Default Cleaners, cleaners everywhere! Where are the ones that keep their word?

On our 4 set of house cleaners. Mostly companies. They all say there will be there in a certain date and time within a hour either way.

That’s reasonable to us. But all of them don’t abide by their own rules.

Just today, our latest company, who we just hired two weeks ago, told us they will be 4 hours late.

Like most of us, we have a schedule and can’t constantly change to accommodate a particular company. We understand that things happen, but these companies need to have contingency plans.

Anyone have a reliable home cleaner?

We have been using Great Job Pro for about 2 years and they have always been on time and do a good job. A couple of times we were not satisfied but if you point it out to them they make sure it is taken care of and doesn’t happen again.

Same here.

A neighbor told us about Great Job Pros and said in the over 5 years they've used them, they haven't raised their price a single penny. Of course I can't verify that, but if true (and I have no reason to doubt my neighbor)...that's pretty amazing.

I am my own reliable cleaner, LOL. Great exercise and satisfaction guaranteed not to mention cheap. Btw, I would find a cleaner that would text you when on their way. I love that feature that some contractors have now.

GJP, or at least my assigned crew, does that - and it's much appreciated.

I don’t like strangers in my house so I and we clean our own. Not that hard or take much time if you’re not messy…. If I even thought about cleaning person it would NOT be from company where they steal all profit on backs of poor hardworking.

My wife and I are reliable. We vacuume, mop and dust as needed. Who are you premadontas that can’t do this yourselves. A couple hours once a week and you’re done.

Over the years we have heard more bad stories than good when it comes to house cleaners so we do it all ourselves except for windows. We have a set schedule mostly one room a day. For the harder less frequent things like washing the cabinet doors, vacuuming window treatments, washing cars and floors, I take care of that along with spring a fall type cleaning and my wife does the laundry and dishes and we share cooking. We have been together for 60 years now and feel we have a pretty good system going, there might come a time when we can't handle it all but so far so good. As far as love, of course, we wouldn't have made it this long without it.

Even handicapped persons need some kind of exercise, right. As some have said and how I do it is a room or two at a time or over the week.

This is the most tone deaf response I've heard in awhile.

We have used great job pro for years and are quite pleased with them. They have a wonderful window cleaning service as well.
