Mary and her team do an excellent job of cleaning and are polite and friendly. They cleaned twice-once before we left for the winter and once when we returned. I tried to set up a regular schedule and was told I'd be called, but that never happened. Disappointed in the follow-through.

Response from HAYS Cleaning Inc
[Member Name Removed], It's great to hear from you. Thank you for the outstanding review. I like my job and all the people and places that become part of my life. HAYS Cleaning, Inc worked for you our first time, last October 12, 2017, with a request from you to call you back in the Spring. You even used one of our Coupons! You may have overlooked your request for HAYS to call you on May 1, 2018. We did. You weren't ready for us, yet. I then usually allow myself to make up to (3) three separate courtesy calls, and IF no continued business or service request, I then Let Go and Let God. Mary James President HAYS Cleaning, Inc (708)598.3819 Please feel free to Call Us at HAYS Cleaning, Inc again at any time. No job to B I G or small. (min. 3 hrs)

Amazing.what a team they are...they found burnt out light bulbs in the light fixtures and asked if I had more bulbs and replaced them! My house is spotless from top to bottom. They found things I didn’t notice! They call to let you know when they are leaving and how long it will take them to arrive...then you just open the door and they start immediately. 3 women, each has a specific specialty, kitchen or baths...then they all meet to dust and vacuum move furniture...very impressed and would definitely hire and refer them!

After we fielded some questions or concerns, we booked a service appointment. We had three girls and myself, that came and tackled all your requests and that you and your husband had and are pleased enough to SHARE!!! I thank God and my parents. They taught me well. Looking forward to a continued relationship. Seize the Moment. Best Regards, Mary James President, /HAYS Cleaning, Inc

Thoroughly pleased. My place hadn't benefited from a good cleaning in a long time and required a little extra effort to say the least. Mary and her crew handled it like they were all-stars. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. I plan to hire them again for future cleaning needs and would recommend them to anyone.

That's a bonus for us to tackle things without needing to ask specifics. We felt like we had made a difference. Your review shows we did! Thank You. Hope to see you before the holidays.

They did a good job but they had sticky fingers. I had a 50th wedding anniversary ring and a shriner's ring that was stolen. I had placed them in my drawer and when I got back to look for them, they were gone. Just before they left the house, one of the workers told the man Go go go! I did not think about it at the time but later when I found the jewelry missing I realized what was going on. At that point it was too late. I contacted Mary later to tell her about this and she said "Don't you have that covered through home owners?" I am continuing to try to get my rings back from them.

Absolutely wonderful! If anyone wanted to get a cleaning service, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Hays Cleaning. Everything was done within an hour. I cannot praise them enough! Mary will do everything in her power to make sure that everything is taken care of. Other companies I've called wanted to charge me several thousand dollars, and Hays Cleaning went above and beyond for the price that they charge. They take everything into consideration. You really feel the love and compassion from Mary and her workers. I'm going to be calling them back to do the upstairs of my home around the first of the month. Thank you so much Hays Cleaning!

OK. Here is the problem I had with this. It was deceptively advertised. It was stated that you get three hours worth of work. I'm thinking that it is three straight hours. Usually my house takes two hours to clean so I was adding tasks to be done in anticipation of the visit. Instead, it turned out to be three workers providing one hour each. So, in reality, I only got one hour of work. I spoke with the owner several times before they came out and this was never mentioned until she got to the house. At that time, she explained the whole pricing/hours schematic. By then, I was committed and couldn't turn back as I was having a function that next day. So, when it dawned on me that I was getting much less than I thought, I had to pay extra to get another 20 minutes from each worker. So, they were rushed and I ended up cleaning a lot of the house myself. I really felt deceived and tricked. I think the owner is a nice person and I don't wish to hurt her but, even in a subsequent follow up call, I mentioned this to her as a concern.

Response from HAYS Cleaning Inc
[member name removed], Thank you for taking the time to review HAYS Cleaning, Inc. I take constructive criticism as an opportunity to learn where we may need to strengthen and improve our services. Our offer clearly stated that the purchase included the following: $90 for three labor-hours of housecleaning. Teams of 2-4, depending on the size of the job and scope of work requested Prices are for labor-hours (two cleaners for 1.5 hours is three hours) Extra time can be purchased for an additional $30.00 per hour Includes all cleaning materials, but service provider will use member-provided products upon request We customize cleaning to your individual needs [member name removed], having a Team allows us to work smarter. HAYS gave you the three labor-hours purchased, plus. I stopped in at the job site as our Team was cleaning, to insure our Customer satisfaction. There was no additional time added for myself picking up needful items or prepping each room as our team addressed the cleaning that you requested. I had hoped that by my presence on the job site and our conversation that you were getting the quality professional services you requested. Thank you for taking your valuable time to give us your input. ~Mary James President, HAYS Cleaning, Inc.

