They have been cleaning our house for about 7 years now- they send a team of 2 cleaners, and in general they have done an excellent job. We recommend them to all of our friends. They are punctual, professional, and go about their business in a friendly yet efficient manner. We recommend them highly.
Description of Work: The Cleaning Authority provides us with housecleaning services- they clean the floors, dust the furniture and the house, and all other housecleaning services. They come every two weeks.

We have used the Cleaning Authority for about 10 years. After having experience with a few different companies prior with mixed results we were referred to the Cleaning Authority by friends. In our opinion here is what sets them apart. 1. They work in teams - at least on our home. This team approach creates very good continuity and consistency. If one team member is ill or cannot clean one week the other knows your home and idiosyncrasies. 2. They are accountable. Over the years we have had two items which have been broken in the course of cleaning. One was replaceable - a glass table top and the other was not (a vase acquired in Mexico). For the vase we were compensated to purchase something roughly equivalent. This no hassle replacement policy is very impressive. 3. They pay attention to details. My wife is extremely detail oriented and meticulous. I have been surprised at her level of comfort with the Authority. She is not easy to please when it comes to the small things like putting hair care products and other small items back in their proper place. 4. The little things count. It is not a big deal, but a good example of some of the little things they do is to fold the ends of the toilet paper in each bathroom. This is what you find in the finer hotels like the Four Seasons. 5. Friendliness. Probably unlike their common customers, we are home when the cleaners are working. We have a 4 and 7 year old who are very engaging. It is neat to see our children interact with our cleaners. Very good with kids. 6. They bring their own equipment and supplies. Even though we have a Beam, they bring all of their own tools of the trade. 7. No surprises. They may relate back to number 1 on the list, but after our cleaners leave we never find ourselves thinking they have changed a routine, placement of items or left something in a different state. Highly predictable. 8. No obnoxious smoke or perfume. When you let somebody into your home the last thing you want is to have them bring along unpleasant odors. In the entire period of time we have been with the Authority we have never had the smell of lingering smoke or perfume when they left. Cleaning products too are not heavily scented. This is a big plus for us. 9. They always show up. Every week, the same time, rain, wind, snow or sleet. 10. Noninvasive. We are very private people. We live in the country at the end of a private drive. We have never felt any of our cleaners have been invasive or ask private inappropriate questions. 11. Staffing consistency. Over the years we have had no more than 6 different cleaners. When they work in teams this means no more than 3 teams. Given the nature of the work, this is impressive. In two of the instances where there were changes it is because our cleaner was moving up to a managerial role in the company. 12. Quality control. Periodically and randomly a manager will show up at the house while our cleaners are on site to review the quality of work. 13. Flexible and responsive. We travel a bit and so at times cancel service for a week or two if we are gone and nobody is in the house. At times we also have special requests or needs. We have always found the Authority to be responsive and flexible. It is without reservation we recommend this company. The best proof? When confronted with what gift to give one of our key company employees who recently gave birth, we opted for cleaning services from the Cleaning Authority. I do not know any of these folks personally but can only speak to our experience with their company.

We have used the Cleaning Authority since they started having a franchise here in Spokane. We have had wonderful results, time and time again. The cleaning teams are professional and work hard to please us. The office staff is friendly and helpful, too. We trust the people coming to our home and feel very thankful for them.
Description of Work: The teams that come to clean arrive when we expect them. They do a WONDERFUL job cleaning our home, time after time. They clean our house every other week and we expect and get a wonderful job of cleaning consistently. From dusting, to vacuuming to doing our bathrooms, they take care of the work we need to have done.

I've know these clients since we were kids in middle school. They are incredibly generous. What sets clients such as these apart from others, they view our cleaners as people, not a commodity. They are always interested in how our staff is doing and show kindness when team is at their home. The girls always love clients such as them. Thanks for your loyalty and warm hearts.

The cleaning team or a team member was not adequately trained. Dusting was not completed in obvious places. Floors were mopped, but sticky or gummy spots that did not come up without extra scrubbing were left. Dog hair was left under furniture and in corners. However, bathrooms and kitchen were very well cleaned.
Description of Work: Did well cleaning easy surface areas, but did not deep clean areas and rooms scheduled for deep clean. Two person team worked 1.5 hours for $105. CA provied cleaning supplies. Cost is high for the quality of the cleaning.

