Default House Cleaning

I need some recommendations. Has anyone used either of these two house cleaning services and/or what have you heard about either. Jets Professional Cleaning? I appreciate any recommendations you can give.

swrinfla uses Daisy Maids and loves them. Just make sure that whoever you use is bonded and insured. You don't want a lawsuit because some trips.

lol Cassie. Know just what you mean. I do a good job on other peoples' homes but so-so is about as good as it gets at home.

Red's right. I've used Daisy Maids for a long time. They do good work.

Usually a different pair of gals each time - I gather turnover is pretty high - but they're always English speaking, courteous and accomodating. They're here an hour and a half (I'm in a Gardenia) or so.

I establish a regular schedule at least a year in advance, but they're also easy to change shoud something come up!

I have a couple whose company is Jet Professional Cleaning. We love them. I have them come in once a week. We both have bad backs and can't clean the bathrooms or the kitchen as well as we would like. Have had them for the three years we have lived here and never have any complaints.

We use Anderson Cleaning - every other week. The cleaners arrive at the same time every other Wednesday and are competent and thorough. They do change cleaners on occasion and every once in a while the boss lady shows up and helps clean.

If a problem occurs and we need to change a day or skip a week, they will changes days to accommodate us.

I made an appointment with Village Maid Service to have my house cleaned. The appointment was for 1:30 PM Monday afternoon. They didn't show up. They didn't call to cancel. And they haven't returned my calls.

Exclamation Wow...

Bare, that's just wrong! I'd never use someone you can't depend on. I am, however, looking for a woman named Pat that lives in Mallory. She advertised on TOTV before and I used her and she was wonderful. I can't find her!!!! Help!!!! Pat come forward please!

Does anyone know who she is or her phone number???

Bare,

I had a very similar experience with Villages Maid Service. They didn't show for appointment and did not return my phone calls. Not a very professional way to run a business.

Halle, you are so right, not professional at all! I wasted a whole afternoon of great weather sitting inside waiting for them. I left three phone calls for them and they didn't return my calls. Even a lame excuse and apology would have been more professional.

I will NEVER understand why businesses spend money advertising and when they get bookings, they don't show up.

There is an ad immediately to the left of the post for M & D maid service. They are licensed and insured, and best of all, they are sponsors of this board.

Jan,

The Villages Maid Service is also known as M & D the company that advertises on this site. That is the same company that did not show up for an appointment or return phone calls.
