| - I booked Trendy Maids for a move-in deep clean service for my home in the beginning of February. The booking process was easy enough through the Trendy Maids website. The maids were scheduled to come to my home at 7:30am and they showed up on time. Since this was a move-in cleaning, I wasn't actually present in the home when they arrived. I had a painter in the home when they arrived who had already been in my home for the past 10 days whom I trusted to let the maids in.
The week prior to booking, I had new carpeting installed on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the home (including the stairs to both the 2nd and 3rd floors) which cost me over $10,000. When I arrived at the home at 7:40, I immediately noticed orange staining on my carpet stairs. I asked the painter what may have caused it, and he shrugged his shoulders. I went upstairs to introduce myself to the maids who had begun the cleaning service in the third floor bathroom. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary right away as I was speaking directly with one of the two maids to show her what I was hoping they could focus on with the cleaning service.
After my introduction, I went back down to the first staircase and again noticed orange staining on my brand new carpet. It dawned on me that if it hadn't come from my painter, it could have only come from one other place - the maids. I went back up to the third floor and noticed that one of the maids had tracked a reddish-orange mud in on her shoes which was now all over my bathroom floor. This meant that she walked all the up my first set of carpeted stairs, through a long carpeted hallway, up a second set of carpeted stairs, and through a carpeted room to get to the bathroom she was currently cleaning. Despite basically using my entire home as her welcome mat, her shoes STILL had left multiple orange tracks all over my bathroom floor. I encourage you to note the pictures I've attached which show this bathroom floor staining.
I was furious. I just had new carpet installed and she tracked orange staining mud through my entire home. I asked the two maids to leave as if they couldn't be trusted to respect my home, I didn't want them there. She said "It's ok, I clean" in broken English and began following me around the home. I asked her again to leave and she just followed me around. It became obvious that she didn't understand English, so I pointed to the door and asked her to leave. She went upstairs (which I assumed was to grab her supplies) and instead returned with the other maid so that they could both proceed to follow me around.
I finally called the Trendy Maids office and asked them to get their maids out of my home. I explained what had happened, and the office receptionist simply said "I'll try" (to my request to get them out of my home). I waited ten minutes (with the two maids following me around the whole time) and called the front office back. I advised that if they weren't out in the next ten minutes, I'd call the cops to have them removed. The receptionist then conveniently called the head maid and got them out.
I asked the receptionist to have a manager call me back because one wasn't available when I called. She said she'd have him call me as soon as he was available. Keep in mind this was around 8am. I heard nothing from them, so at 10am I called again and was told the manager wasn't available. The receptionist said she'd have him call me. I tried calling twice more around 1pm and 4pm and nobody answered. To date (more than a week and a half after this awful experience), a manager has not called me back.
Since I couldn't speak with anyone to request a refund of the prepaid cleaning service that I didn't obviously use, I ended up having to request a chargeback through my credit card to get the funds back. Luckily they sided with me in my case and immediately credited the funds. I still plan on filing a small claims court case against Trendy Maids for the carpet cleaning that I plan on having done once I'm moved in and settled in. For now, I've personally spot treated the areas where the mud was most visible in an effort to ward off permanent staining.
Obviously I don't recommend this company. I recommend quite the opposite - stay as far away from them as you can. Between the $10,000 carpet staining, broken English, weird shadowing of me, no manager contact, and ultimate charge-back, Trendy Maids was simply terrible.
