I chose them based on the reviews on Angie's list. I have been less than impressed. I have used them for over a year. The worst part is the communication. One, the cleaners barely speak English. Two, it is very difficult to reach the owner. The voice mail box on her cellphone is usually full so you have to use email. Consequently if they don't show up or you have a problem that you would like address while they are at your house, you never know if you will be able to reach her while they are at your house. The people who clean my house are very nice but I am not entirely sure that they know how to really clean - especially granite. I plan to look for another cleaner.

Response from A Cleaning Service
Member, This is the first I have heard that you were not happy with the service. I always welcome the opportunity to provide you with the level of service that you expect and deserve. Unfortunately I was unaware of any of your concerns as your emails to me for the last 15 months included unsolicited statements that you were "happy with the service", "the crew is doing a great job" and that you "had no complaints". I believe in being honest and fair with my clients and I appreciate the same. Your posting on March 1 was for the February 15 service; I was in touch with you that day and you wrote "everything looks good". You have also indicated that you would not use my service again, but we cleaned your home at your request on Saturday, March 2. Again, you told the crew that you were pleased with the service. Unfortunately, it appears that your cleaning needs will be best served elsewhere. Best wishes

My husband gave me the gift of hiring a cleaning company for Christmas so I have been looking at Angie's list to find one. I contacting 3 companies. 2 companies returned my emails. Based on a description of my house, A Cleaning Service gave me a great quote. In fact the quote was so good that I asked that they come out and see the house to confirm the quote. Charles and Priscilla arrived right on time. I showed them around the house and they confirmed the quote. I thought that they would just look around and come back another time to clean but they came prepared to clean today! I am now sitting in the upper level of my house and it smells and looks better than it has in years. The lower level is immaculant. They cleaned quickly, removed all garbage, they even played with my Labrador retriever while they were cleaning. I offered to crate him but they declined and even put all of his toys away as they cleaned.
Description of Work: I live in a 3 story house. My husband has his home office on the third floor so we will not have them clean that level. We are also not having them clean our guest room since we rarely use it. Our 2 levels consist of 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a small library, a family room, dining room and living room, a kitchen and small laundry room. They dusted and polished everything, cleaned bathrooms, vacuumed carpets and 2 sets of stairs, cleaned inside of windows, cleaned hardwood floors, cleaned all appliances in kitchen, they even arranged all of the stuffed animals and pillows on my daughters' beds. I just can't say enough.

I have a 2 bed 2 bath house and finally decided to call a cleaning service. They arrived on time and started right away. They cleaned every surface and even organized my various trinkets. Everything has been disinfected and smells fantastic. I have newly finished wood floors so I requested they use water and my Bona cleaner for spot cleaning. (They bring thier own supplies)They were pretty fast, done in three hours. I have to say this is the cleanest the house has ever been! I will be putting them on a bi weekly schedule. The price was $100 and I tipped $20.

As the weeks passed on the quality of work slowly started to diminish. I called the owner of the company to complain about the quality of work the ladies were doing. The owner yelled at me because I called her on a Sunday. They were very unsympathetic when I explained what time I wanted them to come, due to my wife being terminally ill. There customer service was lacking and I won't use this company moving forward.

Response from A Cleaning Service
Dear customer, As I have said before, I am very sorry about your wife's illness. The manager and I were not told there were any concerns about the quality of the cleaning, our conversations with you revolved around your needing us to arrive at a certain time and when we arrived at that time, you would tell the crew that you did not want the services that day. Given your circumstances I waived charges for the crew member's time and fuel costs on each occurrence. I understand and sympathize with your situation but unfortunately we cannot provide services to people who are unable to conduct themseslves in a civil and appropriate manner. Best wishes

I have been impressed with A Cleaning Service since my intital contact with the company. They have been responsive, flexible and easy to work with. I had received quotes from several other companies and found A Cleaning Service very reasonable. Many companies charge high hourly rates for the first clean, but not this company. The first clean was the same price as the regular weekly service and was the same as the quote I received over the phone. I have had two services so far and have had the same crew. They have been thorough and fast. So far so good!

