Carpet cleaning and Preparation of Home Before Sale

I hired Maid of All Work to clean my 800 square foot condo for sale and wash the carpets. I read reviews online and felt positive about the work they would do. Unfortunately the reviews didn't match the service I received. My spouse and I are incredibly clean and clutter free people, we wanted the jobs dealt with that we've ignored a little - wall washing, blind cleaning, appliance cleaning, base board cleaning, dusting of shelves etc. We only required walls to be washed in 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as we had just painted the condo. Unfortunately many areas were missed (more were uncovered as I looked for them after the initial email complaint) and my oven bulb was broken (with glass left on the counter and the bottom of the bulb still left in the stove). My blinds don't look like they were ever touched (and that's the item I really wanted completed) At the time of complaint I didn't know the total hours of time spent and was told there would be a discount on my invoice. It was to my surprise that when I did receive the invoice only 1 hour was subtracted from 5 hours charged. How a 800 minimalist square foot condo take 5 hours to clean... I don't even know. My spouse and I (who are not professional cleaners) can strip the condo in 2 hours. If I knew the poor work was going to cost $200, I would have taken 4 hours off work to complete it properly myself.

While not a large deal, as I think the carpet cleaner did a good job. I asked to be called 30 minutes prior to the cleaning being done so I could meet Mike at the condo to get the key. Mike called me 30 minutes prior to completion, and I left work quickly (in Northern Toronto) to meet him. But when I showed up, he wasn't there and the key was placed under the flower box. I was not late (there was no traffic). It would have been appreciated if he had waited for me. As someone who has had a house broken into due to a key left under a mat, it's important for me to not have keys left around.

*EDITED TO RESPOND TO MAID OF ALL WORK*

I am disgusted to read your reply filled with incorrect information. The services HAVE been paid for via Interac transfer, in which I received a confirmation email from Debbie on August 16.

The condo had very been regularly cleaned, and it's an insult to hear otherwise. Baseboards & walls washed quarterly, lights dusted monthly, carpets steamed semi annually - we are a two professional with no kids that can keep up a very clean home.

Mike did NOT call upon arrival, he called "30 minutes" prior to being completed, I was home in less time than that. I will produce cellphone records if that is required. I furthermore NEVER left the key under the flower box - I dropped the key off at: 2258 Belmount Crt in Burlington and gave it to the home owner as instructed.

Thank you for responding and giving me further reason to never recommend your services to friends / family / coworkers.

Company Response

Dear Sara,
We apologize for taking so long to respond to this review. We were at a loss, as you have not yet paid for the services, which we believe is against Homestars’ posting guidelines.
Sometimes when busy lives catch up with us, even the smallest of homes require significant time to restore the cleanliness back to a person’s standards. Getting a house ready for sale, when the home has not been regularly cleaned, can take double the time to clean, which was discussed with you on the phone. When you called to book the clean, we agreed on the number of hours based on the tasks you had listed. Some of the tasks that you have pointed out, for example, the insides of closets, you did not ask us to do. It is our policy to not open cupboards and closets unless specifically asked to, as maintaining our customers’ privacy is paramount.
Regarding the key left under the flower box, Mike called upon arrival but you did not return to the condo. He replaced the key where you had left it, believing you were comfortable leaving it there, and that you did not want to pay for his time waiting.
We appreciate that it’s a stressful time when you are busy with work demands while trying to sell your house, and we wish you all the best with the sale.

House cleaning in Oakville

We've used the services from Maid Of All Work over the years, and have come to expect nothing but the best quality, consistency and customer service from them. After the team has spent a few hours in my home, my house is nice and clean, which leaves me with more time to spend with my family. My kitchen countertops shine, my bathrooms look great, and I don't need to worry about taking the time to dust all my shelves and nicknacks. I had a bad experience with using a franchise in the past, but Maid Of All Work is a locally owned business and I can tell that Caroline and her staff team really care about their customers. I'm very satisfied with the work they do, and would recommend them to anyone.

Thorough House Cleaning

I am a single man living with two fluffy cats that shed a lot of fur.
I have a very busy work schedule which leaves me very little time to clean my house (not that I am good at it anyways)
I went ahead and hired Maid of all Work to do a thorough clean of my home from top to bottom. When I arrived home that evening I was first greeted by a wonderfully clean smelling home. My floors were as shiny as when they were first installed, I have never seen them so clean since, I was literally floored. The baseboards looked amazing you can really tell that they have used a lot of effort to get them looking this white and dirt free.
As I have said I have two cats who tend to shed a lot. so eliminating the cat fur was essential for me. They even went ahead and vacuumed my furniture and underneath the cushions. I noticed this because the change that had fallen between the cushions was sitting on the coffee table.
I have used another company in the past and I found that they only surfaced cleaned, it wasn't a deep thorough clean like Maid of all Work did for me.
I highly recommend Maid of all Work to anyone that may require cleaning services for their home. I have already hired them on to clean my home on a monthly basis.

Happy Customer,
Cameron

Post Renovation Cleaning

Was so happy with this company, they did a wonderful job cleaning our house after doing a main floor renovation. Debbie was so lovely to deal with, Mike gave a reasonable quote with payment options and did a super job on the windows. I would not hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone.

House Cleaning

I have recently taken on more responsibility at work and as a result don't have as much time to spend cleaning my home. Now I am a very neat person as it is, so was looking for a cleaning company to come into my home and do just that, clean (not wipe things down but really clean). I emailed a few company's in the area, and decided to go with Maid of All Work because the initial communciation with them was clear and timely. They also cover the Burlington, Oakville and Milton area, so I had assumed that with high standards of living in these cities that this company would be used to having high standards of clean. The company told me it would take 3 hours to clean my home, which is what they did 3 hours and the 2 cleaning ladies said that it was plenty of time. I took pictures of what my house looked like after the clean and would not even consider the work done on my home to even "meet any standards of clean." Under my dining room table wasn't dusted, bathroom shower not even touched, top of fridge not touched, corners and edges of floors not swept, bathroom mirror not cleaned just to name a few. So I took pictures of my home and immediately sent them to Caroline the owner expressing my disatisfaction with the service. Caroline said that they would give me a free hour the next time I pay for at least another hour or 2. I would not pay another penny to that company after having already spent $140.00 to have a cleaning company clean a less than 1500sq ft home with 2 empty rooms in it and getting a less than satisfactory job done. After going back and forth with Carol a few times to rectify the situation, she insisted that I should pay to use their service again. I was finally offered a refund for 1 hours worth of work $45.00 which I accepted. Would not give another dime to a company to redo what should have been done properly the first time. Would not use or recommend this company again.

Dear J:
We are surprised by your review, particularly after you had assured us that our customer service team had satisfied you. At Maid of All Work we strive for the utmost quality service and workmanship.
We have reviewed the correspondence we had with you and note that you accepted and seem pleased with our solution to send you a refund.
We had recommended more time to accomplish your housecleaning when you initially inquired about our services. We honoured your wishes and scheduled the reduced hours by your request. Although we had felt we needed more time, we mailed a monetary reimbursement of 35% of your total bill. I would welcome the opportunity to have a conversation with you. We would like to know what changed and left you unhappy.
We see from other reviews you wrote that day that there were other companies you were displeased with. All service industries benefit from feedback, whether it is positive or not. Once again, we would welcome clarification, because in order to improve we need to better understand where we fell short.
