Zest

First, let me start off by saying I am VERY PICKY about housecleaning services. I have used several services in my life, and Zest has far exceeded all of them. Claire and Peter are absolutely amazing. They work completely in the background quietly and efficiently which is a huge bonus, since I work at home. The first-​time, deep cleaning blew me away! I had just «fired» my last crew less than 2 weeks before, and after Claire and Peter were finished, it was like the other crew had never even touched my house! They never seem rushed or sit around talking to each other. They are two extremely pleasant people who seem very focused on deep cleaning every single time. Cleanings are always consistent. They are on time, extremely reasonable cost-​wise, and highly professional. Best in Orange County HANDS DOWN!

I just had my home Zest-​fully cleaned. I’m so thankful for the very nice couple who came today and not only cleaned but sanitized our home. I’m so happy with their service I want them to come back as a routine. I highly recommend them. Thank you Zest!

We just had our home cleaned by Zest and we were so pleased. They did the quality of work I would do myself if I had the time – and I am picky and detail-​oriented! They were extremely polite and focused, and so great with our dog. The communication was fantastic with Martina before and with the team during the cleaning. They needed some extra time due to the condition of one of our showers, but informed us of this right away. They charged us for the exact amount of time they were here (in fact, I think they actually gave us 5 – 10 minutes since they were here from 2pm to 6:10pm and we only paid for 4 hours). We were super happy with them overall, and are scheduling them to come back on a monthly basis. I would definitely recommend checking them out!

Zest is the best! I have had both teams, Peter and Claire, Kate and Jacob clean my house and I couldn’t be happier. I have had other cleaning companies in the past that just surface clean, but the attention to detail was amazing. My home has never looked better. I highly recommend Zest.

Zest sent Peter and Claire to clean our house before our big move-​in day. We had so much work done on the home that we wanted a nice, clean house to move into and Zest really came through for us. Peter and Claire spent about 3 hours to clean the entire house from top to bottom. I met them in the morning to give some general directions and then I had to leave to coordinate the move, but Peter and Claire were able to take my instructions and run with it. They did an amazing job cleaning some of the tougher areas like the oven and the door/​window sills. I never hired a cleaning company before so I did not know what to expect but I am definitely calling them again for future cleaning needs. It’s been 2 days since they left and the house still smells of lemons!

As someone who has cleaned homes in the past but had never had my own home cleaned by anyone other than myself I was excited to finally experience what it was like to come home to a sparkling clean home that I did not do. WOW, what a great experience. I sent an email request for a quote through the
website and quickly received a response from Martina with a clear quote and we booked a deep cleaning. My house is very tidy and generally clean but my work load has kept me from the deeper cleaning so I was so excited to get this done. At 9am promptly Claire and Peter arrived ready to roll, took a tour of our home and got to work. I left to run errands, Martina texted me as they were getting close to done and when I get home I walked through the door to a shiny, clean, lovely smelling home. Their attention to detail and commitment to get every surface clean (doors, blinds, light switches… everything) clean was AWESOME! I am one of those people that notices all the little things and dirt drives me nuts. Everything was clean. Thank you thank you for being so dependable, courteous, conscientious, and just dang good at your job. I really appreciate such great customer service and commitment to your customers satisfaction.

My husband contacted Zest and set up a scheduled time for a deep clean on our home. Claire and Peter arrived and were super friendly/​courteous. They were in the home less than two hours and did such an amazing job! We will definitely be requesting them in the future.

Searching for a house cleaning service to tackle your Spring Cleaning or routine clean? Search no further and call Zest! I called Martina based on a referral from a friend and I am so happy I did! Martina was prompt at returning my call and quoting our deep spring cleaning request. Her team Claire and Peter arrived promptly as scheduled two days later and were AMAZING! They were polite and courteous and worked SO hard cleaning our home! We are very pleased with their service and highly recommend!

This is my first experience using a house cleaning service and I was fairly nervous. I am pretty OCD about my house and was concerned I would not get a thorough cleaning. However, I had to start somewhere as I am increasing hours at work, have three kids, a messy husband and two dogs. The owner, Martina got back to me with a quote within a few hours and I had a cleaning date setup within two days. I had received and spoken to three other cleaning services but liked Martina and prices were within same range. Cleaners, Claire and Peter, arrived on time and brought all necessary cleaning tools. I had my youngest at home and Claire was especially sweet to her even as she followed her around while she was working. I am very pleased with cleanliness, they did a great job! I never want to clean my house again now.

