Christine and Linda were very personable. They called to say that they had run into some traffic, but were delayed by mere couple of minutes. Their punctuality was much appreciated. However, when shown around the house they did not let me know how much they could do well in three hours time. Understanding that I had been unable to tend to the house for a couple of months, the dust and fur was heavy, however, I would have appreciated being told that the level of cleaning would be cursory at best given the size of the house and time allotted. Had I known I would have downscaled the scope and opted for less areas better cleaned, than what I got after three hours, which was most areas "touched". Maybe my expectations were too high, but for future, I would suggest all parties clearly discuss what their expectations are to know if they realistic.

One person was assigned to clean our home. The person didn't arrive at the time specified and my husband had to come back home to let them in. (They did drive quite a distance to get to our home). Since I have a background in property management/housekeeping, I did "inspect" the job done when I arrived home. She did a nice job, including wiping down baseboards and window ledges. While there were a couple of small details not caught, I will have her back for another visit and cross my fingers.
Description of Work: House cleaning included washing kitchen and bathroom floors, dusting, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and kitchen. Polishing furniture and mirrors.

No mechanism for quality control. No written agreement specifying what would be cleaned. Very difficult to get response from owner. Numerous phone calls left on answering maching and never received a reply. The workers did a fairly good job but could never get a written agreement as to what they would do and how much it would cost.

All of the cleaners have been very polite. Some did not show up on time as promised but they did eventually come even if they were hours late. All of them have cleaned my home better than my previous service, but sometimes the quality/level of cleaning has been inconsistent. The current cleaning team is fantastic; they show up on time, they scrub every corner and crevice, including removing cobwebs, and they clean things that the other cleaning people did not do. This team cleans as well as if not better than my mother does! My only concern is whether they will continued to be assigned to clean my home. The owner is very responsive to my phone calls if I have questions, issues, comments, or problems. Concerns or problems have been addressed promptly. The price is reasonable.

I used Angie's list to search for Housecleaning services. This company seemed to have a good reputation. However, I have left messages for them concerning cleaning our home and did not have my calls returned. I find that very unprofessional.

I have used them twice. Once for a deep cleaning & once for a basic clean. I was disappointed to see some things not cleaned (windows) but now I understand they don't do windows. There was a mold & soap scum spot left in the shower (twice now & I've left a note about it). There were some spots not dusted, a few cobwebs, & some finger marks on walls. I'm just not "feeling" it, as they say. Both times I would say OK service, but for $100 plus a pop for cleaning an already basically clean house, I'm not thrilled. Not sure it's worth it.

I needed a cleaning job done quickly before my open house. I called and left a message and within a short time received a return call and was given a flat rate over the phone. The rate was very close to estimates given by companies that provided hourly rates. Unlike the other companies, Clean as a Whistle was able to do the job next day so I hired them. They arrived on time and were friendly and professional. I was pleased a two person crew arrived as it cut down the overall time significantly. They quickly cleaned the house from top to bottom, working around me as I did my own last minute preparations to the house. Overall, the quality of the work was very good with a couple of missed spots here and there but nothing significant. After my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to my friends and family.
Description of Work: This job entailed a complete cleaning of my 3 bed, 1.5 bath home to prepare it for show. The house was completely empty, and the crew cleaned every room.