After having a private house cleaner who damaged my home, and then trying the Maids (which was very expensive and they did a horrible job because they seemed to not care), I looked on Angie's List for a house cleaning service and found this company. Because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, i decided to give them a try. I left a message for Beatriz. My call was returned promptly, in less than an hour. She was professional, and absolutely lovely. She thanked me for the opportunity to earn my business, which I thought was very respectful and very nice. Today, a cleaning crew of 3 showed up at my house to clean. They were prompt. Arrived within the 30 minute window I was given. They were fast. Fast because they were good cleaners, not because they were doing a half-baked job. My house smells lovely, and is thoroughly cleaned. It sparkles! The price was very reasonable. The ladies who came to clean had a wonderful energy about them. They worked really well as a team and were professional, hard working and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Believe me, I have tried other services and was very disappointed. A Cleaning Service is top notch! I look forward to working with them in the future.
Description of Work: Excellent!

I was excited to find this service after reviewing their website. I called 3x. In my 3rd message I finally mentioned A.L. and not being happy having not gotten a return call. That prompted a call back, but they were busy a week and a half later, when I needed them. They didn't offer any other days or seem bothered in the least that it took so long to return my call or that they were unavailable. They may clean well, but if your time is limited and you value someone who answers customers' calls, or at the least promptly returns them, I would pick a different cleaning service. *** UPDATE: I do not live in AZ, this was my billing address on the CC I registered with Angie's List, as I just moved to Fairfax. I called both numbers listed on AL and your website; Beatriz eventually returned my call.

Dear Member, it appears that you may have posted a review for the wrong company. My company does not provide services in Arizona. We are in Virginia, Maryland and DC. While I have expressed concerns to my Angie's List representative (who is aware of the areas my company services) that an erroneous posting could cost me business, they are unable to use a common sense approach and will not remove this review until you have contacted them. I would appreciate it if you could please do so at your earliest convenience.

They arrived later than expected, but they set to work immediately requiring virtually no direction. By the time the 2 workers left, the house sparkled. Shower doors and bathrooms were scrubbed, all surfaces dusted, floors vacuumed and mopped. We have scheduled Lia and Nellie to come every 2 weeks on a regular basis. What a joy to have the entire house clean at the same time! Beatriz, the owner, is very responsive and great to deal with. This is the first time I have ever had professional housecleaners, and I feel lucky to have connected with A Cleaning Service.

I desperately needed my daughter's single family home cleaned for an upcoming Thanksgiving party. The owner, Beatriz Sampaio, was extremely understanding and offered to provide the service since her company also performs cleaning services for my home monthly. She agreed to have the cleaning coincide with my regularly scheduled cleaning. The workers provided the same excellent thorough services as they do routinely for my own home. Everything was cleaned including the kitchen and bathrooms that had been neglected for far too long. This happens to families that work daily and have children. There is never enough time. Dusting, mopping, vacuuming, sanitizing, deodorizing and even putting away the toys was done with proficiency. My daughter and son-in-law were very surprised to see their home looking so immaculate. So much so that they now have their home cleaned monthly. A Cleaning Service provides old fashioned quality and attention to detail. It will be our pleasure to use their services for years to come.
Description of Work: Housecleaning was performed by a wonderful staff of two women who are always upbeat and enjoy their work. They cleaned three very dirty bathrooms and one ugly kitchen as well as the rest of the three story single family home. General and detailed cleaning was preformed. Particular attention was done to the bathrooms and kitchen, but overall, the entire house was spotlessly clean. High and low dusting including blinds, vacuuming, mopping of wood floors, cleaning of microwave oven, stove, exterior of refrigerator, countertops, etc.

Little touches that mean alot. They folded the toilet paper, I requested that the doors be closed (due to dogs) and everything I have asked has been completed in a efficient and professional manner. Great team.
Description of Work: The team of two, cleaned my home, they worked around two big boxers while cleaning and neither seemed to mind. My house smelled clean (which I love), and they dusted items that my previous cleaners didn't dust in some time. Excellent job! And Beatriz is very responsive to your needs.

We've had a good experience with them overall. Beatriz, who runs the company, has been very responsive. The first few times they came, we were not satisfied with the floors which were left a little sticky feeling, like they hadn't been rinsed properly after mopping, but I told her about it and they were better the next visit. We haven't had any complaints since. This isn't a spring cleaning sort of scrub down, but I'm very happy with the regular cleaning service, expecially for the price which is quite reasonable given that it's a large house.