OMG!!! We’ve had house cleaning services in the past, but Zest blows the others away! Martina answered our questions & booked an appointment 2 days later that worked for all of our schedules.
Kate & Jacob showed up right on time! Great team… polite, trustworthy, extremely HARD-​WORKING & focussed on the job! No distractions such as chatting on cell phones, etc. They did a deep cleaning of our home from top to bottom & we have NEVER seen it this clean by any other company! The sparkling stove & everything else had us saying «WOW» all night long!
Thank you Zest… you are the BEST! See you next time.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Zest. Kate and Jacob are the absolute best. Prompt, friendly and always do an amazing job.
We’re always looking forward to their next visit!

Amazing! Martina is very professional and accommodating to our busy schedule. The team she sent was absolutely wonderful, and we could not have asked for better. I’m very OCD, so I appreciate how thorough the team is. Another great thing is, items were not misplaced like our previous cleaners had the habit of doing… It was always a pain to put things back where they were. What a nice change! My 16mo old daughter loved them, too! Thank you ladies!

Martina was great! She got me set up with an appointment really quickly. I have a small apartment in San Clemente so she only sent 1 person. Karen was very fast and professional. She got the entire job done by herself in less than 3 hours and the place was immaculate. Would highly recommend Zest to anyone in Orange County!

This is a highly recommended house cleaning service! After seeing all the good reviews here, I’ve decided to go ahead and email Martina. She responded right away & was very polite & thorough in her explanations. She set me up with Karin which did an amazing job cleaning my 3-​story house. She was very nice & thorough. Highly recommended!

Me and my fiancé were a bit worried that we were not the usual customers for home cleaning, but Martina set us up perfectly and was extremely nice and helpful from the get-​go.
We live in an apartment in San Clemente, but my fiancé works as a nurse in the OR and I work as a government contractor on 12-​hour night shifts, so collectively we have pretty hectic schedules. Taking care of home chores on top of all that became somewhat of a stressor, when time at home is greatly needed as a time to rest and recharge for us.
Martina was so nice and met with us on a Sunday afternoon (the only day both of us were off and home during the day) and told us exactly how she could help.
Kate and Jacob come in once a month for us and do a wonderful job taking care of the detail work that we don’t get a chance to get to. They are extremely nice when I see them and they are very detail oriented. If there are any questions, they are easy to talk to and let them know if you need a certain area worked on, but to be honest I haven’t had to ask as they are alot more detail oriented than I am.
I would highly recommend them for any job, big or small!

I just want to take a few minutes to praise the customer service that Martina provided me for my move in cleaning. After the cleaning was done I thought that would be the end of it. However, Martina sent me a follow up e-​mail a few days later to ask me how it went. I told her that there were a few things that I thought could be a little cleaner. She was very concerned about my satisfaction and offered to come back with her crew and clean everything to my satisfaction. In retrospect I think I should have done a better job of communicating my cleaning needs during the initial cleaning so I’m very appreciative of the fact that they were willing to come back for additional cleaning. Not only does Zest do a great job but I think that they genuinely care about their customers. To me that means something. Thanks Martina!

I have been using Zest for a little over two months now and I couldn’t be more pleased. They are very professional in every sense of the word. The communication regarding timing and appointments is very clear and to my strict standards. Trust me, you don’t need to be there. No supervision is necessary. I think their own standards may even be higher than mine. They are very detail oriented and I love my clean home when they leave. I have complete faith and trust in Kate, Jacob and Martina. This group is unbelievable and I am so happy I found them.

I just had Kate and Jacob from Zest — San Clemente clean our family’s vacation home in South Orange County. They were terrific! They showed up a few minutes early and after a brief tour of the house, they jumped right in and did a fantastic job. The house hadn’t been cleaned for months, so there was a build-​up of accumulated dust and dirt. Now the place shines! Kate and Jacob even tidied up the towels in the bathroom, which I didn’t expect but really appreciated. Martina was really great about responding quickly to my email inquiry (through the company’s website) and working with me to schedule a date & time before Christmas so that the house would be ready for family. I will definitely be calling Zest again and I highly recommend Kate and Jacob.

