Services we offer
The Cleaning Authority of the Lehigh Valley offers weekly, biweekly and every 4 week cleans. Also offered is move in, move out cleans and one time only cleans.
Horrible the company came out for three scheduled cleanings, two out of the three cleanings they had to come back and re clean since the job was not done right. I hired another cleaning person and when she was hired she discovered the cleaning authority had been sweeping the dirt under my throw rug instead of actually cleaning.

Description of Work: Owner came in with lots of promises that his service would perform but when the cleaning crew came doing the first service it was mediocre at best, causing us to call and complain. They did send another crew a few hours later who did do a good job, but this should have been done right first without our complaint so we have chosen not to use again. In addition the second crew broke an iPad stand which the owner said he would return reimburse but that payment has yet to come after three weeks. I would caution potential customers to go elsewhere.

The cleaning people use at my house went into the drawers and took prescription drugs - at least on two occasions that we can tell. We ended up counting the pills before they came and then was able to conclude they took them when counting again right after they left. Police were called and a report was given. The owner was called and I had to ask for a refund she did NOT even offer when told of what happened -- do not trust the people she has working for her!

Response from The Cleaning Authority - Lehigh Valley
Mr. [Member Name Removed] We understand your anger and frustration! We also feel angry and frustrated and wish we had learned about the incident sooner. As you know the proper authorities are handling the situation and we are certain it will be resolved appropriately. Although we take precautions by doing background checks, it is not full proof. Those that have no criminal record can still turn out misguided and deceitful. Yes, the owner did not offer a refund at first but had no problem refunding your entire amount of the clean and offered anything else that you requested to rectify the situation. However to judge the entire company with many hardworking and honest employees may also be misguided. The Cleaning Authority has withstood 10 years of ups and downs and will learn from this situation. We continue to strive to be the best residential cleaning company, even with this setback.

Description of Work: I use this service on a bi-monthly basis. After checking a few services, I found the cost the most reasonable for the service that they provide. |There have been a few weeks that there were a few things not completed, but after bringing it to their attention, the service has been better. On the few occasions that I have been home, the cleaners have been courteous and efficient.

I called the national number, and they took about a week to set us up with the walkthrough appointment. The local office sent a representative to do the walkthrough/estimate, and all I can say is..wow. The lady they sent was both arrogant and aggressive. We are easy going people and not even picky about detail; we just want someone to have our home cleaned on a basic level. We had a regular person for the last four years who is now retiring, and never had trouble. This lady out-and-out picked a fight with my wife, and I don't even understand why? I did my best to keep my wife and this lady calm, and kept things light with a smile to no avail, this woman just made us feel very uncomfortable to even allow her into our home. I am sorry, but this is unacceptable and unprofessional. For the record, I did call the national office and gave feedback directly.

Description of Work: I have been using their service for 1 year now and an very happy. Very professional, reliable. Owner came to my home for initial estimate, went through details of services of provided and price. They have a great system of rotating areas of detailed cleaning every 4 cleans. For example, the whole house gets cleaned well every time, but once every 4 cleans the kitchen will get extra details cleaned like hood vents, inside appliances etc. They are also very accommodating, I have an unusual work schedule and they have been very flexible. I think most people will have the same crew if they always use the same day of the week, since my schedule varies I have had several different crews come and have yet to be disappointed. Highly recommend!

We have used Cleaning Authority for years. They bring their own supplies, and my house does not smell like chemicals when they leave--it just smells clean. Office staff is extremely helpful and professional. Punctuality is sometimes an issue, but when brought to the managers attention, it is addressed. They rotate the areas of detailed cleaning, and I truly have no complaints with their service.

It is very good. They are very efficient. They are always on time and they do a nice job. When I started with them I talked to the owner and she explained how she operates the business. Although it is not personalized, she has a team and she has some people come out and inspect on occasion. It is consistently good. I started using them in October or November of last year. They are reliable and do a good job. It is a consistent operation.

I got a call back within 24 hours. Met with Doreen at the house and she provided an estimate. She was very accomodating and professional. SOmeone comes and checks the work that is done by employees. Employees asked questions or provided information as needed. Worked proficiently and steadily---finished in less time than I expected based on how much there was to do. They charge by the minute, so you pay only for the actual time spent. They missed the back stairs, but it was understandable as the door was closed, the real estate agent had come and was measuring rooms so it got a little chaotic at the end. They cleaned 16 areas well.
Description of Work: Thorough cleaning of 2 story home prior to placing on real estate market. Two people worked about 4 1/2 hours. They cleaned 11 rooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, 2 halls, foyer and stairs.

The initial contact was through their email: tcalv@rcn.com. To schedule them for routine cleaning, they will start with the detailed cleaning then come back and rotate through different sections of the house.
Description of Work: My house is for sale and they performed what is called a detailed cleaning. I have a three bedroom, one and a half bath twin (1200 sq ft). The overall cleaning took about three hours. They had two people in to clean. They brought all of their own (green) cleaning products. I just let them know where my spare key was and they let themselves in.

Nothing to add. The job was done to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: Two women team came to my home (three bedroom, two & half bath, large kitchen, dining / living room & family room) on time with all the supplies needed. They did a thorough professional cleaning job. They did not rush (approx two hours) I was so satisfied that they are now scheduled for cleaning service once a month going forward.
