They were very responsive, reliable and hard working. The owner was always very responsive and immediately corrected anything that was less than perfect. There was a language barrier with the on site personnel so sometimes we dealt with things after the fact. We often were not home and were pleased with their timely and quality work. For a smaller home they worked quite well so I would use them again.
Description of Work: Royal Flush Cleaning did a complete once over dusting, vaccuming, cleaning the kitchen and the bathrooms.

The work was okay and they did it a couple of times, but I had to stop using them. The price was reasonable. I stopped using them because I had to monitor them too much. The quality of work depended on what group I got. I had to really outline specifically to the owner in detail the stuff that I wanted cleaned and had to reiterate again that I needed somebody that could understand what I was saying when I was talking to them. Most of them were Spanish speaking. At least one of them needed to be able to understand what I was saying and I didn't get that all the time. I had two good cleans and two not so good. The first time they were lousy on punctuality, but the other two times they were great. The cleaners that did a good job were professional, but the ones that were not very good at cleaning were not. Sometimes the owner was not the best.

Response from Royal Flush Cleaning Inc
We could not send a consistent crew because this member did not want a consistent schedule. If a customer has a regular schedule, then we definitely send the same crew that they prefer. Though all supervisors speak, read, and understand English, some are more fluent than others. Therefore, I always try to match the customer with a team with whom they like, and easily communicate. Again, this is ensured by a consistent schedule.

The work was pretty good. The experience has been generally positive. It is probably not the most exquisite housecleaning I've ever seen, but they are reliable and the value is good.

They have been absolutely fabulous. The women are friendly, detailed and efficient. The only downside is we are never quite clear when they are coming to our house! We wish the office would call us a few days prior to their visit with a reminder.

They did a very good job. They were quick and professional. I was there when they did the job. They were very pleasant but they did not waste any time making chit-chats. They just came in and did the job. The price was reasonable. They were cleaning it for the sake of the open house. I was very impressed when I saw how well they worked. They worked for 4 or 4 ? hours. There were 3 people and they were very good.

IT was a gentleman and a lady who supposedly cleaned it. The house was not clean, specifically the floors. The gentlemen tried to argue with me about it. I called the owner. We decided that they would leave and I would not pay them for what they did do. I got a new company and did not use them again. The owner handled the whole thing perfectly.

Response from Royal Flush Cleaning Inc
This member requested a move in cleaning. When we talked on the phone, she said that she needed a moderate cleaning, and I sent a crew to clean. Much to their surprise, the counter tops, floors, and most surfaces had been sprayed with paint. Excessive paint removal is a different type of cleaning than a routine housecleaning, and is normally cost a lot more. Nevertheless, the cleaners attempted to remove some of the paint, and she insisted that they use their finger nails to remove all of the paint with their finger nails. When they refused to use their nails, she said that they were not cleaning the floor properly, and she began cursing at them, and told them to get the "F' out. That is when she called me, and I told her that she should not pay due to the circumstances.

I realize that happiness with a cleaning service is somewhat subjective. I am not overly picky about cleanliness, but just wanted a basic, good reliable housecleaning week in and week out. I also didn't want to have to provide anything, be there, supervise, or tell the housekeepers what to do. I wanted all of this at a very reasonable cost. If this is your profile you will be very happy with Royal Flush Cleaning. I first sent an email through their website that for some reason the owner never received. So a few days later when I called at 9pm I was surprised to directly reach Sandy, the owner. We chatted about what I wanted and she agreed to come out the following Saturday afternoon to walk through the house and give me a quote. I have a large 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath house but I don't use all the rooms. She agreed to a basic price for cleaning the rooms I use and gave me a sliding scale for when I wanted the other rooms cleaned. It took us a few weeks to work out a schedule that suited me, but since then her housekeepers have been reliable and do a good job. In the beginning Sandy always checked to see how I liked the service and responded to any feedback I gave her. Now I do nothing but leave a check and come home to a wonderfully clean house. I like knowing that Sandy will respond if I ever have concerns or need anything. And all of this is at a great price which suits me perfectly!

I needed some short notice cleaning of the ground floor of my home. Royal Flush responded promptly and two women arrived ahead of schedule a few days later. They finished in 1.75 hours. I was most impressed with their efficiency, quality, diligence, and overall performance. The women were pleasant and very hard working, using their own equipment and materials. My finacee, who is a "neat freek" was very much impressed when she saw the finished job. I will definately use them again.

I got to know about them through Angie?s list and they had really high rating. They did an absolutely rotten job. When I went there to check the house was covered completely with dust. They were taking advantage of working in a sick person?s house and somebody who can?t protest. I give them a black mark for that. The price was cheap. However, I think they failed the test.

Response from Royal Flush Cleaning Inc
I found it odd that this report came seven months after the service ended, and I wondered why? I was shocked to hear this, because her mother only voiced some concerns once, and when I followed up, she said all was fine. Communication was a particularly difficult because her mother always communicated with me, and I didn't have direct communication with the customer receiving service. I was appalled, however, to hear that her mother thought we were taking advantage of her daughter, when we gave her the best price we could, and came in the afternoons, whereby she would not be rushed in the mornings. I was not aware that there was any cleaning issue, other than the one time. When she discontinued service, she said that her daughter was moving, and no longer needed service.

contacted once I found them on Angie's list. Competitive rate; I called the number on their website and within a few days decided to use them based on overall reputation and price. I felt that I needed to follow up with this company. After sending them very detailed directions from googlemaps (I was asked to provide my address as well as directions from gaithersberg-- my address is very easy to find on mapquest/googlemaps), the team was late by 1.5-2 hours because they were lost and could not find my address. Quality of the work was ok; the team was very professional once they were at the house and engaged in work.

