They are human so every time isn't prefect, but they are better than most. They are dependable and will come even if we are gone. We do not worry about the employees of English Maids, LLC.

I've been using English Maids for about seven years, after I broke my wrist. They cleaned my house on a regular basis until my wrist healed. Since then, I've used them on an "as needed" basis. They do a excellent job whether you're a regular client, or an "as needed" client. They do a deep cleaning when I haven't had them for awhile. Ceiling fans, baseboards, plantation shutters, window sills, corner cobwebs, etc... All the women who have come to my home work hard and are very nice. When they're finished, my house looks and smells wonderful. I highly recommend English Maids!

"Mrs. [Member Name Removed], I apologize that you were unhappy with one of the cleaning member’s performance. After your service was completed we offered to return and correct the issue, but you elected to take a discount instead since it was minor issues and you stated you were overall pleased with our services. I also want to apologize that we were unable full-fill your request to set up biweekly cleanings on Mondays or Tuesdays because of scheduling conflicts. Due to the distance of your home from town we are only able to clean in your area on Thursdays and Fridays. If these cleaning days work for your schedule in the future please let us know. Sincerely, Lauren English"

I paid $150 for what they consider a "deep cleaning" which was supposed to be two hours. They never explained what they were or weren't going to do and what they charged extra for. Usually when I think of deep cleaning I think of normal cleaning plus extra. To start off I had my appointment set for Wednesday at 1pm-3pm. At 3 they still hadn't showed up so I called to find out what was going on. Lauren told me the previous appointment had ran over and they were on their way. I never once got a call to say "hey, were running late but we will be there as soon as we can." Then when they finally arrived they asked where to start and I said my room but please don't vacuum yet because my daughter is sleeping in the next room. They started at 3:25pm. 30 minutes after they started one of the ladies pulled out the vacuum and started vacuuming the carpet while my daughter was still sleeping. This is the full list of things they did. Dust, vacuum, change sheets, toilets, mirrors, tubs, ceiling fans, sweep, mop, dining table, counters, stove top, and sink. They "finished" and left at 5:05pm. Things they did NOT do; dust properly( there was still dust on ceiling fans, shades, and lights), dishes(they said that was $25 extra), laundry, vacuum properly(there was food still on the carpet all along the bottom of my daughters bed so they could clean her room(I woke her up when they started vacuuming my room)), wiping off the dining table(there was still food stuck on it). When I spoke with Lauren the next day to pay(they were closed by time they left) she asked how it went. When I told her what happened she said I'm sorry we didn't get to explain things properly. I paid $150 for a crap cleaning with a s*** excuse for an apology. I had a move out cleaning scheduled for December with them but after this I canceled it. I guess ill have to just do it myself. This put us back a lot of money and then I had to do it all properly myself!
Response from

"Hi [member name removed], We originally had you scheduled for a move out cleaning in December. Last week you called and requested a two hour cleaning in addition to the move out which we promptly scheduled. We have a two hour minimum with no maximum time for our on call cleanings. The customer budgets our time and we clean as quickly as possible to accomplish the tasks requested. You requested two hours and the cleaning team did their best within the time allowed. I apologize for our tardiness, the holidays can be a little chaotic, however that does not excuse our lack of communication. The office was not aware the schedule was behind or we would have contacted you ASAP. Communication with our customers is very important to our company. I am a little surprised at your post because before the cleaning team left they asked if there was anything else they could do for you and you told them everything looked good. The next day you told me the only thing that did not get done was the laundry and dishes and all the rest of the cleaning i.e. baseboards, vents, blinds were cleaned. I explained to you that laundry and dishes are not part of our normal routine. Our time was somewhat hindered due to us having to pick up the house as we cleaned. It is very important to us that our customers are pleased with our services. Again, I apologize for the lack of communication in regards to the schedule that day. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. Sincerely, Lauren English"

They do a great job. I love coming home from work on the days they clean because my house is picked up and sparkling! We have dogs, so we accumulate Lots of dog hair! They do a great job of cleaning that up! It might seem silly, but I especially love how they fold the toilet paper into a cute little triangle. It makes me feel like I'm at a luxury hotel!