She does a fine job. I have had her for several years. The price depends on how much they do and I give her a very large whole house, and there are five dogs that live in here. Sometimes it’s a lot and sometimes not so much and it depends. It’s around $200 but that doesn’t mean anything because the house is big. I like that she is very approachable about things. She comes herself and doesn’t always come herself but sometimes it’s just her team. I have experienced her working with the people that she hired and she is very kind to them. I think that was important because I had some people and they were all from my area within a range and I have an experience where people cleaning my house were not English speaking and they were always afraid of being in trouble. When they put the rug back and I put it on myself they would say,” I am sorry, I am sorry” and I don’t know what these people’s living conditions are or if they are almost enslaved and I don’t know that but with Mary I know they are people from all around here and a lot of people from her church and you can talk to them and it was important to me. She doesn’t always do an amazing job but I am comfortable with them in my house. I am fine with the price and it is comparable to other prices. I wish it wouldn’t cost that much but she wants to treat fairly.

Dear [member name removed], Thank you for taking the time to provide a Review. We have been visiting your home on a regular basis. I believe [name removed] introduced us. Thanks [name removed]. I would like to take this time to tell you both, Happy 75th Month Anniversary! As I road through your neighborhood today, the in the back seat of a *customers car I was bragging on you guys. I shared that [member name removed]'s husband, [member name removed] called, telling me he need a cleaning service to save his marriage. Well after we discussed your cleaning needs, and we take requests, HAYS Cleaning,Inc started. If at anytime a client has specifics needed, talk it up. Let us design something that works for both your home and you budget. For all the times we may have overlooked doing a quality job, I am sorry. What I would like to say is we are always open for constructive criticism. I would like to believe we want to learn for our mistakes. On another note, I would like to invite you to visit [hyperlink removed] and select the best form of media to FOLLOW, ie, HAYS (Blog), Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Gmail, Twitter ...

The cleaning of the kitchen went well. The provider was booked to do laundry, ( did not happen) which they agreed by phone would be completed (several times). They did agree to return on Friday and take my parents belongings to a "laundry-mat, but we decided to cut-our ties with this company early on. I spoke with the provider several times before booking this company. It is unclear where the miscommunication starts and ends (with the provider and/or the employees??). I am working hard to make my parents (senior citizens) life easier not harder or more stressful; which is what happened today. Certainly, I wished it had worked out for all of us.

I did call her and told her what I thought. She did come back a second time and it wasn’t much better. After that I didn’t call them back.
Description of Work: They brought out a young crew for housecleaning. The main thing I wanted clean was my bathrooms. When they were ready to leave, it looked like they didn’t even clean them. She then ran in there and cleaned it quickly; it wasn’t done well.

First, thank you for your patience and sense of humor the morning of service. I apparently had the Team head in the opposite direction of your home. For some reason, I had workers heading in the direction of Lansing, which of course is nowhere near Lombard. We were glad to come in your home and know we helped make a difference.

Hays cleaning really assisted me when I was in a bind and I had (only) one date open to have them come and clean. The service really saved me since the house did appear clean by the time they left. I was home during the cleaning. The two young men that did the bedrooms and living room were really professional, courteous, and dealt with the fact that I had things to do (laundry, beds, shower curtain, sofa covers), all while they were cleaning. The floors were nice and clean when they dried. The young lady was courteous and worked hard. She told the young man in charge that I had a leak under my sink. (In actuallity the water was from her removing something from the kitchen sink that was filled to the brim with water --the water was not clean water*, but water and whatever cleaning solutions she had my stovetop pieces soaking in). I do not expect her to be super neat about it, but it was difficult to witness the mess being created either. There was water* everywhere (dripping down my counter tops and dripping under the sink. I honestly just stayed out of the room the best I could until it closer to being finished. In the end, the kitchen WAS CLEANED and looked nice. My stove/oven door and my dishwasher door had never looked better. I would also like to mention something for the company. Everything that was a cooking surface was sprayed with a degreaser. On the positive side, it CLEANED everything....but left an awful cleaner smell in my microwave, toaster, and basically every surface of the kitchen. The handle on my microwave fell off (and I have suspicions that the handle falling off is the degreaser's fault, it ate the glue holding it onto the door -LOL). (Is it possible to use a gentler/different degreaser??). Lastly, Since I saw the spray on everything, and it had such a strong odor, I had to clean all of my pets water, food dishes, etc. again. (Pets were kept in another room while the service was over and not allowed in the rooms until everything was dry). Maybe a pet friendly cleaner should be offered? I know I should have asked, but I forgot. In the end I received a CLEAN looking home. I really appreciate them coming on short notice!!! I appreciate the effort (3 hours) of the three people who came. The three of them worked hard and my house really looked better than before they came.
Description of Work: They gave me a Spring Cleaning service that included wiping down walls, ceiling fans, washing the floors with special attention to the kitchen. The bedrooms and living room were done so nicely. In the end, the kitchen looked really good too. Mary was a pleasure to talk to about arranging the service to come in. I really am grateful that they brought their own cleaning supplies (but would like to mention that they should ask if you have pets to bring pet-safe supplies). I was in dire need of a service, and forgot to ask. They accomodated me on short notice. Use the online coupon for a free hour, it will definitely come in handy.

