Ikechukwu U.

This was my first booking with patience, I was away for the weekend but we were able to communicate effectively and she followed all instructions. she did a great job cleaning the entire house. I’ll definitely book her again.

Pooja r.

Noabeth was very professional and quick. She was thorough and left the home clean and tidy. She was a bit noisy while working, I would have Prefered a bit of a soft hand. At the end of the day she got the job done. Thanks you for your service.

Nick R.

Very professional. Explicitly mention everything that needs to be cleaned and where things need to be put back. Cleans surfaces well.

Aditya M.

Very hardworking and customer service oriented. Did more than what was requested, and was fun to have around. Slightly clumsy, but in a fun way. One tip for the future: have more cleaning supplies. Some of his predecessors had advanced cleaning supplies, especially for the wet areas of the house, and add-ons like room fresheners. This will reduce his physical effort and increase the efficiency.

Lauren R.

Sara is amazing. Not only does she do an incredible job cleaning, but she’s relatable and great to be around. Would recommend her #1 to anyone.

Latisha G.

Zack is a good kid. He needs to learn to multitask and pay attention to detail in this line of work.

Kylie S.

Very detailed. Cleaned my moms house who is a little crazy and extremely picky and she was super happy

Gerry H.

Fernando is the absolute best! The most thorough cleaner I've had on handy and I hope to have him back! He gave it that extra touch!
