Merry Maids

All the Merry Maid teams have shown initiative, responsibility and successful hard work. I have been satisfied with what they have done, especially because I am not on the schedule regularly and have different teams when I call. This must be difficult for them — each time feeling this is a «new» customer, a first time at another household — but they have done a terrific job!

The gals on Team 5 are fantastic on many different levels. They are thorough, friendly, and give some extra help (like taking my recyclables) without even being asked. I have called once and emailed twice about how great they are and I hope you have that info.

I always knew Mary Maids was expensive but it was only recently when I utilized their services that I learned how overpriced they are. The first time they cleaned my four room condominium, it cost $ 250. They did do a good job. However the second time they cleaned it costs $ 150 and they did a very mediocre job, including failing to clean the bathroom properly so that it had to be redone and failing to do such basic things as emptying the trash in the kitchen and bedrooms. When I called their manager to let her know that I was unhappy with their services, she made it very clear she didn’t care that I was unhappy or care about keeping my business. They won’t be cleaning for me a third time.

Huff the hand sanitizer. No really.
So, in full disclosure, I have never hired Merry Maids but my 2 friends just hooked up the MM’s to come in once every 2 weeks. My first thought was, «dude, yer gettin’ a maid? Whatever.» But if you saw these guys’ house when they lived in Highlandtown you’d think the place was never cleaned. And it wasn’t. We’re talking sweep/​mop/​dust/​vacuum/​etc. House never saw it. Oh and the bathroom. You could hear a fog horn in the distance when you stepped in.
FFW to their new dig in Station North. Enter Merry Maids.
Wow. It’s like their moms moved in. Place is nice and tidy and the floors are cleaned and trash is not overflowing and creating a rat’s nest.
Hey, thank you, Merry Maids. Y’all make my boys look like fine upstanding gentlemen. Well, at least their house is clean.
So I noticed that there was a small bottle of hand sanitizer compliments of Merry Maids. So I used it. Whoa! There’s some real chemically smell there. No lavender chamomile or nothing, just straight up chemical. Almost like an ether base. So… More hand sanitizer, cupped the hands and hooo-​weeee! It felt like the amyl nitrate scene from Fear and Loathing.
Mind you, it’s just a 15 second buzz and it’s some pretty harsh chemicals but hey. If ya don’t have any other more dignified inhalants around then the Merry Maids sanitizer comes in handy in a pinch. Just don’t go overboard, kids.
And stay in school.
