They are VERY responsive to any requests or concerns, and the quality of the cleaning is top notch. They have been flexible and worked with me as my schedule changes, and their price is well worth the work they do. I can HIGHLY recommend this business.

We have used M & WR for over 10 years for biweekly cleaning. The crew is always courteous. I appreciate the calls reminding me of their visit. They have been very accommodating when we request a schedule change or extra cleaning. Would definitely recommend them to others.

We have been totally satisfied with M&WR crews for more than 10 years. Their pricing is fair and reasonable. We continue to recommend M&WR to family and friends and now to Angie's List too.

They made some dents in my floor. The price was good but considering the issue, I got what I paid for. Their responsiveness was great. 

The work itself was a bit spotty and not done exactly the way I had asked. The cleaners were absolutely nice and courteous.

To improve, I think they need to improve on how to take care of floors..

Initially, their service was fine. As time went on, items became damaged in my home and M&WR Cleaning has not taken the appropriate actions to fix the items they damaged. They do not believe that the damage was caused by their people, however the incidents of damage only occurred on the days their crews were in our house. Since M&WR Cleaning refuses to take responsibility, they have refused to repair items or otherwise compensate for loss. Damaged items ranged from a mirror, a jewelry box, and our kitchen countertops. Once we cancelled our service and started using another company, we have had no further incidents.
Response from M & WR CLEANING CONTRACTORS
"We started servicing the [Member Name Removed] home in June of 2015. All of the sudden in July (all in one month) of 2016 several different types of damages happened through out the home. First was the oven knob to the stove. We purchased and replaced a new knob for the [Member Name Removed]. We also offered to repair and/or replace the mirror hanging wire and D ring, and the jewelry box as well. We were told not to worry about it. Then the kitchen countertop was brought to my attention. I personally went to look at the counter. I stated to Mrs. [Member Name Removed] the damage done to the countertop surface did not appear to me to have been caused by my staff. However, I told her if she provided me with information of where the counter was purchased and what kind of countertop surface it was, I could look into the possibility of buffing out the scratches. We finally received a photo of the countertop brochure and where it was purchased. We contacted Home Depot. They requested for a picture of the damage. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] sent us a picture. After sending all the required information Home Depot needed, they advised us it did not appear the damage could have been done from cleaning. We decided to contact other countertop companies for more opinions. We contacted the Granite Center and The Countertop Guru. They both had the same opinion; the damage could not have been done from a sponge or towel. We even asked, "what if a Brillo pad was used with Comet?" Again, we were told the type of scratches on the countertop could have not been done from cleaning. Some sort of sharp object; like a knife, was used on the countertop without any protection underneath (cutting board). I forwarded the emails Home Depot and the Granite Center sent to us to Mrs. [Member Name Removed]. The Countertop Guru offered to go and personally speak to Mrs. [Member Name Removed] about it. She refused to schedule an appointment with him. I do not believe a company should pay for any damage which was not done by that company."

Once I contacted M&WR Cleaning Contractors, Carla was quick to answer any of my questions and was able to get me a date to set up to meet her to go over everything that I needed. Once we met, a date was quickly set up. The day came for my home to be cleaned and everyone showed up on time. The ladies were extremely professional and they worked quick all while getting the requests I made for cleaning done well. I would highly recommend them and I plan on using them again soon! Great customer service, and great attention to details. Thank you!

We utilized M&WR Cleaning Contractors for 18 months for our house cleaning services. When you request an estimate, someone from M&WR will visit your home, perform a walkthrough, and give an estimate for the work required and the services that are offered. We signed up for a monthly house cleaning of a three-level single family home.
The house cleaners are very courteous and show attention to detail. Cleanings were well done at first, but we noticed a drop in precision as time wore on. Nevertheless the cleaners would quickly address our concerns when we raised them. As we were told by the owner, it is best to ensure you have the same cleaning crew each time you schedule a cleaning so they learn your home and what is expected. It is not advisable to change appointments without ensuring you get the same team that services your home on a regular basis. You receive a 24-hour notice via phone or e-mail prior to your cleaning so you can prepare. Same-day cancellations and reschedules result in a $25.00 fee.
Payment is easy via credit card online.

