ELAINES HOUSECLEANING

I was impressed at first. My call was returned promptly & the quote seemed comparable to those by the big chains. I reasoned that I would get better service from an individual responsible for her own business. Everything was downhill from there, however. She was about an hour late and did not call, so I was waiting around to let her in. When I came back to the house, the floors and surfaces seemed clean, and I didn't have time to do a thorough inspection because I was leaving town, so I just paid her and tipped her generously. Upon starting to move things into the house, though, I was very unhappy. Elaine and her friend had several hours to clean the house & didn't have to dust knick-knacks or move furniture. She knew that I particularly wanted all of the drawers and cabinets cleaned. Instead, I found crumbs, hair, and glass inside them and had to spend an afternoon cleaning things that I had already paid to have cleaned. I would not use Elaine again.

Elaine has been a joy to have cleaning our house. She always calls to let us know when she will be here, and has always been on time. She is very professional and does a very thorough job, while working quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend her to all of my family and friends. I have used ''big chain'' services in the past and she cleans circles around them.
