| - I just had a construction/remodel clean up done by Arizona CleanPros (note, I had some trouble finding the Yelp account, there are a few folks using similar names, make sure you have the right one).
Team #3, Cecilia, visited my house. I called the office and talked to Nancy (?) to schedule, and she was very straightforward, and suggested based on my square footage (I said 1700 sqft since there was some space I wouldn't have them clean) that a team of 3 would likely be on site for 3 to 4 hours. Having used some miscellaneous housekeepers in the past (not a company) I thought that seemed too high of an estimate.
Turns out Nancy was spot on, and it was definitely worth it. Cecilia arrived at 8:30 with a team of 3 (granted about 30 minutes after scheduled, but at least Nancy called at about 8:15 to let me know they were on their way). She asked for an introduction to the house, which I admittedly did a pretty bad job at (my wife would have done a better job). Nonetheless, they were amazingly thorough. Without introduction, they ferreted out pretty much everything, figuring out where all the trashcans were, the linens, etc. etc.
They spent a full 4 hours at my place, but the cleaning was incredibly thorough - there is lots of stuff in this house that has never been touched by a maid, and there was enough staining in the toilets and such that my meager attempts in the past (with a pumice stone) had me thinking they were destined for replacement. Turning the water on and off in a 1953 house with a little galvanized piping still in the walls does that. Everything this crew touched was sparkling - including the toilets, and including under the rim.
More impressive, I had quite a bit of "junk" in the house - we're still moving back in from a storage trailer following the remodel, and there are boxes stacked up and piles of clothes being unpacked. I had asked them to clean around this stuff and not worry about it, but it turns out they didn't want to leave the corners untouched. They neatly moved and restacked all of this stuff, and there was no spot on the floor, nor on any countertop that was uncleaned. Of course they hit all the windows and shutters and vacuumed the AC ducts, and all that good stuff. Meanwhile, they also happily picked up a couple of other things I asked them to do - clean out the refrigerator and fold some clothes - and I'm not sure the inside of my refrigerator has ever been this sparkly. Meanwhile, I didn't monitor these ladies or give them any input while they were cleaning - I was on conference calls the entire time. Given the scope of work, the independent maids I've used couldn't have touched this cleaning in 12 man hours. I'm impressed. I'm not sure what the other teams are like, but team #3 is a keeper for me.
