5 ladies showed up nearly 2 hours after the scheduled appointment, the evening before an important…read moreevent the following day. My appointment was at 3P, they showed up at 5P. I was immediately concerned as housework is HARD, HARD work. But I was assured the team was fine and not tired.
The house seemed clean when they left; however, I found two puddles of puddles of cat vomit were left - one behind a couch, the other under it.
There was (I'll just say "material") left under the rim of one toilet. I had asked and was told they would honor my recycling policy, yet I could not find my garbage nor my recycling (I'll get back to this point) and, all my plastic bags, that had been saved in their own basket, had been put in yet another plastic bag and chucked into the garbage.
So why was I looking for the recycling anyway? I noticed the dirty toilet early the next morning when I had bent over to flip my hair and thought 'sheesh, really?' and went to get my toilet brush that I kept in the plastic bucket that also held the recycling in the bathroom. Well, it was gone, tossed out... I keep the brush in the recycling bucket because I live in a small crowded house that demands compromises. The previous time they had come, I had mentioned to Maria's husband, Uriel, that these were not trash, please make sure they were not thrown away. Yes, I should have mentioned it again, but since I had not, I went to get it out of the recycling. It is not there.
The previous time they cleaned, I had also asked them to honor my recycling policy. When I saw they had chucked all my garbage and recycling into their vehicle to remove from the property, I was a bit concerned but did not say anything. This time, Maria denied having taken the recycling with her, but - WHERE IS IT? Why is it not in the recycling container that goes out to the curb?
So, the house is somewhat clean, my recycling is NOT where I asked for it to be put which is a problem because they threw away my toilet brush, which I now get to replace (yay), and have to spend precious time and more money to do that (yay). I am so relieved you could take stress off my plate. And they apparently remove garbage/recycling from your property. If I did not shred, I would be even more stressed about it...
So for $24 per hour, they cleaned a kitchen (easiest task in the house), made up a bed (not put sheets on, just spread up the sheets, comforter, pillows), mopped a very dirty floor, dusted a fan, vacuumed (and managed to leave stuff behind, see pic), and cleaned two very small bathrooms. 5 man hours... Two rooms of the house were too cluttered to get to w/ laundry, office stuff... I have one word for this outfit - "Next".
