    Default Maids/Cleaner 2015

    Starting a new thread as the other ones are old.
    Neatfreak has been beyond recommended for quite some time now but unfortunately $42/man hour is too much for me. I don't need a Rolls Royce service. Just a tidy as I'm home just to sleep, more dusting than anything. I would appreciate someone that did laundry as well, don't really find those with the cleaning companies. Don't judge me for asking that

    Looking for a monthly clean, for some reason people horde their good cleaners for fear they'll get too busy. DON'T HORDE BEYOND! Share the wealth. From my research so far its 20-25/hr so that sounds fair to me

    From what I know, you want to find the "little old lady down the street" kind of setup. I don't know of any company that provides this.

    I've been with Neatfreak for a long time now, and I agree, it's surprising how much it works out to per hour. They are for sure charging a major premium.
    That being said, they've never missed a day.

    Any update? Anyone recently?

    I need a good top to bottom clean 1700sq.ft. I have used NeatFreak in the past and they are good albeit pricey however they haven't gotten back to me this time.

    This is what I'm talking about, someone's mom, local to the area, reasoinable hourly rate.

    Also, I'm fighting so hard to stop from making a "rich's mom!" joke right now.

    Well I just need a one time clean top to bottom since I'm selling my house. I guess after I move out she can do another one too so I deliver the house clean to the buyer.

    My parents use Maids in blue, I think their hourly rate seems pretty high but my parents say they pay based on the number of bedrooms , they seem to be pretty happy with the service so far

    I recommend you be extra extra extra clear with Neatfreak on individual charges if you use them again. I had them do my post move-out clean and carpet cleaning, when I asked for a quote for both services I was told $350, now my bad for not clarifying but I did get hit with an unexpected $250 charge to clean the carpets. No response when I emailed them about it either. Had I known this beforehand I would have found the extra 90 minutes somewhere to do my move out clean up myself and all I would have had them do was the carpets.

    I took a look at their site. It's like 400ish dollars to clean my house and do a load of laundry
    Too much IMO, I need a part time person looking for some extra cash

    I checked nannyservices.ca........ what kind of work are some of those cleaners looking for. If it was free to use I wouldn't be asking here haha

    This is the lady we've been using for 2 years now and were really happy with her. She charges $25.00hr and has all her own supplies. Shes never missed an appt and available on short notice. Krista-403-991-4082. She's filipino and so are all her staff.

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    If I just need a one-time clean does it really matter who I pick? Price doesn't matter too much, I just want a super thorough house cleaning.

    Yes it absolutely does matter lol

    Anyone can be a cleaner with $100 in supplies and no experience. If price doesnt matter and you want a thorough cleaning id call servpro, we had them do a complete clean and they did not miss a sq/inch.

    That's what I'm looking for I will keep Servpro in mind.

    Ambers Cleaning = Average IMO

    Going to try out Maids in Blue next for a thorough top to bottom deep clean.
