everything up three flights of stairs. Rocio is very accommodating with her scheduling and her rates are extremely reasonable. Most of all, she is trustworthy and I am comfortable with leaving her to do her thing while I run errands. Highly recommend!

Rocio is awesome. She consistently does a fantastic job at an excellent price. She happily accommodates any special needs or circumstances that might come up. She is a very nice individual and a good communicator. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Rocio is great! She is hard-​working, very friendly, and will bring someone with her to maximize efficiency. She is very responsive, meaning she is happy to address any issue you point out, including, for example, a fridge that needs a good deep cleaning. I highly recommend her!

I was desperate to have someone clean before my in-​laws came to town. I called several people after reading Unilocal reviews. Rocio was the first to call me back. She made a special effort to get to me and she did a fabulous job. She was very pleasant and very easy to communicate with. I will definitely hire her again.

Rocio and Nelly did a great job cleaning our house!
Prices are much better than our last company and are very reasonable.
Highly recommended!

In recent months, I’ve become extremely busy juggling a full time job, co-​ownership of a business and launching a new career as an oil painter. I used to do a great job of keeping my environment clean and neat… but with new responsibilities, keeping up on housework has been next to impossible. Everything was falling apart… my two bathrooms were extremely dirty, my kitchen was a total disaster and I felt ashamed to let visitors in my house. I completely dreaded the possibility they might want to use my bathroom, eek. I’m sure the life forms growing in there were about to attain sentience. The last straw came when I found out my father-​in-​law was going to be staying at our place while we were gone on a business trip. I was fast running out of time to get the place whipped into shape. That’s where Unilocal and Rocio came in.
After extensive research on Unilocal,I decided that Rocio would be worth giving a call. Well, she made time on the same day to come look at the apartment, hear what we wanted done, and give my husband the estimate. Her prices are extremely reasonable… I was expecting to pay a lot more for the level of filth that needed to be addressed. Two days later she came to do the job and OMG, what a difference she’s made. I wasn’t too turned on by the smell of the cleaners when I walked into my apartment that evening (I really hate the smell of bleach), but bleach was necessary to right the wrongs of the bathrooms. I walked into my kitchen and marveled at seeing the real color of the linoleum for the first time in a long time. The bathrooms? Spic and span. She did a fantastic job and was very pleasant and friendly to work with. I told her at the last minute that my dishwasher was broken and dishes would have to be washed by hand. She did so and didn’t charge extra even though it took a lot more time for her to have to do that.
I might add that my husband has issues with strangers coming into the house and stealing from us, this whole process made him very nervous. Since neither of us were able to be home to supervise, it was a big leap of faith for him to allow a key to be left for her. Rocio did everything we asked of her and our sanctuary was left sparkling, safe and sound. When I need another cleaning, I won’t hesitate to call her again. I unreservedly give Sunshine Cleaning my wholehearted endorsement.

Rocia and her crew are wonderful! Not only do they do an excellent job, but they are also very considerate. We have a baby and they always ask if they should clean the baby’s room first in case she eneds to take a nap. They exceed our expectations every time.

Rocio has been my house cleaner now for nearly 3 years and I’ve been extremely pleased with her work. She has been incredibly helpful to me over the last few years and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a hardworking, detail-​oriented house cleaner. She’ll point out things to clean that I don’t even think of and is diligent about doing it correctly and with the right, safe products (my son crawls around now and gets into everything so this is very important to me). She pays attention to detail and works hard at making your house clean and look good.
Not only is she very good at what she does but also she is a very nice and friendly person who is always open to feedback and flexible. There have been times when I’ve had to change my regular cleaning time and she’s been able to work with me in finding a time that worked better for me. She’s even saved me in emergency situations (like when family arrives suddenly from out of town) by coming over to help get our place cleaned up. She’s even helped out with taking care of my son when I was in a jam — he loves her and she’s very good with kids. And she’s very fair about her prices.
I highly recommend Rocio’s housecleaning services as well as if you need help with your baby/​kids. Again, you can’t find a better person to help you out.

Rocio & her crew have been cleaning my house in Mountain View for a couple of years now, and I’m very happy. She actually cares about making someone’s house a home, and always leaves my place looking like somewhere you want to come home to.

Sometimes I wonder what took me so long to get Rocio to clean my house. She was recommended to us by friends of ours. Now, I don’t know what we would do without her!
She does an excellent job cleaning everything and is so nice and trustworthy. She will clean whatever you ask, but for us, she thoroughly cleans the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining areas, and bedrooms. I have never had anyone clean my house before, but we leave a key for her most days and trust her to lock up when she leaves. I have tried to clean my home thoroughly, but can never seem to get it quite as good as when Rocio does it.
My husband and I both work full time, so cleaning is not what we want to spend our weekend doing. If you are thinking about getting a house cleaner, Rocio will make your life easier and you will have more time. I highly recommend her.

I hired Sunshine to clean myhouse. every two weeks. Rocio has worked for me for 8 years and I’ve always been very happy. Most important is that I can trust them with my keys to my house, because they have impeccable integrity. I trust them with my house, my things, my animals and everything has always been well cared for. I also love that Rocio and her crew leave the house clean, organized and she’s always thinking about ways I can better organize what I have.
I’ve also hired her for parties and she and her crew have helped prepare food, clean glasses and plates from guests ongoing through the event, and replenish drink and food serving areas.
She is extremely nice. and over the years I’ve recommended her to several friends who all still use her, in places like Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos and even Berkeley, which I believe she goes to for clients once every week or two.