Response from The Cleaning Authority - Spokane
I have so many great reviews from wonderful customers I was taken aback by this particular one. As an owner of a very intensive customer service business, we pride ourselves in being the best. Our Angie’s list reviews accurately reflect that. We always strive to give the customer great value in their home cleaning service; for that client to feel comfortable and trustworthy in this very intimate customer/client relationship. As owner, I would be the first to hold up a mirror if we had several complaints, negative reviews and continue customer service issues, but we don’t. Our 600 ongoing regular clients think that we deliver what we promise. And here is the catch. If we ever let a client down, and we have, we immediately do whatever it takes to remedy that situation. We aren’t perfect but we are darn good. Our guarantee says that. We will come back to the house anytime if need be. We will crawl over glass for customers if within reason. So let me take a few moments to address this review. Price: Client gives us a D. Client says we are there for 1.5 hours. Reviewing our records over the six times we cleaned her home, our average for a team of two was 2 hours and 39 minutes. We charged her $105. Most companies in our area charge $75 per hour for a team of 2. In her case that would be approximately $200 per clean. Given client lives way out in the country, her $105 was very, very fair. Responsiveness: Client gives us a D. My manager’s records show that we responded to client’s emails or phone calls within either minutes or a few hours, tops. I have no idea what she is referring to. Professionalism: Again a D. Our cleaners are very well trained, wear uniforms and arrive in a wrapped Cleaning Authority vehicle. I know for a fact that our cleaners and staff are always polite and courteous. Not a gut feeling by me, but simply feedback that we recieve from so many of our clients. Quality: Customer gives us a D. I believe a D grade is extremely unfair and inaccurate. Quote from member comments. “Bathrooms and kitchen were cleaned very well”. Quote from customer email. “Wow...just for the efforts in the bathrooms alone, I am impressed. I hope you will convey that to the girls. So many things were perfect; better than I could have hoped.” Another email quote. “Finally, just let me say that both husband and I are impressed with CA and I love living in a clean house. I am not overwhelmed. Now I even look forward to entertaining. It used to be an ordeal. Now there is time for a little fun.” So I read back these emails and can only scratch my head. I ask any Angie’s list members to read our review by James Wilson. This review is a very fair representation of a client that owns a beautiful home and has used us on a weekly basis for over 9 years now. My mission in this response is not to be right and make the client wrong. We all have our negative experiences whether in a restaurant, a hotel or a service experience. It happens but clients need to understand that sometimes that company is trying their best and yes, maybe they fell short. But posting a very negative review can do harm to a good company that employs 30 employees. On a personal note, when dealing with a difficult experience in my own life, I choose to call the manager or owner and see what we can do to make things right prior to posting to the world of the internet. Negative reviews are hard to take back or remove from the internet.

Have used their services for over 7 years. Discontinued them for over a year at one point so our kids could fully appreciate the work they do and learn how to do all the needed cleaning tasks. TCA was terrific about discontinuing and then restarting. The very few times we have had a problem (schedule, something broken, service not up to par) they immediately handled it. They have been great about meeting our schedule changes, when requested, and always get a team out when we learn of unexpected house guests headed our way. I have had many different housecleaners in the past 20 years and TCA is the best! I recommend them all the time!

Thanks Member for the nice review. I did want to clarify the shower subject. First of all, the shower is cleaned every clean. 90% of our customers are on either a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. In your case, we clean you about every other month. Shower hard water stains are difficult and if treated on a more regular basis, my guess is we would be getting a more satisfactory outcome. Please feel free to leave your team a note and ask them to put an emphasis on the master shower and we'd be happy to do it. Anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to call our office. Thanks for your business.

We have been happy with them. They do a good job. They do vacuuming, dusting, and those sorts of things. They come when they say they will. They are on time. They leave the place looking nice, and the house is locked. They do what they are contracted to do. I will continue to use them.

A quote was made and they have been doing a great job for 5 years. They stand behind their people and their service.
Description of Work: I have used the Spokane Cleaning Authority since 2006. This has been the most professional home cleaning service I have ever had. The people assigned to cleaning are always professional, courteous, adapt to the environment and they always do an excellent job. If something is missed, they are quick to correct it. The Spokane office is easy to get a hold of when I have a question or need to reschedule. Melissa is sure to get with me if their schedule changes and that is just the professional service they provide. In 5 years only one issue arose when cleaners were changed and 2 new people showed up with no knowledge of the cleaning situation. Again, it was quickly resolved by Melissa and I still use this company today. I would, and have, recommended them to anyone needing home cleaning services.

They come in monthly and provide great service. I pay them monthly. I have no real complaints about them. I have to switch my cleaning schedules around a lot, and there is never an issue doing that. It's been a while since I've done any pricing comparison, so I don't have much to compare their prices with.