We needed a company to do a top to bottom biweekly house cleaning (baseboards, ceiling fans, etc). The owner, Sandy Stillwell, was responsive and prompt. She communicated with email and phone and any problems with communication were my fault. She sent a team (it was a while ago, so forgive me that I can't remember their names), that was excellent. They went above and beyond what I expected. The first time they came, they stayed for 5 hours, so I paid them extra (I couldn't with a clear conscience pay what Sandy quoted). I had them come every other week until our budget stopped allowing it...but if we ever need them again, we will not hesitate to call! dates are ongoing, so i only put one of 6 or so times.

Company owner has not followed up on theft. Claims to have insurance and bonding but has done nothing to resolve theft issues, my wedding and engagement ring were stolen and I was told "there is nothing else she can do to assist." Does not respond to email requesting information needed for follow-up. Does not actually have insurance or bonding to cover theft that occurred during cleaning.

Response from Royal Flush Cleaning Inc
I was shocked to hear this allegation of my employee, Blanca, because she has been working for Royal Flush Cleaning for fifteen years with an absolute clean record. When she began, her background check was completely clean, and I recently completed another background check, which was clean again. While she was working, Blanca said that the members asked her to empty her vacuum bag, to check for the wife's missing wedding rings, which she did. (Ironically, Blanca said that she noticed vacuum cleaners in other rooms with dirt cups sitting beside them.) I was puzzled when the member said that her rings were stolen from her dresser drawer. She confirmed that she was certain that they were in her drawer. Why then did she ask Blanca to sift through the vacuum bag, if they couldn't have been on the floor in the first place? I was also confused about her response regarding the quality of work. When I first asked her, she said that she was happy with the good thorough cleaning, but on her Angie's report was unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, even though the member was a one time customer, I still gave her my full attention and support. When she first reported this to me, (which was oddly four days after the occurrence), I first asked her to please search through all of her belongings, and give it a few days to see if it surfaces. When she confirmed a few days later that she did not see it, I immediately filed a claim with our bond company. The bond company said that there would need to be a court conviction, before they could reimburse for this. I told the member this, and provided all of the necessary information to her to proceed. The member said that we are not properly insured, however, the fact is, that there must be a conviction before they will pay, which my agent personally explained to the members. Though I filed the claim in a timely manner, it still took several days to hear back from the claims dept. I told the member that I was waiting for an answer from them, with regular follow-up, but she said that I was unresponsive. Yet, I did all I could in this situation. Blanca has been placed on temporary suspension until investigations are completed.

The first team sent by the firm did not follow instructions and worked superficially. A second team has improved the service, but still lacks real attention to detail (does not dust regularly under the beds or the bedroom fans, although we were told they would do so); forgets to dust tops of bathroom cabinets and under tables; does not clean carefully around faucets and door handles; does not always thoroughly wipe appliances, cooktop, or under kitchen cabinets. The owner, Sandy Stillwell, has been responsive to our requests for improved service, but I am not sure the team always gets the message. Given the reasonable price, however, we may just be expecting too much.
Description of Work: Clean single-family house once every two weeks: Clean kitchen and bathroom surfaces; wash kitchen, sun room, three bathroom floors each time, dust mop parkett floors in living room, dining room, TV room, three bedrooms each time; wash parkett floors approximately every 8 weeks; dust furniture and window blinds, vacuum one (small) rug in living room; empty trash baskets.

The painters took longer than expected, though only because they were being careful. Still, the cleaner had to work around them. It's a second floor unit and he brought a ladder to reach the outside windows. The cleaning was, for the most part, meticulous. He was there for nine hours; it took that long, I'm sure, because the painters were in his way. He also gave me some points on how to keep the floor looking good. The cleaner also steam cleaned the carpets. It saved me having to bring in one more person. I will have to redo a bit of that, but again, I'm sure the length of the day contributed to that. Sandy was good to deal with. She communicated well by e-mail. She worked with me on timing of the job and was professional in answering questions.

Overall, it was a bad experience. However, the owner came to rectify damage done and did not charge for the service, so she was professional and responsive. I had met with the owner to receive an estimate for whole house cleaning and was interested in using this firm on an ongoing basis. The owner said at least one of the cleaning crew would speak English well. Neither of the two women who came spoke English well, so it was difficult to communicate what I wanted. I was present for the cleaning and the women showed up on time. I tried to show them what I wanted in the entire house but they wanted to start upstairs. I asked them to come see me (I was working on the back porch) when they started the 1st floor, especially the kitchen. They never did and proceeded to clean my stainless steel refrigerator with their cleanser rather than the one I wanted to give them. The next day, the refrigerator looked terrible - streaked and scratched from whatever chemical they used to clean it. I thought it was irreparable, but the owner came several weeks later to look at it and worked to restore it. To our surprise, she was able to. She did a fantastic job and I have no doubt that if she had done the cleaning, our house would have been spotless. However, in addition to the refrigerator problem, the crew who came did not do a good job overall. Baseboards were dusty, shelves were not dusted and they cleaned around items on the kitchen counter, the desk, and shelves rather than moving and cleaning them. The ceiling fan was not cleaned and several other things were missed. I tried to communicate this at the end of the cleaning, my dissatisfaction and they didn't understand. They retouched the specific spots I called attention to, but didn't understand that I meant all baseboards, not just the one I pointed to. Also, we were supposed to receive a free interior refrigerator cleaning with the first cleaning, but the cleaning crew said they didn't have enough time and we could get it next time. Of course, there is no next time as we will not be using this company again. That said, the owner rectified the situation with the refrigerator and did not charge for the overall cleaning, so she held up her guarantee without hassle.
