They have cleaned my home weekly to bi-weekly, and for a time I had a good team that did a great job. I have a large home that requires two people to ensure a quality job, but the standard has slipped when the team I had broke apart. I would have given them an average 'a' before but standards have slipped. The team I now have are not as thorough so will not rate them higher until they understand my expectations, or choose not to use their services any more. Scott, the owner is a great guy but I feel he is preoccupied which has caused some errors in scheduling, or dealing with any issues discussed. One strong positive I do need to offer is repair or replacement of damaged items should it happen, Overall, a good company, but things can improve, especially since we pay good money for the service.

When we arranged for Cleaning Authority to clean our home, they offered a great rate. We explained that we had moved out and that some pretty simple cleaning tasks needed to be done. We asked for general cleaning services: Vaccuming/mopping, wiping down appliances and cupboards, and wiping down walls and baseboards since we were going to paint. We were quoted 1 person at $25/hour coming for the afternoon, and were quoted between $125 and $225. Keep in mind that it's only a 2200 sq. ft house. This was all going straight through Scott (the owner). I arrived at my house that evening around 6:15 to paint. While the cleaners did a very good job on the blinds, inside of the fridge (which had already been cleaned, and is a fairly new fridge), and on the bathrooms, none of the walls had been wiped, the baseboards were as dirty as ever, and the floors were only passably clean. They had been wiped (tile and wood) or vacuumed, but contaminants were evident upon close inspection. Oh and they skipped entire rooms. I had to vacuum the entire storage area. And they had actually made the windows worse when cleaning the blinds. They told us that they would not clean windows (because that's super hard?) but at least they could not get them dirty and/or clean up after themselves. I figured hey, they charge a decent rate and it's obvious that they didn't stay long, I probably got an okay deal. If this were the whole story, I'd probably give them a 2 or 3 star review for a decent service at a reasonable price. But this is where it gets good. We get a bill for $300. I contacted Scott again and asked why the price was so high. They claim that they sent 2 people for 6 hours. I don't think that's even reasonably possible and when I asked what hours they claim to have been there, I did not get any response back. I feel that the owner of a business should really be responsive, but I haven't heard from him at all since I contacted him. And of course, they won't go back on that claim, and while they don't have proof they were there and actually working, I don't have solid evidence against it either. So I'm forced to pay $300 for a cleaning job I could have done by myself in 1-2 hours, max. My only course of action is to give them a 1 star review and hope that I can warn any of you reading this against working with them. Ever. They will lie to get your business and charge your card whatever they can.

Response from The Cleaning Authority
Wow, I take great offense to this review, especially the comment that :they lie to get your business. The customer was charged for 12 man hours of cleaning @ $25 per hour for a total of $300. We actually rounded down on time to save the customer a little money. The house was very dirty with heavy dust on the blinds, and mold and mildew in the showers, hard to remove stains in the cabinets and very dirty floors. Our cleaners take pride in the work they do and worked very hard at this house.

We fired them today. We have had to complain about an unsatisfactory job for the last 3 services. The management, to their credit, was quick to respond to our complaints and to send another crew out without additional charge to remedy the situation - this was done adequately. They sent two people for our scheduled cleaning today. They arrived later than the stated time and spent about 1 1/2 hours on a job that usually took 2-3 hours. They did not clean one bedroom at all. The kitchen counters were still dirty and there was food remnants from breakfast left on the table. They always leave a report about the special attention paid to certain areas. On today's report, they stated that they paid "special attention" to the floors. There were still visible spots and dirt on the hardwood floors in the kitchen and the family room. One room was not vacuumed at all. We have large dogs, so it is very clear if there has been a decent vacuuming job performed! The report also said that the upholstered furniture was vacuumed but our children had left crumbs on a couch which was still present after the "cleaning" job was completed. My husband was home during this cleaning service and they routinely are supposed to let him know when they are finished that he can review the job and make payment. They left without giving him the chance to review their performance. This service today was the last straw. I would not hire this company ever again!
Description of Work: They have cleaned our house for nearly 2 years and we have never been truly happy with their service but they were no worse than other companies we have worked with in the past. They sent one or sometimes two house cleaners to clean our 3300sq foot house.

I am so impressed with the amazing job they did for me. My home is so clean right now! I'm a single mom of 3 with a very demanding job. So, honestly, my house was quite dirty. I can't believe what they were able to get done in 6 hours of cleaning. Setting up the appt was really easy. They were very quick to respond and were able to fit me in almost immediately. I highly recommend this company. I wish I had thought to take some "before" pictures to show the miraculous transformation.