It went well. They were very affordable and we thought they did a good job for the price. Because they came so frequently at first, the cleaning was never very deep and there were a few times when we had to request that they address certain areas better. They were responsive to feedback. They also worked VERY quickly. The crew of ladies was always the same, and they were prompt. The woman who does the scheduling was very uncommunicative--she never answered the phone and only replied to voicemails irregularly. This resulted in a scheduling mix-up once, and the cleaning crew was very apologetic, which I appreciated.
Description of Work: The crew (2-3 women) came first on a weekly basis for 6 months, then on a monthly basis for about 2 months. They cleaned all three levels of our house, including dusting, mopping, vaccuuming, changing sheets, emptying trash bins, washing dishes in sink, wiping down appliances, cleaning the interior of microwave and fridge (upon request for an additional small fee), and cleaning the bathrooms.

My previous cleaning service abruptly went out of business and I needed to find a new service. I found "A Cleaning Service" on Angie's list and gave Beatriz a call. She gave me a very reasonable estimate over the phone and we made arrangements for a team to come out and clean my house. All I can say is WOW!! The team was punctual, professional, and did an outstanding job for an extremely reasonable price. When they were finished, my house was shining. We have dogs and there was not a strand of dog hair anywhere. No dust, no smudges, everything was perfect. The following cleaning was just as impressive. Everything is in place, everything is spotlessly clean making the house a pleasure to come home to. I am an extremely particular customer, and A Cleaning Service has completely impressed me. I am recommending them to everyone looking for a house cleaning service.

A Cleaning Service is an awesome cleaning company! We have a our house cleaned once a month. Beatriz, the owner, is very responsive and she has a great staff. Beatriz sends the same woman to clean our house every month, which saves me time from having to show someone new every month where thing are, etc. Also, the staff speaks great English! (I've had bad communication experiences with other companies). The cleaning staff cleans in easy to skip areas such as the fans and light fixtures. Beatriz takes credit cards and will communicate over email--both of which I find very convenient!

Easy, professional, considerate. It continues to be so as well. I sent out several emails based on anges list reviews. Beatriz, the owner, got back to me right away with a quote. I cannot overemphasize how great this was. All the other emails (with only one or two exceptions) got back ot me asking for a time to come out and give an estimate. I work hours that made this very difficult - and moreover, I was not really looking to interview or shop. I just wanted to find someone to help! :) And I needed it FAST - guess what, Beatriz could help with that too. We set up a time for a first cleaning within several days. I was there for the first one. Two women introduced themselves and got to work immediately. They worked so hard and so fast - and it still took a while just because of how great of a job they did! I could not believe how great it felt to finally come home to a clean place. It even smelled good! I was squealing with delight. Since then they have come every two weeks and have been flexible when necessary (I have twice had to reschedule cleanings. I sent Beatriz an email, and within hours usually have a friendly, accommodating reply). I now have the service on auto-deduction from my family's checking account. Even that was incredibly easy. This company is a gem and makes me SO HAPPY. I know this probably does not sound sincere because it so over the top, but every word is true. Thank you Beatriz!
Description of Work: A Cleaning Service has cleaned my 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom townhouse from TOP to BOTTOM since June 2012. I do not exaggerate when I say that they never miss a nook or cranny. They do not just dust and vacuum (though I have enough stuff that would keep most people plenty occupied). They vacuum the furniture. They dusted books on bookshelves. They get dirt off the sink that I thought was there to stay. They vacuum my basement and do some organizing as they go along. I can cite many examples of how A Cleaning Service simply goes above and beyond the call of duty. They clean the "gunk" off the electric toothbrush holders. The folded clothes in the bottom of my closet! This is meticulous work - and even my husband who spent several years cleaning floors with toothbrushes in the marines, says he is impressed.:) Of special importance to me, they are very attentive to and respectful of my two cats. I did a LOT of calling and shopping around and went with this service because it was such a great deal. I cant believe the quality!!! I have recommended this company to 2 friends who have since signed up for cleanings here as well. Most of us thought ths was a luxury we could not afford.

*Update: We have been hiring A Cleaning service for ~2 years now on a regular basis and remain happy with the company. The crew arrives on time every 2 weeks and does a thorough job cleaning our home. Highly recommend. We were very happy with this company. The team showed up right on time and were very friendly and professional. We left for the day and they agreed to lock up behind them. We came home later to a very clean house, above and beyond what was expected. Prior to the service, I had contacted several services and besides offering competitive prices, Beatriz was the most responsive of all of the people to whom I spoke. She is fast to reply to email. Even when the company was without power because of the derecho Beatriz made sure to call to update us on our service. This is a wonderful company.

