Since I've had Molly Maid of Placer County for ten years, I obviously like the job they do. I think they're great! They clean well, they're nice, and the office staff are kind and helpful. I really like this company. After many years, I discovered I could be assigned the same team for each cleaning rather than have a different team each time. (Molly Maids' teams are made up of two employees.) I like all the teams, but one team I especially liked. So, for the last year, I've had this team of two women coming. We're always glad to see each other. They are very likeable people, and I enjoy them. Molly Maids' teams clean thoroughly. Once or twice I've had them go over something again, but only once or twice. I often leave notes around the house to give directions to not clean a certain room or to vacuum this thing that usually doesn't get vacuumed. They always do what I've asked and with a cheerful attitude. I don't recall anything ever being broken, but I've read they have a good rule regarding breakages. I am always happy with the cheerful cleaning I get from Molly Maid of Placer County. I must be, or I wouldn't have been hiring them for ten years.
Description of Work: I have used Molly Maid of Placer County for ten years. I have them come every four weeks to clean my house, while I clean in-between times. I like having Molly Maid come once a month, as they clean better than I can do. And, they do a good job! They clean the whole house, unless I tell them to skip this or that room that particular day. They clean the blinds, the insides of main windows, the glass fixtures on lamps (that they can reach safely); they vacuum cushions on upholstered chairs, make beds, thoroughly clean toilets, and showers/baths, and counters; clean the kitchen sinks and counters well including the inside of the microwave and outsides of appliances; take out trash, vacuum, mop, dust, wipe, polish mirrors, and a myriad other little things. They won't clean something if it's unsafe to reach (as they don't use ladders and such). They even wipe down the light fixture on my front porch. To get the best cleaning service, it is helpful to have toys, clothes, dirty dishes, and other things put away so they don't have to clean around them. Most of the ladies who do the cleaning do speak Spanish (as another reviewer noted). I personally don't mind it at all. Some speak only English. Some speak mostly Spanish. Most are bilingual. I find them to be very nice and courteous people. The ladies on the phone in the office are polite and professional as well as very helpful. They do a good job accommodating any changes I have to make to my normal schedule, and they call to confirm my appointment each month (a day or two before service date). In addition, Molly Maid hires its staff. They are employees of Molly Maid. That is, Molly Maid is not a referral agency for independent cleaning contractors. This means that I am not financially responsible for things like Workman's Comp, other insurance, and that sort of thing. These things are handled by the company for their employees. I'm always home to receive the cleaning team when they come, but if needed by the client the company provides a very secure key service. My house is about 2200 square feet, and it takes two women up to two hours (up to four man hours) to clean my house. They always take at least one and a half hours. For this I pay $140 per service. I started with them ten years ago, and in that time my rate has gone up once, or maybe twice, and that's all. I don't know what the rate might be for new customers. Payment is made at the time of service. So, I just put my check on the counter to be picked up by the Molly Maids when they come. I do give a tip to each woman from time to time...because I really, really appreciate their great help. I really do!
