Sparkletime showed up right on time and after a brief run through she got right to work. Although the job was a lot more than she originally planned, she did not skip over any aspects of the job. The house looked great once she left; clean fridge, microwave, stove, floors, even the baseboards all throughout the house. The floors were spotless and everything perfectly dusted and cleaned. Would highly recommend

It was easy to schedule the appointment and she arrived right on time. The job was completed by one woman and she was here for about six or seven hours. I provided her with some cleaning supplies, but she only used her own. If they had completed what they were supposed to do, then the price would have been great. The deal was supposed to be for a whole house deep cleaning. She was very nice, but the work was superficial. I had cleaned off the counters and made everything tidy and neat. She dusted my ceiling fans instead of cleaning them. She didn’t do the baseboards and there was still dust everywhere. There was even one kitchen counter that was not cleaned at all. She did a good job cleaning the bathrooms, but she did not mop the floor. The deal and the service was not at all what I expected it to be. I would not have her come back for any additional work or corrections. UPDATE 2/19/14: The response of the provider below is a complete lie. My dog was already secured in the back yard when they arrived and they did not do a complete walk through, only the living room. The manager came in the living room and even commented my house was very neat to begin with. I tried to clean off all areas so that it would be easy to do a deep cleaning. I was not visibly upset, that is a complete fabrication, and there was no discussion about my dogs at all. The manager did not do a complete walk through, he just came and picked the worker up. I did say the job was satisfactory because I wanted them to leave and didn't want to argue about the job. I wasn't that uphappy with the service before, but now I'm VERY unhappy. I also asked not to be contacted by them after leaving the review and they called me.

The customer purchased a one cleaner deal. I(Manager) was there to do a walk through upon completion of service because upon arrival we told the customer that she had to secure her dog before the cleaner could start her work as it was noted on the deal she purchased that dogs must be secured. The customer wasn't happy about that because she had to leave the dog in her backyard and she did not understand why we couldn't clean with her dog walking around, I explained to her that it's the company policy. Knowing that the customer was visibly upset about the dog situation, I decided I had to go do a walk through after the cleaning was completed so as not to leave any room for a biased review. I(Manager) did a walk through with the customer after completion of service and she expressed complete satisfaction. Her review is a surprise to me.

The start time was always inconsistent and they were always late for the time they gave me. They should not be hired for houses with dogs. Emmanuel and his staff are polite and thorough.

Response from Sparkletime Cleaning Service
Customer rated us all A's before she edited her review. Reason: On one of the cleaning days her step daughter left their huge dog un attended and it went towards our employee and she screamed out of fear. The customer's husband got so angry(he has a very bad temper) he screamed at my employee hitting his walls, she got so scared of him, he then kicked my employees out of his house. While all this was going on my employee kept apologizing in fear that he might hit her but he still threw them out. Customer was pleasant until the incident. Most of our customers have dogs but they don't leave them un attended when the cleaners are there. This is also an insurance requirement.

Emmanual & his crew were very polite, friendly & respectiful. Everything was done to my expectations plus a few extras. Emmanual was also very prompt returning my first initial call. We scheduled a meeting time & he kept in touch with me if there was going to be any delays due to running jobs. We discussed details of the work to be done & Emmanual was also willing to negotiate a fair price which I could work with. He has done two duplicate houses for me on the same street the second of which was more costly because it involved more carpet cleaning but still we were able to negotiate a fair price. He is a very plesant person to work with & a very good communicator so I recommended him to a friend who was also very satisfied with the price, the work & his communication skills. Thanks Emmanual for a job well done.

Sparkletime was very responsive and did a wonderful job on our house the two times they have been out so far. We're fairly particular about how clean we want things to be when the cleaners leave, and they have not disappointed. The team will text the night before to remind us that a cleaning is upcoming, and they do a walk through after the house is clean to make sure that everything is in shape. I would highly recommend Sparkletime, they have been easy to work with and do a fantastic job.

I cannot praise Emmanuel enough. I am coordinating the house cleaning vendor for a family member. It was very helpful to have read the reviews previous to calling so I knew what to ask and what type of cleaning we expected so there was no miscommunication and no misquote. I was probably on the phone with Emmanuel for approximately 15-20 minutes and I felt this advance time was very well spent. In turn, he did not rush me. Thank you very much. NOTE: Based on Emannuel's quality and professionalism, I would heartily recommend.

We had purchased a big deal for the service, and it worked out really well. The guy's good team came to the house, and he is a very professional owner. They were on time as scheduled, they had good follow up, they were there to answer any questions, and they were a very professional group. I did not spend more than what I had paid for the big deal.

