CLEAN COMMANDO

Things went great at first. Owner was fast, energetic and took on heavy tasks without complaint. However one visit lasted over 5 hours and when I asked what took so long, the owner admitted he had been conducting "other business" on his phone while I waited, driving around, etc. for him to finish. He also raised his price at least twice (by the end, it was double) even though I tipped generously. I tried to hang in with him since he was generally friendly, fast and efficient. However toward the last few visits I started finding broken objects; a 7-pointed crystal ($65), a vintage doll with eyeglasses (found glasses bent and placed on a windowsill across the room; not expensive but one of a kind). Then, a clock, which had obviously fallen from a shelf in the bathroom and put back, broken (it was smashed, not obvious on first glance). Finally. the cord of my treadmill was severed, obviously run over by a vacuum cleaner; it was fine when I left the house (I had used it that day) and "sliced" when I got back. Nothing else could have severed it but a vacuum cleaner, it was sliced clean through on a long diagonal. Not only did the owner deny every single item of damage, when each time I inquired politely about it, he got nasty with me (he even said, "I could fix that power cord for you but I'm not going to bother to do it, there is no way it was cut by a vacuum cleaner" (Huh? What else could have happened to it?)). I live alone and obviously would remember if I had dropped a clock off a high shelf and smashed it; I hadn't done it, or any of the other things. Owner always worked very fast, played LOUD heavy metal music and seemed a little hyper (overly agitated at the least thing); once he left my dog out in the rain (forgot to let him back in when he was finished) and it was freezing cold. Of course I know accidents happen but my problem was his raging denial and refusal to discuss the issue. I asked for my key back and he mailed it back with no note and that was the end of it. Very sad after I think about 2 years' of a good, definitely decent relationship.

Mr. Hunke advised that initial cleaning would take 14 hrs. I had already had deep cleaning done so it should not required that much work. Plus I have had several cleaning people & never did it take that amount of work & I would allow them to clean the guest rooms which I was not having him do. Very overpriced for a home that is kept clean. ($350)

We were very pleased with the work that Clean Commando did. They were thorough, and used family-friendly cleaning products--all of which they supplied themselves. They even brought their own cleaning rags, mops, brooms, and vacuum cleaners! If any small detail was missed, all we had to do was point it out, and Matthew cleaned it immediately. Throughout the cleaning process, Matthew and Liz were pleasant, friendly, and professional. It can sometimes be a trying experience to have people in your house all day, but we were completely comfortable with Matthew and Liz.

Thorough and excellent.

Clean Commando has been cleaning our house for about a year now. He provides all the cleaning products and equipment. I like this because it spares me last-minute trips to the store to replenish supplies. For a fee and adequate notice, Clean Commando takes on extra tasks, like oven cleaning. My husband, who is typically oblivious to the overall state of the house, remarked that he is highly impressed with how thorough Clean commando is. You've gotta be really good to impress the oblivious!
