Description of Work: The team did a fantastic job at cleaning my home. I have 4 dogs, so that's not an easy thing to do! They show up early, are very friendly and provide extra touches that no other cleaning service has provided before that brings a smile to my face! I am extremely picky and I am so impressed and pleased with them. No, I have no interest in the company, no, they are not friends or family; I'm being totally honest. Give them a try. Oh, the other item I like is that they use environmentally friendly cleaners and there is no harsh chemical smell. Actually, there is NO smell and again, I have 4 dogs! My kitchen sink was stained, as was my kids toilet. Nothing I tried worked. The very first time they cleaned my home, both the sink and the toilet was sparkling white again! My hubby said just that alone was worth the money!

Response from The Cleaning Authority - Knoxville
Good afternoon [Member name removed] Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience with our scheduling and or confirming times with you. You had signed up for an every four week service, for which a specific day and time is reserved for your home. The dates of the next service are provided at the time of each cleaning and we provide a confirmation call (I believe you requested text messages) two days in advance of each cleaning. Due to your travel schedule, we have been asked to reschedule many cleanings and due to your location, it has not always been possible. I would like to stress that communication records here show that we have been responsive and as proactive as possible, but the regular need to reschedule your cleanings is the root of your frustration. I would encourage you to reconsider our comprehensive key security program we offer our clients (with approx. 700+ participants and 8+ years of flawless security history). This would eliminate your need to constantly reschedule and minimize your communication needs. We try to be as flexible as possible (I believe we even coordinated your initial clean to be on a Saturday to accommodate your time needs due to our being in a heavy demand period). Our goal is to make life easier for you and with your travel demands, the key security program would help to do just that.

Description of Work: We obtained several bids from companies to clean our home every two weeks. The bid from The Cleaning Authority was very competitive and we retained them. The first crew that was sent to our house missed several items on the list that should have been done, or did not do them to the level we expected. A call was made to the office and they had people out here the next day to correct the issue. Some continued concerns regarding the job the first crew did led management of the company to initiate a change in the crew now working on our home. We are very pleased with the work the crew does now. We are also very pleased with the responsiveness of Michelle with The Cleaning Authority. Anytime we have had any issue she has either phoned or e-mailed us regarding the issue and has been very prompt in seeing that things are corrected to our satisfaction.

We hired them based on an Angie's List recommendation. They did an initial cleaning that was expensive, but it is less for the routine cleaning maintenance. They are very thorough. They gave us a lot of options for customizing what we would have cleaned.

They generally do a good job. Compared to other cleaning services that we have used they are reliable. Their price is good. I pay them $100 to clean 2000 square feet house. The people who come are friendly. They generally do a pretty good job in cleaning.
Description of Work: I use The Cleaning Authority LLC for house cleaning. They were here yesterday.

They have been very thorough so far and I like the idea that they had a specific individual assigned to do your house. They have been very punctual and the ladies that clean my house do a good job. They have better quality control than the past company I used because the owner spots checks the cleaning from time to time. I will use them in the future.

They are wonderful. They do a great job. They are always good. I have been using them for over a year. They clean the main level which is probably 1500 sq. ft. I really like them. I pay per visit. What they do is a rotation of four areas; so they come every two weeks and every two weeks they really super clean one area but they hand scrub my kitchen floor every time they come which is amazing to me. They do everything, and this week they did the powder room, master bath and the hall bath. They scrub the grout and give extra attention to the shower door. Doors and door frames are hand-wiped, knickknacks are individually cleaned, cabinets and windowsills are hand-wiped. Floors are given extra attention. Faucets, sinks and drains are washed. We usually get the same two people to come out, but because we were out of town last week, the people who we get normally didn't come, and we had two different people today who didn't speak English but they cleaned very well. They have a chart that they bring with them that tells them exactly what they are to do. We had two ladies clean our house for the last ten years before that. They were nice and we could trust them. I knew they were not going to steal anything from me, but a lot of days they would do only half the job, and they charged $60; so for $6 more, I get better service. They are always on time; in fact, today I was at a rental property. They called me and when I went home, they were sitting on my front porch waiting for me; it was 91 degrees. I would continue to use them in the future.

Great!
Description of Work: So far so good... the two deep cleanings that they start with as part of their program have been incredibly thorough and careful with our things. A quality control manager has visited each time in the midst of the cleaning, the cleaners have been very nice and very hardworking. The house looks great and thanks to the environmentally friendly products they use, I am not sneezing afterward because of some fake chemical scent in the air. The only hang-up was that they did change the time on us for their second visit by leaving a voicemail -- which I didn't get! They showed up three hours earlier than they were expected and my husband was in the middle of a meeting and had to send them away. But they were very courteous and it was only a momentary hassle. They came back promptly at the time they had promised. I'll update in a couple of months once we have a few more of their regular cleanings under our belt. Update: We've now moved away from Knoxville, but we used them for four months and were absolutely delighted with the quality and thoroughness of their service. I wish there was a Cleaning Authority franchise in our new city -- they rock!

I have used them for a year and the cleaning is inconsistent. They are punctual and reliable, but it depends on which crew you get as to the quality of cleaning provided. I'm not sure if it is the green cleaning products or the crew, but it never feels deep cleaned. It could be a combination of both. The management does quality checks, which is a great idea only if it helps to improve the quality of the job.
Description of Work: They are a Green cleaning company and clean all areas of home. Extra services on a rotational basis.

Response from The Cleaning Authority - Knoxville
We always strive to give our clients great service. While very unusual, if at any time a client has any questions or concerns with their cleaning we will make sure to take care of any quality issues within 24 hours. We are human, but we are very well trained humans so we do not expect our clients to have to put up with 'marginal' service. This is why we have become the #1 residential cleaning service in West Knoxville, Lenoir City and Oak Ridge. A specific note regarding this client: This client desired a three-week rotating schedule which, by the nature of a non-regular schedule resulted in having different teams clean her home. The client was made aware when she began her service that a three-week rotating schedule is a highly unusual frequency and we would not be able to guarantee her the same cleaning team as a result. We strive to keep regular teams with the same homes for our weekly, biweekly and every four week customers.