I had used M & WR Cleaning twice in 2014 and were very satisfied with he quality of their cleaning.
On this occasion I assume the cleaning went well (i.e.,  no complaints from my new tenants).  
However, on this job the original invoice I received was for $300.00, not the $150.00 for the cleaning.
Because the cleaners were unable to access the unit they were forced to return.  In fairness I was okay with
paying for their additional travel time, although the one hour and 20 minute additional charge seemed excessive.
I was also asked to pay for a 40 minute wait period while they attempted to contact me.  I never approved the waiting on the first visit, and honestly believed the charge for waiting was unfair.  
I called Liza to explain my concerns but agreed nonetheless to pay $250.00, which I believed was more than fair.
Days after the check was mailed, Carla, the owner sent me an email to say she was reducing the charge to accommodate my concerns. 
I thought the issue was settled, but yesterday I received another email from Carla saying I owed another $12.50?
Today I called  M & WR Cleaning (Liza) to say I considered the issue closed.  She agreed.
FUTURE: Although I will continue to use M & WR to clean my rental units, I strongly recommend the others work out the details of what will be charged for "travel time", and "wait time " if appropriate.


Response from M & WR CLEANING CONTRACTORS
"Thank you for your feedback, [Member name removed]. We do have a Broken Appointment Fee for clients which forget to leave a key, the door unlocked, etc., and we are not able to gain access to the home. In your case when the crew arrived the front desk denied access because our name was not on their vendor list for your unit for that day. Liza did ask the crew to wait while she contacted you and the front desk. After the crew waited for 30 minutes and still no response from you or the front desk the crew was asked to leave. By the time you called the crew was on the toll road passing the Herndon exit. You and Liza spoke and it was understood the cleaning needed to be done by Monday. Since we were already booked Monday (and we do not operate weekends), you offered to pay their travel time. Liza asked the crew to turn around and go back to Arlington. The travel time from Sterling to Arlington can take over an hour one way depending on traffic. They essentially drove from Sterling to Arlington twice that day. Liza should have clarified what was necessary to charge and also marked the invoice as paid since our billing program automatically sends out unpaid invoices."

The windows cleaning girls were awesome. They arrived on time and realized the doublepane windows wer full of dirt, paint brush marks and covering of a second storm window at each location. They didn't even shirk the effort, but asked for help to lift the storm windows out (heavy), then dug in and cleaned every window and door pane to make them crystal clear. I don't know what liquid they used, but it even removed etched in dirt inthe westfacing windows. Charged $270 or so for all of it. The carpet cleaner guy was the opposite. This carpet is two years old from a reputable store. He started late, amde excuses for what he could do with the equipment he had and didn't bring the fragrance additive I ordered to go with the cleaning. He went through the cleaning fromthe back bedrooms to front, did well inthe hallway to clean the carpet, but then for some reason rushed through the living room, leaving a big dark area 10 x 12' unclean and instead of runing his equipment over it againafter we pointed it out, said he couldn't get that out if he tried again - then left in hurry. Charged $27 for 600sg ft . It's unfortunate that we have to rate this company lower because of the carpet cleaning guy, because the "girls" work was truly exceptional.
Response from M & WR CLEANING CONTRACTORS
"Your feedback is greatly appreciated, [Member name removed]. While our residential cleaning products are green we do carry Heavy Duty cleaning products (industrial cleaners) for special projects. For window cleanings we do use a product which is much stronger than windex. We encourage our girls to ask for help when they feel something is too heavy or looks fragile. In regards to our carpet guy he may have felt there was no hope for the stain. Depending on what the stain is there is a chance it will not come up or even fade. He should of communicated if he felt this was the case but nonetheless he could of tried again."

We hired M&WR to do a detailed cleaning of our home, which had not been professionally cleaned in a long time.  We have several children and pets so the home was in desperate need of cleaning.  We hired M&WR to do a one time detailed cleaning to get the house back into a maintainable state.  The crew spent the entire day working, and the cleaning was done thouroughly and professionally. I was extremely satisfied with the results.  My home hasn't looked this good in years.  Based on the results of the one time detailed cleaning, we will be using M&WR for bi-weekly house cleaning from now on.  From the beginning, Carla at M&WR was very responsive, friendly, and professional to work with, and made the process of getting an estimate and scheduling the cleaning very easy.  I wish all companies were this enjoyable to work with.  I have used several cleaning companies over the years, and most were similar - not horrible, but certainly not great.  M&WR is a standout, and I highly recommend them.
Response from M & WR CLEANING CONTRACTORS
"[Member name removed] is a wonderful client. We try our best to satisfy, accommodate everyone with their specific needs. It greatly helps when the client is detailed with their specifics and flexible as well. The way you started your service is the best way to start your routine maid service. We encourage to start with a Detailed Maid Service and then go right into a routine Basic Maid Service. We also recommend to schedule a Detailed Maid Service once a year. This is the best way to maintain the home."

