Until last summer, I'd been a happy customer of Cathy's basically for the past 7 years. Our cleaners have always been wonderful, our house cleaned excellently, and I never had any issues with the main office. However, since last summer - while our cleaner continues to be amazing - the office and management of the business has tanked. The office is non-responsive, doesn't return calls, and bills incorrectly and erratically. I'm tired of that and I'm done. It seems like the management must have completely changed, and or new staff is not trained at all. Either way, sadly, I don't have time for that. I half expect to be fighting with them over incorrect bills for the *next* 6 months even thought I've cancelled since I've been fighting with them about it for the last 6 months. Wish me luck.

They do a good job for the price. I like my cleaning lady, and I like paying monthly

I have had several mediocre experiences with Cathy Cleans. When it's done poorly, Cathy will send the girls back out to clean whatever they didn't clean.  The problem lies in the fact that I make sure things are picked up before the crew comes so they can get straight to cleaning...and then they don't clean!  I got home at 1:00 am this morning from a trip, and at 9:00 a.m., packed the kids in the car so we would be out of the way of the cleaners. We headed out of the house for a few hours, only to come home to a house that wasn't clean. The master bedroom, playroom, and living room were not dusted. The dust from this morning is still staring at me.  I've given this company plenty of chances with them blaming it on "new girls".  Well, I suggest you train them better before you send them out, and check the entire house before you leave. I am so disappointed.  $100 and hours of a day down the drain. I would not recommend this company.

We used Cathy's Cleaning for six months and went through two cleaners. The first cleaner took an exorbitantly long time to clean and was very sloppy. Our next cleaner was much more meticulous, however, stole several items from us. Needless to say, we will not be using Cathy's Cleaning or any cleaning service again after these experiences.

The employees were non English speaking and one of them was supposed to be telling the others what to do. I felt that they did not clean as they said they would, especially in the kitchen. I felt they were inattentive, and the head woman was on the phone quite a lot.

I called them several times, and left voicemails. Nobody ever called be back or answered my messages. I ended up having to do the work myself.
Response from Cathy's Cleaning Service
"Sorry to hear you had a bad experience, but we do believe this posting is for another Cathy's Cleaning based out of Arizona. Cathy's Cleaning Service is a family owned business servicing home in the Maryland and Jacksonville, Florida area. The office is open 50 hours per week. We have at least 2 people in the office at all times answering the phones. If any messages are left via voice mail overnight, they are returned the next morning. We work very hard to maintain a high level of customer service on a daily basis. So after reviewing this posting, we do believe this is an error."

not well-I gave Cathy's cleaning service several tries and spent over $1000.00 (about 5 times). The first time they sent someone who never cleaned for them and she spent 7 hours doing a terrible job. They sent someone out to inspect the next day who agreed and cleaned the house. This person did an excellent job but could never clean again because she was booked. I gave them several chances to find someone else and it was a nightmare dealing with the inexperienced service. Spending $275.00 for 6-7 hours of work was too much. Also, the company is dishonest. They would call the company from the car when they pulled up to the house to clock in and then when they returned to the car. This added 30 minutes to the actual time they cleaned. I was careful to clock it since I felt there was a decrepency.

Went really well. The cleaners were very nice and pleasant even though the house was a mess... They cleaned the kitchen, 2 full and 2 half baths, 3 bedrooms, and a basement. They vacuumed, dusted, and mopped. They did an overall great job.

Renee worked diligently.  There was no idle chit-chat.  She worked within the prescribed time and left the home spotless.  I will definitely call on Cathy's Cleaning Service again!

I have just started using Cathy's service. I have been impressed by their clear start-up process, structured pricing and efficient and immediate response. Kat is the lady that comes to my home and she is enthusiastic, efficient, takes quick note of my preferences and responds quickly to my suggestions or requests for specific tasks to be done. She is pleasant and professional.I would highly recommend this service.

I have been using them for over a year now and they come every other week to clean.  They are very friendly on the phone and very easy to deal with.  The woman that cleans the house is very friendly and I treat her like part of the family.  She is very friendly my kids and the prices are very reasonable.  I will use them again in the future.

They were professional and trustworthy and they did an excellent job every time.  I paid for a whole days work, and they were wonderful.  I would highly recommend them; I think they are the best cleaning service around.

They have found a wonderful person to clean my home, it took a couple of people before we found the right fit. Cathy was very proactive in making sure she found the correct person for my situation. Everyone has been extremely pleasant and professional, I would highly recommend this company.

Cathy's Cleaning started out great, but gradually declined in quality. They aren't horrible for the price, but under the couches was never swept, the bathroom/kitchen corners always had build-up, even when I asked for them to be specifically cleaned. I'd rather pay $20 more and have better quality.
Response from Cathy's Cleaning Service
"I am sorry to hear of this. I wish we were told so that we could take care of this right away. Our gaurantee still stands, if you would like to give us another try."
