Oliveira's Cleaning

We have never used a cleaning service before, but in the crunch of moving out and selling our house, we listened to advice and looked for a cleaning service through Angie's List. Oliveira's Cleaning had an A rating (but only 4 reviews) and were able to come on fairly short notice (I called 6 days before the closing). The owner, Darci, was responsive and scheduled the cleaning for the morning of the day before the closing. We went by that evening to check, and were very disappointed in the results. While some areas of the house were very thoroughly cleaned, other areas seemed to have been neglected altogether. For example, the tenants' bathtub looked much better, with mildew taken care of, but the toilet in the same bathroom had dark yellow gunk around part of the base. The top two shelves of the pantry appeared not to have been vacuumed, much less wiped. (Possibly the cleaner didn't have a stool or chair on which to stand to reach them, but that's something they should bring with them.) There were cobwebs on walls where bookcases had been. The basement needed a lot more vacuuming to be "broom clean," the requirement for the sale. My husband and I spent an hour and a half working hard vacuuming and wiping, and were able to leave the house good enough for the walk-through the next morning. I interacted with Darci a few days later when I had some time, and sent her pictures of the problem areas. She apologized and said she would have come back to do more cleaning if I had let her know.

I was happy with it. They were friendly and did a good job.

After Darci looked at my spaces she was able to give me a quote on the spot. She presented me with several letters of recommendations from clients and a quote better than what I had been paying another service. Two or three of her team of cleaners spend several hours working on general cleaning and anything specific I have requested. There was one issue with some items going through the dishwasher that I wish hadn't but once I made Darci aware that was no longer an issue.

Everything is always great. The kitchen and baths sparkle, things are organized and all feels clean! It's so nice to come home from work to an extra clean house.

Oliveira's Cleaning (Darci) has been cleaning our house for 5 and 1/2 years. Darci does a fantastic job! She is punctual, professional and the house always looks great when she is done. They clean 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, our kitchen, playroom, office and foyer twice a month for $140. She and her partner are usually there for about 2 hours. She is very easy to communicate with whether by phone, email or in person. Darci is friendly, helpful and very hardworking. She takes her job very seriously and it really shows. I highly recommend Oliveira's Cleaning and plan on continuing to use their services.