Starting with the scheduling, Carla was extremely responsive and I was able to schedule one of the days that was my preference, with just a few days' notice.  She gave me a half hour time frame in terms of when they would arrive and they came right on time.  I didn't stay while they worked but did have a couple of questions -- i.e., how they clean hardwood floors because I'm pretty picky about mine.  They answered my questions and were friendly and cheerful despite the fact that my appointment was late in the day.  I left with the feeling that they were going to do a great job.  And when I came home I was definitely not disappointed.  My hardwood floors looked great, my stainless kitchen appliances were clean and shiny and the bathroom spotless.  Even the baseboards were clean.  I have been disappointed with cleaning services in the past but this time my expectations were exceeded.  They washed my windows on the inside, cleaned my refrigerator and somehow made my bedroom carpet look like new.  I have two cats and I know there was a lot of cat hair to get rid of -- but they did it.  I don't think there's a place in my house that they missed.  I'm so pleased with the results it is a pleasure to recommend them and I will definitely use them again.

"We appreciate your kind words, [member name removed]. We definitely understand in the process of moving you may not always have ample time to schedule well in advance. Just as long we are available we have no problem adjusting our schedule to accommodate. A Move Out Cleaning is fairly simple but we do not cut corners to make it look new for turnover."

"[member name removed] started her cleaning the right way. It's always best to schedule a cleaning after any construction/renovations done in your home. Then schedule routine cleanings. Scheduling a Detailed Service (After Construction/Renovation Cleaning) will remove excess debris and dust. Scheduling your routine service right after a Detailed Service is the best way to maintain your home. We appreciate your business very much, [member name removed]!"

Great service from start to finish!  Carla came to the house and provided a very reasonable estimate for a bi-weekly cleaning service.  She indicated that she would follow up with a confirmation of the available cleaning date the next day and she did this.  The cleaning crew was on time;  paid attention to details and were much superior to our previous company.  They also provided an estimate for window cleaning on the inside and outside.  This price was also very competitive with other companies that have performed the same service.  EXCELLENT!
Response from M & WR CLEANING CONTRACTORS
"We appreciate your continued service [member name removed]. The quote for cleanings vary depending on the home. There is a lot which gets factor into generating a price. Since it is only 2 adults with no kids that alone brings the price down. Animals which live in home is also a big factor we consider, however yours are crated and that helps to reduce per dander and hair roaming the house."

W&MR did what I didn't think would be possible.  After receiving a call yesterday afternoon from my (now former) home cleaning service provider who wished to move my confirmed appointment to next week (which seems to happen fairly regularly), I had to scramble to find someone who had availability for this morning prior to family arriving in town for the weekend.  W&MR took the time to answer all of my questions, giving me a quote for the services to be provided that didn't include any last minute gouging. (it turns out it was actually cheaper than the company we were using.)
The two ladies showed up 10 minutes early and, after discussing which rooms shouldn't be cleaned, promptly began working.  They were extremely courteous and efficient.  I believe they cleaned things that the previous service provider didn't clean in the same time.
Response from M & WR CLEANING CONTRACTORS
"Thank you [Member Name Removed]. We do train all of our employees to work quick and efficient. They are all video trained for 2 hours and then have hands on training at our owners house. It is preferred for the home owner to show the crew the specifics of the cleaning if we are not able to come out and provide a FREE in home estimate. The more specific the client is with us on what they expect out of the cleaning, the easier it is for the crew to meet your expectations."

This company is very professional.  Because I was a first-time customer, they sent a supervisor to stop by and check on the project. I own a 3 BR town home and I had them clean the main level (LR, DR, KIT, Sunroom), MBR, MBA, Guest bath and lower level bath. I thought the price was a bit steep, considering they didn't clean all 3 bedrooms, only 1.  However, my house was a dirty mess and they got it clean, especially the stove top and bathrooms. My normal housekeeper was out of town and she would typically charge me about $125 to $150, so the price was a shocker, but their cleaning was much better. 

Response from M & WR CLEANING CONTRACTORS
"Thank you [Member Name Removed]. When generating a quote the condition of the home is considered as well. Just because all the rooms are not being cleaned doesn't mean it will take less time to clean. The kitchen and bathrooms usually take most of the time in a good cleaning. Two working together is always better than one. Two crew members have an advantage on one person because they are able to check each others work. We are happy you were pleased with the service even though our rate is higher than your regular service provider."

We have worked with M&WR for many years -- very nice owners -- cleaning crew very easy to work with -- mostly they do the usual cleaning and vacuuming -- they bring all their own cleaning equipment and supplies.  If windows, ovens, frig need cleaning, they allow extra time and extra charge.