The provider showed up with one woman to clean my 4 bedroom home. I expressed doubt that one person could "deep clean" my house in one day. I was assured that she was "the best' and could do it. Two hours later, the provider showed up with another woman who was supposed to help. They declared the house clean after 3 1/2 hours. On the surface it looked tidy. On closer inspection, no small rugs were moved to clean under, baseboards were not dusted, blinds were dusted only as far as the (not very tall) workers could reach. It was not even a satisfactory light clean and for the "bargain price" of $219 it was no deal. I do not recommend Sparkletime Cleaning Service.

Response from Sparkletime Cleaning Service
We called this customer as we do with most of our customers to remind her of her appointment. She stated that she had forgotten about the appointment and was not ready for us to come into her home. She asked to reschedule. We were unable to reschedule for that week as we were fully booked and the customer decided to keep her appointment. We arrived on time for the appointment. We were not late. The customer was clearly upset that we were unable to reschedule her appointment for the date and time she wanted. We believe that this is the reason we were rated poorly by this customer. The customer paid for our “Last Chance: $219 Full Home Deep Housecleaning Deal which included one housekeeper making one visit and cleaning until the job is fully complete. At the customer’s request, we provided an additional cleaner at no additional charge. Despite the fact the customer purchased a one housekeeper deal, we still provided an additional cleaner. We do not hide the details of our offers. This customer is detail oriented. We doubt she failed to see the details of the package she purchased. We always do a post clean inspection with the customer. However, the customer did not allow the provider into the home to do a post clean inspection. She stated that she had checked everything and everything was fine. We prefer to do a post clean inspection with the customer, in order to ensure all areas are cleaned satisfactorily. We follow the principle of doing the job right the first time. If however, the customer is dissatisfied, we return at no additional cost to clean. Referring to our staff as “not very tall workers” is a personal attack. The height of a cleaner does not correspond to their competence as cleaners. Both cleaners are of average height, so I really don’t know the reason for that remark. Obviously an F rating for quality means no work was done at all or the house was left in a messier condition. The customer was clearly upset that we were unable to reschedule her appointment for the date and time she wanted.

Emmanuel was very courteous and responsive in setting up the appointment. I was interested in having the house deep cleaned prior to having our baby (due any day), and the listing for the Big Deal described the cleaning as "comprehensive" and included interior windows. Two very sweet ladies arrived and started cleaning right away. They did a wonderful job on the back of the house where they started: 2 bathrooms and the master bedroom were spotless. However, when I ran out to do some errands, it seems that the rest of the job was a bit rushed. I found dust in the kitchen window sills and the plantation shutters in the dining room weren't dusted. Maybe my standards are impossibly high right now, but for $279 I expected a really deep cleaning. 12/13 Update: Emmanuel immediately offered a fix to the problem, offering to come the next day to clean missed areas. I appreciate his willingness to correct the problem, although I can't take him up on the offer at the moment! I will consider Sparkletime for future cleaning.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it was fine. They came and did it; I never saw them, actually. I don't know exactly what they did and did not do, but the house is much cleaner now. It was somewhat expensive; I guess it was worth it. The house had not been cleaned for a long time.

The team consisted of two individuals. They showed up on time, we gave them a quick tour of the house. The discussed what they would be cleaning, and then they went off on their own to begin cleaning. Throughout the process, they were courteous, and respectful of all family members in the house. They cleaned for longer then I expected them too. Not that they were slow, there were *more* thorough then I thought they would be. Overall very satisfied.

They arrived on time. Two people cleaned the house. They were very thorough and dusted and cleaned everything. Even things that are very hard to reach were cleaned. The window sills were spotless, even in my finished basement. They worked for about 8 hours to get it perfect. I was very happy with the work and with the cleaners and the owner of the company, who came to check the quality of the work before they finished. I would definitely use them again.

The whole experience was excellent. It started with a call to Emmanuel who listened to my request for move out services and my need to have it done within a week. He asked the appropriate questions to determine the scope of work and immediately quoted a price and suggested a time to do the work. We negotiated a time on the weekend so I could list the house for sale by the following Wednesday. Emmanuel and the house cleaner arrived ahead of the scheduled time after he called me to see if I was okay with starting a half hour early. The service was complete within 6 hours - it was a large scope of work! I returned to the home after a call from Emmanuel that alerted me that they were finished. I inspected the entire house and I was amazed at how well every detail was done. The stove, refrigerators, shelves, floors and bathrooms were all addressed and thoroughly cleaned. I was thrilled and heartily recommend Sparkletime! Emmanuel and his worker were polite, professional and a pleasure with which to do business.
Description of Work: I contracted Sparkletime for move out cleaning services. They cleaned the entire interior of a 3 bedroom And 3 bath single family home and efficiency in-law apartment. Cleaning included dusting, floors, closets, stairs, 2 refrigerators, an oven, cooktop and all windows.

The technician they sent was fantastic. He was able to get out all of the stains. He was nice and professional and did a great job. He only did three rooms including the master and the master closet, which is a larger area. One of the stains was lipstick and he got that out. I do not believe we had any scheduling issues. Overall, this was a good experience.
