Additional contact - Fred Shields.
Fred has cleaned our condo regularly for over a year. He takes a lot of pride in his work and doesn't ever cut corners. The house always looks and smells great after he is done. I appreciate his honesty and responsiveness in all of our interactions-- he's very easy to get in touch with and has worked around our crazy schedules if we needed him to come at a different time from when he was regularly scheduled. I appreciate the flexibility of working with a small business rather than a faceless cleaning company and I would encourage you to give Clean Slate a try.

Good people who did a professional job at a reasonable price. We needed quick service close to a holiday. They were very flexible in order to meet our needs. I cannot remember the exact price but it was very reasonable.

I have worked with Clean Slate for several years and have found them to be very conscientious and responsive. On the occasion when I have needed an extra cleaning or needed to reschedule, they tried to accomodate the change if their schedule permitted. They work hard for their customers and, as a consumer, I appreciate that. Because they have cleaned for me for so long I have gotten to know Lee and Fred quite well. They have built their business on their integrity and personal reputations and value developing relationships with their clients. I am very comfortable having them in my home on occasions when I am not present. We also have dogs and cats as part of our family and somehow, Lee and Fred help me control the results ol their shedding! In addition, they are kind to them and that means a lot to us. I have recommended Clean Slate to several friends and I would not hesitate to do so again. Job well done!

I was generally satisfied with the service. However, I terminated the service following a recent experience that called into question the trustworthiness of the husband and wife team. During a routine cleaning, my husband and I were at the house packing for our family's weekend trip to visit out-of-town family. We were in the way of the cleaners and hurried to pack and get on the road, but spent several minutes talking to the cleaners, including small talk about our trip. We left and subsequently had the house alarm set. Later that night around 10 pm, we received a call from the alarm company to indicate a front door breach. Police arrived and found that the husband of the husband-wife team was at the house, telling the officer that he had come back to clean the toilets (or pick up his wife's forgotten purse...we were not clear on the reason). We had always given key access on the day of service to the cleaners over the years, but had never given them carte blanche to come and go as they pleased; they were expected to clean at the appointed time, generally within a window of time in the afternoon. And, I most surely would have rejected any request to come to our house at 10 pm when we were out of town; though it's noted that the cleaners made no attempt to reach us with such a request.
Description of Work: For approximately two years, Clean Slate provided bi-weekly house cleaning service for my home.

Our company is built on Christian values and Integrity. The only reason we were there on June 7th was to service the client to the level of excellence we have dedicated ourselves to for over 20 years. Due to a death in the family, that was the only time we could service the client before they returned from being out of town. We responsibly waited for the police dept. to arrive in order to explain who we were and the reasons we were there. In retrospect, we realized we should have notified the client of our intent before going back to complete the tasks we had overlooked, as well as, check to see if Lee's misplaced purse was at their place of residence. We have expressed our apologies and acknowledged our error in judgement to the client, as well as offer to reimburse them for any charges incurred from the alarm system company. We regret losing (deleted member name) as clients. We sincerely wish them the best, and are thankful for their 2+ years of patronage. God Bless, Fred and Lee Shields Clean Slate

I had contacted Lee initially of Clean Slate to provide cleaning services for our older home in the Merdian-Kessler neighborhood of Indianapolis, when I was just too busy to maintain the weekly cleaning services our family required. I am so pleased and satisfied with the way Lee and Fred of Clean Slate have customized their housecleaning services to our family's needs and budget. Fred cleans with such dedication to customer service and is always making sure that his time is spent on cleaning the areas of our home which we have discussed need the most attention. He also comes with an array of tools, equipment and cleaning supplies and is always open to cleaning methods that suit us.
Description of Work: Fred and Lee as a husband and wife team do an amazing job of running Clean Slate. Fred has been cleaning our home for over three months every two weeks and completes various housecleaning services In our older home. From dusting, vacuuming, cleaning hardwood floors and bathrooms, to dusting blinds and polishing century old woodwork, the team at Clean Slate has expertly and meticulously delivered on their concept of a "clean home environment", no matter what the circumstances or requests!

