Clean & Shine Housekeeping Services

I wish I was here writing a great review for Marta but unfortunately she canceled on me 1.5 hours before she was due to come over to clean my house. We had planned to meet a couple of Saturdays ago and she cancelled then but came last Saturday to take a look at our place and we set a time for 1pm today. My husband’s parents are in town plus a number of other guests are coming and we were so excited to have a spotless place to show them.
I couldn’t even understand her reason for canceling but it seemed to me that she was just having a bad day and didn’t feel like cleaning my apartment. I didn’t get any good reason out of her which is extremely disappointing. She half heartedly offered to call one of her friends but really, I don’t want anything to do with her or anyone she recommends.
Shady. Do not recommend at all.

I cannot say enough about Martha. She’s reliable, reliable, trust-​worthy, and reliable.
Honestly, I can clean my place like no kidding. However — I’ve *never* gotten my place ‘You can eat off of the floor’ clean, the way that Martha does! Devoid of dirt, grime, and dust — that is the Martha way! ¡Dios mio, que bueno!
OK, so — I joke a lot — but not about Martha’s hard-​working attitude, cheerfulness, and superior scheduling abilities. She’s great — I feel lucky to have her work for me! ¡Muy fantastico!

Marta just cleaned my apartment this past Saturday. It’s a 1 BR in Hayes Valley. We mentioned we needed a deep clean. However, as it turns out, there were also some insects in the unit, too.
Marta dealt with everything cheerfully and thoroughly. She made the bathroom shine, found some key areas in the bedroom that were in deep need of cleaning, ensured the kitchen floor was spotless, helped kill and rid us of the insects, and helped me ensure every corner of the living room had been cleaned.
The price was fair, her work was excellent, and she is very trustworthy. Thank you, Marta!

The short of it: she’s very friendly, she’s thorough as heck, and her prices are reasonable! Call Marta and she’ll make your place look good enough to bring a date home, invite friends over, or even show your parents — without any of them knowing how lazy you really are.
The long of it: in late March 2009, Marta cleaned my former apartment 2 days before I moved out. She estimated it would take 2 & ½ hours to get the large studio (plus separate kitchen & dining spaces, appliances, hardwood floors, bathroom tile, tub, etc.) fully cleaned.
She ended up cleaning for 4 hours (!!!) and paid attention to all kinds of small details around the place… and she only charged me for the initial estimate.
When I did the final walkthrough with the building manager that week, he was genuinely shocked — not only did he say that he couldn’t remember a tenant leaving an apartment in such perfect condition upon moving out, but that the place looked like I hadn’t even lived in it these last 3 & ½ years. My deposit was fully refunded — I should have given Marta a cut of that check.
Call Marta now. She’ll save your ass and give your home some class.

Martha is incredible! I can’t convey this enough. I have called upon her services many times and every time is a superb job!
I most recently had Martha over for move-​out cleaning. She arrived early and went straight to work. I was moving out my furniture, and heading to and from my new place, and all the while Martha was continuing on making every room sparkle! I always get the full deposit back, and I am so thankful for Martha!
I have recommended her to friends. She is amazing. AMAZING!

I have used her services for everything from routine housekeeping, gardening, party and event setup and breakdown to organizing my kitchen, storage and basement. I am very happy with her work. She is thoough and dependable. A gem!

Martha is absolutely tops. She is dependable, professional, very thorough, and most importantly, a pleasure to work with. What’s more, she goes above and beyond with special, personal touches each time she cleans, and always leaves the house sparkling. I highly, highly recommend her services.
