"Three ladies came to my home and cleaned every single surface, doors, frames, baseboards, floors, the kitchen and bath in 6 1/2 hours total. They did an excellent job and got a few tough areas I had not been able to get completely clean. I clean very well, but didn't want to spend the time to do the whole house at this time. Usually cleaning services do not clean as well as I do, but E & E did a better job than I do myself. It was a bit pricey, but they did such an incredible job I cannot really complain about the cost."