Martina (and more recently, Katie and Jacob) has/​have been cleaning my house now for a total of three years — maybe longer — almost the whole time I’ve lived in Laguna Beach. Not only do they do a fantastic job, they need very little direction beyond the first visit, so even if I don’t have much time, they are great self starters and always get it right. They did the final finish-​up housecleaning when we left our old house and seamlessly transitioned into the new house as well. Our new house has more square footage than the old, so I don’t expect/​need the entire house to be done every week. They do a super job of knowing what does and doesn’t need to be done every visit and they manage to cover the whole house regularly. In addition they are very flexible when something needs to be done before/​after I’ve had visitors. Five thumbs up! No one better, or nicer, than this team!

I was in search of a reputable service that would take care when cleaning my home. I had been using another service and was just not happy with the attention to detail. So I searched on line and found Martina at Zest.
Kate and Jacob came to my house and did an AMAZING job! They really pay attention to the details. I couldn’t be happier. I now have them scheduled for regular cleaning.
I highly recommend Martina and her crew.

After trying out a few cleaning services for my mom’s condo, i was very happy to find Martina who is willing to travel to my area. Martina, Kate, and Jacob were very pleasant, on time, and do a wonderful job. Martina does a wonderful job communicating schedule, sends me reminders, which makes everything much easier. They are consistent in the quality of cleaning and punctual, there has been zero no shows, all schedule changes were communicated well ahead of time. I asked them to do the cleaning for my own place soon after that. Been very pleased with the service for the past 4 month!

I called Zest after having used another cleaning service because the person I really liked left the company. Martina was terrific. She promptly returned my call, scheduled a visit to see what I needed done and how I wanted it done. After she reviewed everything, she quoted me a price and we set up monthly cleanings with Kate and Jacob. They are fantastic. They do a very thorough job, listened to me on what products I wanted and our particular needs. They are on time, have my dates in their planners through December (when I will then schedule for next year). They are just really nice professionals. Home is spotless when they are finished. I highly recommend Zest for how it its managed and how professional the crew is.

I called Zest cleaning last minute to have some hard water stains cleaned on our shower doors. Martina was quick to respond and was able to set up an appointment within 24 hours.
Kate and Jacob arrived promptly and on the dot and got straight to helping our decrepit shower doors! Two hours later and they’re absolutely gleaming. I was so surprised by how well they were able to deep clean the doors and was also very impressed with their professionalism and timeliness.
I will definitely be recommending Zest cleaning to future clients, family and friends!

my husband and i are selling our home and i wanted a very thorough deep clean for staging the home and professional photographs. kate and jacob from ZEST came to our house were WONDERFUL. i called both eva and martina to try and schedule an appointment. they both responded within a few hours and martina was able to send a couple to my house on very short notice and work around my schedule.
kate and jacob arrived on time and allowed me to go through my list of things that were very important to me. they worked tirelessly for 5 hours to get my house the cleanest it has ever been! we thought it would only take 3 hours but after they started working i knew it would take longer. this obviously cost me more (paying an hourly rate) but i was happy to pay it for the work they did. i have regular house cleaners that come every two weeks and i am sorry i haven’t let them go sooner.
kate and jacob were EXTREMELY detail oriented and the cleaning they did was fantastic. i am very very very VERY picky about cleaning (and have been known to clean things after my previous house cleaners leave). i was so happy with their work and having them do this job well was a burden taken off of my shoulders amongst the work of preparing my house to put on the market. they were wonderful. the price was not cheap but was comparable to other professional cleaning services i called. again, for me, i was happy to pay the money for a job VERY WELL DONE. this is one happy customer.

Martina is fantastic. Friendly, professional and always ready to handle any kind of cleaning: fridge, pet, etc. She’s accommodating and flexible. Best of all, she’s a really great person that I can trust completely. Maybe it’s her European style and professionalism: she cares a lot about her work and always leaves the house impeccable. I have used many cleaning services before but have not yet found a service like hers. I actually found her on Unilocal because of all the reviews she received on her Zest Costa Mesa Unilocal.Martina goes above and beyond, even taking care of my cat when I’m away. I can’t recommend her more highly!

I switched from another service to Zest and I’m so glad I did. Martina not only cleans the house, she performs extra services too, including — one time — driving me to the airport! Her work is very good, a great value for the money, and she’s entirely trustworthy. I would recommend Zest without hesitation, and other customers I’ve referred to them are similarly pleased.
