"The team was very professional and efficient with the cleaning. Everyone arrived on time with lovely personalities! They even cleaned things that I wouldn’t have thought about doing at all or forgot existed. I would request the service again in a heartbeat and I tend to use them moving forward every time :)"
"Jeremy showed up right on time. He cleaned the carpet so quietly and efficiently even our normally high strung dog didn't notice him much. He was up front about the things that could and couldn't be fixed and knowledgeable about cleaning carpet. We even had Pad Injection done at the site of a couple of really bad pet soiling areas. The whole house smells nice and clean now, and the carpets look great. There were a few spots that couldn't be gotten totally clean due to abuse on our part (really we should vacuum more often) but it looks fantastic. He took extra time at the end with his UV light to look for any remaining pet stains."
"Very professional all around! My house has never been cleaner! Very hard workers! I would recommend using this cleaning service! They have very affordable rates!"
"Very prompt and courteous customer service. Worked with my schedule and did great work. Went above and beyond and cleaned all flooring in my apartment and not just the carpet. Very impressed!"
"This company is great. They were prompt and professional. They seem like lovely people as well. You could not ask for a more polite service. They were able to get all the things I needed done pretty quickly and they made sure to check with me about any problem areas ahead of time. Expect service with a smile when dealing with R&D. When the job was completed they were packed up and ready to go with no fuss. We almost forgot they were there. Thank you both so much for everything! Expect to hear from me again!"
"They put together 2 pantry cabinets at different times. When I ordered the 2nd cabinet I requested them to do they work because I was so impressed with the skillset and also terrific customer service. I would highly recommend them for any project. They are very motivated to do a great job"
When hiring a housekeeper, prioritize candidates with proven experience and solid references. Look for background checks and ask for proof of insurance or bonding to protect your home. Discuss their cleaning process, the supplies they use, and whether they have any specialized training for surfaces like marble or hardwood. These steps help ensure your housekeeper is both skilled and trustworthy.
If you’re seeing many cobwebs inside your home, chances are you have a spider problem. Cobwebs are either abandoned spiderwebs or webs made by a member of the house spider species, but if you clean them with vacuuming or dusting, for example, and they reappear, then it points to an issue with spiders. Try using a natural DIY spider repellent or calling in a pest control service to help keep spiders out of your home.
Cash is typically preferred for a tip, especially for smaller companies and housecleaners, but many now accept check, credit, or payments through Venmo and Apply Pay. If you’re unsure, check with your cleaning company prior to their first visit in case you need to make a quick trip to the bank.
Most housekeepers are happy to tailor their cleaning checklist to fit your needs. Discuss your priorities and any special requests before the first visit. Be specific about areas of focus or spaces to avoid. Clear communication ensures your home is cleaned exactly as you like, maximizing the value of your investment.
Most DIY floor cleaners don’t require rinsing, but you’ll want to make sure you don’t add too much dish soap or oil to the cleaner to avoid having to rinse it after cleaning. For non-wood floors, mix 8 parts warm water, 1 part vinegar, and 1 part baking soda with a few drops of dish soap. For wood floors, use olive oil in that same mixture instead of the vinegar. You can let these solutions air-dry after cleaning your floors with them, although you should manually dry your floors if they aren’t waterproof.
