I called Luxury Maids Inc., to have the whole house cleaned following the installation of new windows. I had cleaned the house myself for several weeks following installation, but I wanted a deeper cleaning to get dust left in corners, base boards, under beds, and on the frames of pictures, mirrors and windows. I mentioned this, and also sent a list of things I wanted to be sure were not missed, such as wiping fingerprints around light switches and door knobs and mold in the grout and corners of the showers.
The upstairs is about 900 square feet, (3 bedrooms and two baths). The downstairs is about 1300 square feet including kitchen, half bath, living room-dining area, laundry room and tv room. I was given an estimate of 5 hours for two people at $60 an hour, ($30 each) with a 10% Angie's list discount ($270.00) . The two ladies and their supervisor came promptly at 8am, I gave them a quick tour and left for work. At 1pm I got a call saying they had not started the downstairs yet, and needed two more hours ($120.00). I found it strange that they asked for two extra hours to clean 1300 feet downstairs when they spent 5 hours to clean 900 feet upstairs. I did not authorize any more time. At 1:30pm I got another call saying they had given me an extra half hour but needed another hour because they had not touched the kitchen. Again, I did not authorize more time.
When I got home, and checked the job, I found it was mostly clean upstairs, but there was mold in the grout of the shower and fingerprints on two doors. I didn't notice anything had been cleaned downstairs. Maybe they vacuumed, but I had just vacuumed two days before. I was disappointed.
When I got the invoice, I was surprised to see a bill for $335.00 with a $35.00 courtesy discount for that extra half an hour. I responded with what I had been quoted, and the bill was corrected. I expressed my disappointment with the fact that only half the house was done after spending 10 combined hours on 900 square feet upstairs. They responded that the condition of the house caused them to take more time than they thought, because there was a lot of \"thick dust\". The truth is, there was a thin layer of dust in the places mentioned above. Nevertheless, whether there is a lot or a little dust, cleaning it off requires the same amount of effort. They did ask what they could do to make it right, but they would have had to come back to clean the other half of the house. A second email from me asking what they did that took so long, went unanswered.
I once supported myself by cleaning houses, so I know how long it takes to clean. I can not imagine why it took so long for two people to clean such a small space. (and they missed some things on the list). I had hoped that if I paid top dollar and got someone from Angie's list I would not be disappointed, but I was.
Update: Graciela sent a team out at no extra cost to clean the downstairs. Two ladies came at 7:45am and left at 11:45am. They did a thorough job this time.

We brought in a large Karastan rug that we had bought off of Craigslist. We were very pleased with the cleaning and the fringe repair. Also, the owner gave us a tour of the facility - it’s immaculate. We would definitely use Bedrosian again.

Cleaned the Windows, sills, floors, doors, walls, etc. I have been using the Divas for about 9 months. My house has never been cleaner. I also have two cats, one which is not always so nice. The Divas are always able to do a beautiful job and make sure the cats are not stressed.

Max & Mari were punctual, respectful, timely and thorough. They cleaned everything - starting with the top floor and working down to the lowest level of my home. As this was the first cleaning that they did for my home, there were a few things they didn't know and asked me where things went...

FAQs for oriental rug cleaning projects in Holmdel, NJ
You can use rug shampoo on an oriental rug, but you need to make sure you use a natural, non-abrasive shampoo. While other carpets made from synthetic fiber can stand up to harsh chemicals, the natural material—sheep’s wool, cotton, silk, or camel hair—that goes into an oriental rug will break down and get damaged if they come in contact with traditional rug shampoos. In many cases, it’s best to let a professional assess your carpet and determine which gentle shampoo would be most appropriate.
The average cost to have a professional clean an oriental rug is around $6per square foot, and most cleaners charge between $5 and $9 per square foot. The size of your rug will be a major factor when it comes to cleaning costs. For example, a 6x9 foot rug will cost $320 on average, while a 9x12 foot rug will cost $650 or more.
The state of your oriental rug will also play a role, as rugs that are excessively dirty and haven’t been cleaned in years will take longer to clean and, therefore, cost more.
It’s possible to clean an oriental rug yourself, but it’s not recommended for two reasons. First, most DIYers only have access to rug shampoos and equipment like steam cleaners, which won’t provide the same deep clean that an industrial machine that shakes dust and dirt out of the fibers would. Second, using any harsh chemicals or shampoos that aren’t specifically made for oriental rugs could damage the material. It’s often a better idea to get an oriental rug professionally cleaned, as this reduces the risk of damage and provides a better clean.
