Exceptional Cleaning Services

This is a computer copy of my dealings with them:



Final note:  We are not using this company again. They did a lousy job.



They finally came a second time to "clean better" and it cost us an additional $80.00.  IT was a terrible job.  We had to pay another company to come in and clean and that cost us $200!

Rebecca,

I appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to resolve these issues.

 When you initially booked the appointment we had you scheduled for

Wednesday when we got clarification on the date I forgot to communicate that

Friday is one of our busier days, which we generally have a 1 hour window for

appointment arrival.  I would like to personally apologize for any

inconvenience this may have caused.   Now we are clear about the type

of service you will need. In the future, we would like to spend more time

detailing the properties you schedule with us.  As I mentioned to Joe, for

the next booking we should schedule days and times that are a little slower.

 



 Again,

thanks for working with Exceptional Cleaning Services, I hope you will give our

company a chance to make it up to you.  Feel free to email or call me at

408-455-4486 for any scheduling issues or questions moving forward. 



 Sincerely, 





 Tanisha

Billops

Re:      Cleaning Services @ 1904 Hamilton, San Jose



Dear Tanisha:

I am writing you regarding the cleaning that was performed at the above

referenced property today.  As I told you when we initially spoke, we are

looking for a regular cleaning company to service all of our cleaning

needs.  With the amount of rentals we have, in my opinion, it would be a

good account for you to acquire.  I would like to bring a few issues to

your attention and see if these issues can be resolved which will allow us to

work together again for our future rental cleaning needs.



I received a call at 10:15 stating the cleaners were running late and would be

about 15 minutes behind schedule.  My boss, Joe Tesoro called me at 10:30

inquiring where the cleaning crew was.  I then called your office and was

told by the receptionist that she would find out the status of the crew and

call me right back.  I never received a return call.  When

your cleaning crew finally arrived, they were 45 minutes late.  When Mr.

Tesoro called your offices to bring up the late arrival, (I am not sure if he

talked to you or not) he was told ?Rebecca was notified that there is a one

hour window for the cleaning crew to show up.?  I was never notified of a

one hour window during any of our conversations prior to today?s

cleaning.   I took notes of our entire conversation and read your

website and had no knowledge of a one hour window. 



Second, when scheduling this appointment, I informed you that it was a 1900 sq. ft., 2

bedroom, 2 bath unit.  I told you that the appliances, kitchen cupboards,

windows, blinds, showers, tubs, wood floors and mirrors all had to be cleaned

as it is a college rental and we need it cleaned for rental showings. 

When the cleaning was completed, Mr. Tesoro arrived to inspect the unit

apparently having already talked to you.  He inspected the unit and said

for the amount of time the cleaners were there they did an ok job but it is not

to the extent of cleaning we believed we were going to receive.  I told

you in my email of November 4th that if upon arriving your staff

believes the unit is larger than expected, or it looks as if it will take more

time, to just give me a call and we can negotiate a higher rate.  I never

received a call stating there was a problem with the size of the unit or that

they believed it would take them longer than expected.  We have no problem

paying more, we just need it cleaned to the standards I outlined during our

booking appointment.



Mr..Tesoro noted the following items that were not cleaned to his expectations:

?  The refrigerator was

completely untouched ? it still had food in it that had not been discarded and

the inside of the refrigerator was dirty.



?  The appliances were not

cleaned at all.



?  The master blinds were dirty

and dusty -  you could see the dirt just by looking.  To the touch

they were definitely not cleaned.



?  The other blinds were dirty

as well.



?  Mirrored doors were cloudy

and smudgy and they were not cleaned very well.



?  The shower and shower door

was dirty and the tub had residue left behind.



?  The door leading out the

front of the unit and out the back of the unit were filthy.



?  The light switch covers were

not cleaned or sanitized.



When quoted for this appointment, I specifically told you the appliances needed to

be cleaned as well as the blinds and the bathrooms.  If it was a matter of

your booking times, such as you expected this appointment to last only 2 hours

and the cleaning crew did what they could in the two hours they were there, I

understand why these items were not satisfactory.  I tried to avoid a

problem like this such as asking you for a specific bid of services or quote,

so that I could verify in writing what was included in the cleaning so there

wouldn?t be any issues.  I also told you that if it was more than

bargained for to call me and we would negotiate a different amount.  



How can we resolve this issue?  I would like to give Exceptional Cleaning

Services an opportunity to resolve this by coming back and cleaning thoroughly.

So the doors, windows, appliances, mirrored doors, showers, tubs, floors, light

switch covers, that everything is clean and sanitized.  If that costs us a

little more money, then that can be negotiated.  We just want it done

right a
