MAID 4 HIRE

Perfect. Absolutely Perfect!

Imagine a cleaning company that doesn't want to clean! Maid 4 Hire started out strong and then I fired them after a string of service errors, billing errors and shoddy service. I responded to their $50 promotion and signed up for their Plus Service. After 6 weeks, my service was inexplicably changed to Basic and I was 'encouraged' to upgrade to a level of service I was already paying for. There are apparently no records kept because the owner could not verify that she ever even knew which package I signed up for. Some weeks checklists were left outlining which work they claimed was done, other weeks no checklists were left. They do a cursory job at best. For example, they will only vacuum around furniture. I took the list right from their website and went through my house looking to see that windowsills were wiped, etc. Without fail I found work that was not completed. They charged me the rate for a house that is 1000 sq ft. larger than my house, claiming that although the website states the rates are based on house size, they charge based on the 'job'. I had to have them return to re-clean after the last scheduled date as it was clear that nothing was done. The floors were not washed and the staff left cleaning supplies behind. Hiring a cleaning service should remove stress from your life, not add to it. The emails they have sent complain that it takes more than 2 hours to clean 4 rooms. If you don't want to clean a customer's house, don't offer cleaning services. Don't advertise that you work to satisfy your customers' needs and then complain that there is too much work to do. I have 3 kids (including an autistic 4 year old), a full-time career, a 2nd home and a terminally ill parent in a nursing home. Hiring Maid 4 caused more problems than it solved. If you want to come home to a clean house and not be overcharged, hire another cleaning service, which is what we have done! They are happy to take my $130 without complaint!