I found Cleaning Authority on Angie's List and sent them an email. They got back with me right away and we set up an initial appointment. I explained what I was looking for and Scott told me that they could do that. We set up the time for the cleaning crew to come to my house and do the initial clean. Two ladies showed up on time and went right to work. I don't have one complaint as to the quality of their work. I also feel like they are very thorough and move swiftly through the house. I have hired them to come back every other week. I am very pleased with the Cleaning Authority.
Description of Work: I had the Cleaning Authority come out and do a whole house clean the first time. I have now hired them to come every other week. They are very professional and thorough.

They were always on time and showed up when they said they would. They were consistent. They did what we agreed to do. They met my expectations and the service was acceptable. However, I will no longer be needing their services. I was not there during the time of the work but the owner and the people in the office were professional. Recently, I delayed the service to one week for a final move out cleaning. They accommodated my needs and explained what they were going to do. Their service was great.
Description of Work: I used their services for about a year. They did my regular housecleaning every two weeks. They cleaned the whole house on a rotational basis. We set up a plan. They did a light cleaning over the whole house but they did a thorough clean to different parts of the house.

Their service can be hit or miss. I can't communicate with them effectively because of a language barrier. Most of them don't speak English. However, some people can understand English. I requested Birdy, because she can speak English and she does a good job. They always come without fail.
Description of Work: I have been using them for over a year. They clean my entire duplex. They clean more vigorously in the kitchen and bathroom.

AWESOME, FANTASTIC!!! YOU WANT THE BEST DO NOT CALL ANY OTHER.
Description of Work: We have encountered a difficult situation; we inherited my parents home prematurely and with dealing with severe health issues was not a great thing. There has been so much work to do, packing up two homes and moving two homes while in the hospital every few days. I have not felt like having anyone in the home, therefore the house has been ignored and not cleaned for a while. It was filthy. I called within a day Scott was here to give me a walk thru bid. It was for a very deep cleaning, baseboards, blinds, screen doors, as well as the general whole home. We set an appointment for a few days later, the girls to arrive at 9. They arrived on time on the day scheduled. They worked so hard and this house has never been so clean. 4000 square feet in 4 hours with a bid of $175. WOW! EVERYTHING WAS DONE IT IS AWESOME! VERONICA AND MERIBEL ARE AMAZING. HONESTLY I DO NOT THINK THIS HOME HAS BEEN THIS CLEAN FOR LIKE EVER!!! THEY WERE VERY NICE, FRIENDLY AND HONEST... WOULD I USE THEM AGAIN? NOT JUST YES, BUT I HAVE SCHEDULED A BI WEEKLY CLEAN AND EVEN GET THE SAME GIRLS. YAHOO!!!

We had just moved in and I was unpacking. They came and did a fine job for two or three weeks. I hadn't put my jewelry box in order because during the move everything had gotten tangled up and mixed together. It was sitting on a shelf in my closet. As I went through my things I noticed some of my jewelry was missing some really expensive watches which had great sentimental value to me were gone. I called and spoke with the owner who told me that he had some problems with his mexican girls stealing before and that he would check and call me back. They then sent some other mexican girls over- one of whom was sick. I felt sorry for her but she continued working. When I pointed out to the other girl that my grill on my range needed to be cleaned she told me I could do it myself because she didn't have the necessary cleaners (I speak Spanish). I then noticed that more of my jewelry was gone which made me so livid that I called and told them never to come again. The owner never called me back. They really took advantage of me when I needed them most.
Description of Work: They came and vacuumed, dusted, cleaned and mopped floors. They don't do polishing or windows or doors.

Response from The Cleaning Authority
It is unfortunate that this customer's items are missing. Although no one knows for sure, I am quite sure that our employees DID NOT take these things. The cleaners in question have worked here since 2006 and have cleaned hundreds of houses in that time. This is the only customer that has accused them. The statement about having trouble with Mexican cleaners stealing is completely false. First of all I would never refer to our employees that way. Secondly it is just not true, we have had remarkably few accusations over the last 15 years. In most cases the customer has found the item later. The thing with the stove sounds strange as well, since all teams have products for cleaning stovetops

This company has been cleaning my house bi-weekly and now monthly for 6 months. I feel like the price is very fair and far cheaper from what I was paying previously from another cleaning gal. The ladies that clean are always on time and they move quickly but thoroughly throughout the house. I am very pleased to have found a quality cleaning service!
Description of Work: I have most of my 5000 sq. ft home cleaned 1 to 2 times a month. They have a rotation system for cleaning that assures every part of my house is cleaned thoroughly each month.
