Warning: Do NOT Hire Tidy JS!…read more
We can not stress enough how horrible our experience was with Jan from Tidy JS. This is not just a cleaning company to avoid--it's one to run from as fast as you can, leaving skidmarks. Here's why:
1. Jan Does Not Care About Her Customers. I needed to move back into my home as I had people staying there, and they trashed it. I moved some of my furniture and things in and was going to clean myself but couldn't. It was overwhelming! When I then hired this woman and provided detailed instructions on what should stay, what should go, and what was off-limits. She completely ignored everything. Not only did she throw away items we specified to keep, but she also helped herself by going through all my things and taking items that were identified as off limits. She even took it upon herself to open an Amazon package delivered to us. Luckily, it wasn't of use to her, so she "kindly" left it behind. How considerate--not!
2. Total Disregard for my Privacy, the Truth, My Time, and Lacked Professionalism. Jan was hours late every single day, always full of excuses. She ended up leaving our house in complete disarray. Despite that, I paid her $600 for this disaster, plus $175 for a trash haul. Except, instead of hauling the trash like she told me she had, I found it all dumped in 2 highly embarrassing piles in our backyard! I am beyond angry!! Then she tried to charge us more, saying this was the second haul of trash because, according to her, they couldn't take it all in one trip. Except, according to video footage, they didn't take any trash on the first trip! Just a straight-up liar!
This woman also had the nerve to read my divorce decree!! When I confronted her about my missing items, she had the nerve to say, "I found a divorce decree that said all household items were left to your husband!" As if #1, that makes it ok to steal our things. #2 she obviously doesn't understand how to read decrees cause that was not the case. and #3, I divorced almost 8 years ago! What in the holy hell kind of justification is this?
She also had the nerve to claim we hadn't paid her enough, In fact, the minute she entered our house, she sent a message tacking on an extra $250 for "too much furniture and ciuldnt work around it." Originally, the price was supposed to be $530, which we reluctantly agreed to raise to $600. At this point, she now has racked up a huge bill with us that, unfortunately, will have very serious legal consequences for her.
3. Queen of Excuses. When I confronted her about the state of the house, Jan actually admitted it was a mess at first. Except, when she returned to clean one room, she stole more items and left. In fact, the only reason she agreed to come back was to steal our stuff. Then, instead of making things right, she continued making excuses. She knew we had to stay in a hotel because our home was still uninhabitable, and throught this whole fiasco, she took advantage of us and many valuable items were stolen, including our Oreck orbital cleaning system, which she used and loved and I guess decided it should be hers! It's just a coincidence that it's now gone according to her. Our 3D printer is also missing, and the list keeps growing by the hour as my fiance and I go through the house with a fine tooth comb for the police.
4. Security Breach and Property Damage. Conveniently, but more dumb than anything, Jan claimed the house was left unlocked overnight, and she "has no idea" what happened after she left. Except, how would she know it was left unlocked unless she and her gophers came back at night to check? Yes, she unknowingly incriminated herself! up.
5. Pressing Charges. We've filed a police report and are working with Law Enforcement on pressing charges to the fullest extent. In the end, threatened me with calling the police for harassment, which didn't surprise me--typical guilty behavior. We even gave her a chance to return the items to avoid charges, but because she unsurprisingly refused, we were forced to stick up for ourselves. Therefore, they will be held accountable. We are going through more footage for the police with all of our neighbors from every angle, but already, at this point, it's clear that things are not looking good for Jan and Tidy JS.
In summary: If you want to deal with lies, theft, destruction, disrespect, and endless excuses, then by all means, hire Jan and Tidy JS. They are the company for you! But if you value your livelyhood, time, property, and peace of mind, stay far away from this company. We hope this helps the public avoid being treated like this in the future. Ultimately, Jan should definitely consider a new profession.