Member, We thank you for your timely report. I am on vacation, but received this for the 2nd x and felt you deserved 'a timely reply'. Without the input from our Customer we would not know there was a 'problem' with the system. Each job has areas that sometimes have the need to be pretreated for the chemical to do it's job - it would seem as if there may have been an over dose and/or a larger area than needed at a time to work in to accomplish the task. Our kitchen girls are sometimes zealous with giving the most they can to help the 'Wow' factor of what we can Degrease and clean. You giving use a gentle reminder is appreciated. Our communication should have included observation and advising to you about the handle. Sorry if we failed you on that. Is there a reason I should contact you to replace or repair? Lastly, we do spray, clean, wash, rinse and dry as needed. You may not have seen all things, but this was brought to attention of contractors. And I am so sorry for the over-spray on or by the pet center of your home. Not a good thing. Pets are our family and sometimes our medicine. With this we would like to offer you (1) one Free hour of cleaning at no cost and no other cleaning obligations OR add an additional hour($30.00 value) for your next cleaning. HAYS does guarantee our work. It's the little things in life that determine the big things. This is a Family business. God and Family come first.

I've used Hays Cleaning twice and had a Groupon to use. I was a bit unsure, as I hadn't employed a service for years after deteriating quality from a different person I had use years ago. But I'm now very happy that I tried a sercvice again, as it really took the pressure off me.... they cleaned as thoroughly as I would myself but were much more organized and efficient than I am.
Description of Work: I have 3 cats and no time. My main concerns were cat hair, dust and lint.... the crew was on time, worked quickly and were very effective. I definitely will use Mary and her crew again.

Greetings Member, Thanks for taking the time to write a review on behalf of HAYS Cleaning,INC. I am from a family of 7 children and while growing up, mom and dad had a chore chart. I so did not like that list. I enjoyed making the chart, but not doing the work on it.! Today I find myself enjoying my job because my parents taught me well and cause I get to do the 'delegating'. Mom and Dad taught us how to 'work' for what we want and 'pray' for what we need. I value helping people maintain and keep what they already have. Thanks again. Merry Christmas.

Mary called to say the cleaning crew would be there earlier than she thought. I left the house open, (with my 19year old son sleeping)and I was so excited about coming home to a clean house (I was on my way to work). What a shock and disappointment to find that my entire house had not been cleaned. I called Mary and she said the crew ran out of time, and she offered to split the cost with me to have the crew come out to my house and finish the job. I told Mary that I had never run into a situation where I paid for my house to be cleaned and it wasn't finished. The positive side? When telling my story of the cleaning team that didn't finish the job on FaceBook, I received a referral to another cleaning service and I am overjoyed by their job and prices!
Description of Work: Mary came to my house right away(Friday) to give me an estimate on cleaning my house. She and her team came back to my house on Monday, to clean my house.

Response from HAYS Cleaning Inc
I do recall that I had made a trip to your home to give you an estimate for the job description you wanted done in your home before the cleaning was scheduled. As we walked through I gathered information, with you advising me on the “how, who, what, and where” of the cleaning services you previously had or had not received. After we toured your home, I estimated that the cost would be $250.00 to $325.00 for the First Time Detailing. Your home is beautiful with natural wood and many eclectic items. The cost for the First Time Detailing would then allow HAYS Cleaning to maintain your home for the $150.00 cost that you requested. HAYS staff is trained to give Quality First - Quantity Second. I do recall communicating with you both before and after HAYS cleaned your home, so that we did not assume things. I believe that with the quality of services we did complete, you expressed that HAYS did well, but you just thought that the whole house should have been completed. Let's not overlook that we did complete the house, but the job on the first floor got much less detail, given the $150.00 allowed budget. We are pleased that you have found your 'comfort zone'. We at HAYS Cleaning, Inc. wish you the BEST. If at any time in the future your home needs extra detailing - walls, windows,inside/out appliances, light fixtures - please call. HAYS will offer you a One Time - TWO for TWO: Buy Two Hours, Receive Two Hours Free. Best Regards, Mary James mary@hayscleaning.com

Mary is very responsive and helpful when providing an estimate. She is willing to work within your budget to meet your cleaning needs. The crew of 5 people arrived on time and quickly began working. For this job, Donna (crew supervisor) suggested the five hour package. (Angie's List discount provided for a free hour.) The service packages are based on one hour of work per crew member. It seemed some sections of the baseboards and a couple shelves might not have been dusted, but I'm not sure if it was due to an oversight or lack of time. Overall, this was minor considering the entire work. I felt the quality was good. It was nice to come home to a clean house.
Description of Work: Cleaning select areas of my two story home (kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom, office, bathroom, side entry, stairs, and hallway)

They were able to come at a time that I was available. Two people cleaned (Mary and another worker) and finished the job in two hours. They were very thorough and specific about what was to be done. The work was completed as promised, and in the time promised. I received a follow-up call from Mary to make sure everything was OK.
Description of Work: Hays was asked to clean an 2BR, 1-1/2 Bath, living/dining room & kitchen apartment after a move-out. They cleaned the bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen and appliances, windows, walls and vacuumed the carpet.