Ms. Skidmore has been cleaning our home for nearly a year as often as every week. Over the years we have had experience with multiple cleaning services. Some larger operations did an OK job but used pretty toxic cleaning products and also tend not to pay those actually cleaning a decent wage. Other smaller outfits, even found with good reviews on angies list, will do an impressive job at first but over time we would see the quality of the work go down and less time spent while still being paid a flat rate. With Clean Slate we found that the price was reasonable, that Lee was professional beyond reproach, and after nearly a year of service the quality of the work has never declined. We trust Ms. Skidmore with our home. I can think of no better recommendation. At our request she uses low impact and low fume cleaning products and cares for our things as if they were her own. She is skilled, thorough, detail oriented and impeccably professional.
Description of Work: Ms. Skidmore has been cleaning our home for nearly a year as often as every week. We live in a three bedroom, 3.5 bath home with four children and a dog. She cleans floors, surfaces, toilets, sinks, glass, showers, tubs ,and baseboards weekly and rotates periodic projects like cabinet fronts, blinds, ceiling fans and walls. She also gave special attention to any areas that we were wanting cleaned like cleaning out the oven, microwave or fridge. All areas are dusted, swept, wiped or mopped throughout the entire house.

Lee has been a godsend ever since she started monthly cleanings. Our son has a compromised immune system due to long illness, so it's very important to minimize any kind of infection source. It gives us great peace of mind to know that the kitchen and bathrooms are always scrubbed scrupulously clean by the time she leaves. One less thing to worry about! Lee's cheerful attitude is wonderful as well; she's never had a problem when my family's occasionally unpredictable routine requires changes to the cleaning schedule. I appreciate her patience very much! You couldn't ask for better.

It's a pretty basic job. Non-smoking, no pets. I've been using Lee for about 1 year now. I have only had one other housecleaning service for one time, so I have little to compare (hence the B ratings in some areas). Lee arrives to work with the usual supplies and vacuum, but what sets her apart is she shows up in knee pads. You know she means business and you know your shower and floors are clean, because she is on her knees scrubbing. I don't always find the picture frames dusted or the tops of tall cabinets. I did chit-chat with her today while she cleaned the kitchen . . . Lee wiped down the counters, sink, etc. She climbed up on the counter to clean the light fixture, she wiped down the cabinets and backsplash, she cleaned the drip pans on the stove. Now, I 'clean' before the cleaning lady comes. That means I pick up as much as possible so she can clean the surfaces and spend the 3 hours scrubbing. If I want something special done, I just leave a note and it's taken care of. Today, she put clean sheets on the bed. Another time, she has hung a clean shower curtain. As long as you remember that you are paying for a block of time, you can request just about anything. Lee is very personable. She respects my home and my family. I have young kids, so we are home sometimes during part of the job. We try to work around her (again respecting the time of the job) when we are here. Having a cleaning service has given me a "Clean Slate" to start from each month. It makes cleaning during the weeks in between easier. As far as punctuallity, Lee always calls if she cannot make it on our scheduled day, and she also calls a couple days ahead to confirm. Her arrival time varies, but it rarely affects my day.
Description of Work: Monthly cleaning. 3 hours of service for a 2 BR, 2 bath, 2 story house.

The service was great! Lee was professional throughout, and the quality of the service provided was excellent.The cleaning was generally green; toxic cleaning substances were only used when absolutely necessary. I plan to continue using her services.
Description of Work: (First cleaning) Lee did a thorough cleaning of a 2 bedroom house that had not been professionally cleaned in at least a year. This included polishing the hardwood floors. Lee has cleaned my 2 BR house about once every 8 weeks for about 18 months at this point. I remain super-happy with the quality of her service. She's a pleasure to talk with and minimizes use of toxic chemicals.

I was very pleased when I came home to a very clean house. Lee did take longer for the initial cleaning than her original estimate but offered to stick to her estimate. She also recommeded someone to clean my windows inside and outside and they worked together to make my house presentable for the first time in years.
Description of Work: Complete interior house cleaning. Lee cleaned my house while I was out of town on vacation without any direction or supervision other than a walk through when she gave me the estimate.