I called A Cleaning Service and spoke with the owner, Beatriz. She was very professional and answered all my questions and concerns. We agreed on price and she scheduled the crew. The employees arrived on time and were very nice and friendly. I explained to them a few extra things that I needed done, like the microwave and the mold and they smiled and said it was not a problem. I then left them to work while I went on errands. What a surprise when I got home! The place was spotless and smelled so clean. It is hard to find a good company with happy employees and fair pricing, but I have found it and will continue to use A Cleaning Service. Thank You, Beatriz.
Description of Work: The employees thoroughly cleaned my house from top to bottom. They performed high and low dusting, deep cleaned and sanitized all bathrooms; including the removal of some black mold, completely vacuumed all carpet and wood floors, damp mopped the wood floors, sanitized the kitchen sink and counter tops leaving them spotless and sparkling, cleaned the unsightly microwave making it look like new, wiped down all baseboards and vacuumed all blinds and upholstered furniture.

I hired this company in Nov 2011 based on previous reports from others. The estimate was completed promptly and I was happy with the estimate. Beatrice was very responsive. However, similiar to comments made by a post in Jan 2012, I was very surprised when only 1 woman showed up for the initial deep clean! And she was in my house for HOURS and HOURS. When she finally left around dinner time, I realized that she had not even completely cleaned the bottom floor. I scheduled a second appointment thinking that the second time would be better. Unfortunately, the second appointment was the day before Thanksgiving. Two women showed up (the same one who did the initial clean, plus the one who had completed the estimate). The two women were in the house for approximately 1/2 hour tops! When they told me they were ready to leave, I questioned them as to if they had done the basement as well. They said yes and stated that they were very busy that day. After they left, I looked around the house and realized that they had not completed the job at all. I called them right away, informing them that they needed to complete my job. One stated that she would call Beatrice. The same poor woman who came to do the initial cleaning by herself came the day after Thanksgiving and spent another 1/2 hour, complaining how tired she was. I thought the third time might be a charm and I scheduled another appointment. I guess I really wanted to give the company a chance. This time I could not be at home and the cleaning woman came as scheduled. The kitchen trash was not emptied and the counters did not appear to be wiped off at all. It was pretty evident that the house had not been thoroughly or completely cleaned. I immediately called Beatrice who returned my phone call promptly even though it was close to 9 pm. Beatrice offered to send another crew, however, at that point my confidence in this company was lost. I feel Beatrice was responsive, however, the cleaners were not impressive at all.

Given how great the reviews have been, I really hesitated (months) to write this review. But feel like I need to be fair to the process...They were really nice--came and gave me a very reasonable estimate (and I do have a very small house). I was told that there would be two people for the first cleaning and then one after that for every other week. Although the team was really nice and prompt, I was not happy with the job that they did. The second 'helper' spent a very long time cleaning the bathroom--but appeared to scrub the hardware for a long time, but then completely missed the huge cobwebs in the corner. He also cleaned the kitchen and same thing appeared to happen--scrubbed the microwave (which was in bad shape), but then completely missed wiping down on countertop. Also, the 'mopping' of the kitchen floor didn't appear to happen. When i asked about that, they said it had been mopped, but didn't appear clean to me, nor was it at all wet. Because of how great the reviews were, I wanted them to come back again because I assumed this might be just due to this additional help, vice the other main person. However, the second time, both of them were back again. And this time I did mention that there were issues with the first cleaning--the cobwebs (which I then showed her) and then the kitchen and floors. She was apologetic and professional. But after the second cleaning, I still was just underwhelmed with the job that they did--in particular the floors, hardwoods in the dining room and the tile in the kitchen, still had loose dirt/dust that had been missed. I did call to cancel after that and the owner was really nice and asked if she could send another team to keep my business. At that point I really wasn't wanting to continue with any cleaning service, so I declined to change teams. Maybe my experience was a fluke based on the other reviews.

Response from A Cleaning Service
Thank you for your feedback. I always welcome the opportunity to address any service concerns of my clients. The crews appreciate that as well. Unfortunately, I was not given the opportunity to address these concerns. You did not mention these concerns when we spoke by phone either; you simply stated that you no longer wanted a cleaning service. I understand and appreciate you wanting to be fair to the Angie's List process but it would be helpful if you were fair to the actual service process as well. You state that you told the crew about your concerns and you have posted your concerns on Angie's List but at no time did you ever tell me, the person who could have actually addressed your concerns. I could have changed the crew if needed. Best wishes
