Maria and Lichi did a fantastic job. I just moved into a home that was supposedly deep cleaned prior to move in, but I was skeptical. So I sought my own solution and they did not disappoint. On time, friendly and hard working, they made this old actually finally feel like a new home to me. It was probably not the easiest of jobs because I've been finding dead bugs every where and just that morning a dead thousand foot that I couldn't bring myself to get close enough to pick up (adulting sucks), and they took care of it for me so therefore they are my heroes. Take note that they only accept check or cash for gratuity! read more

I have been using Potomac maids for at least five years. Crew always arrives on time. They always very polite and knows what they doing. I always recommend Potomac maids to my friends, family and my clients. read more

See all

I just returned from a trip and during my absence new floors were installed in my apartment. Upon my return everything I touched was covered with dust. I searched yelp for a respected cleaning service and settled on Potomac Maids. They came the next day and throughly deep cleaned the entire Apartment. The apartment is now spotless and my wife and I are delighted at the quality of work, the friendliness of the ladies, and we were amazed at how organized they were as they addressed what was, for me, a Herculean task. Thank you Potomac Maids. read more

We have used Potomac Maids for house cleaning services in Alexandria for nearly 10 years--during that time we have been very pleased and have gotten to know several of the cleaning teams, but have most recently had Yenifer and Karla cleaning our home (for at least the last five years!)--they are kind, timely, professional and clean our home throughly and with care. They are also hard working and trustworthy women who we enjoy seeing every couple weeks. It has made such a difference for us to have Potomac Maids provide cleaning services--highly recommend! read more

Amazing service! Had a deep cleaning of whole house done today. The two workers were very detailed and thorough. Price was also unbeatable for a deep clean including kitchen appliances and bathrooms! Will definitely continue to use them! read more

My husband and I recently moved here from Japan and were worried we wouldn't find the same value or quality of cleaning service that we had while living overseas. But we were wrong! Potomac Maids is a fantastic company and very responsive to scheduling and answering questions. Patti and Joanna show up on time and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny of the house. I wouldn't hire anyone else in the area -- trustworthy, response, great quality of work and worth every penny! read more

I had a great experience with Potomac Maids. It was easy from start to finish. I really appreciate the way you can schedule a cleaning online, and get an estimate of what it will cost, how many people will come, and how long it will take. It made it so easy to put it on my schedule. I really appreciate that their maids have only 2-3 houses assigned to them per day; you can tell it makes them able to focus on all of the details of each cleaning. My house hadn't been cleaned in quite some time, so the crew stayed longer than the estimate, and I was billed a flat rate for their additional time--which I knew and expected ahead of time. Their cleaning was incredibly thorough and I feel that what I paid is very fair for the work that was done. I highly recommend their services! read more

We've been customers for close to a decade, and can't praise enough how much we love Potomac Maids! Their cleaning staff, especially Patty, Mira, and Orfa, are amazingly hard-working and take care of all your cleaning needs. Our home is always spotless and super clean after each appointment, never having to worry about my bad back issues if I had to clean the house myself. And general manager Vaidas is a true professional and an exceptional leader. We love and appreciate how communicative, reliable and reasonable he is in running his business and his team. Plus we particularly appreciate how they compensate their employees more than most. Don't hesitate to use them! You will not be disappointed. They are simple amazing. read more

Super happy with Potomac Maids service. This time we opted for deep cleaning and our house looks brand new! Lol. They cleaned every kitchen cabinet, the oven looks like never been used before and the biggest surprise that I can spot any of my dog's hair!!! And we have a corgi who sheds like crazy! I will recommend them to all of my friends- great job and thank you!!! read more

Patty and Joanna did such an amazing and detailed job on a routine cleaning service. They were punctual, detailed, and friendly. I will definitely be using Potomac Maids again going forward read more

If I could give this company more than 5 stars, I would! Potomac Maids are reliable, timely, kind and go above and beyond with making our home spotless. My husband and I always feel relieved after our monthly deep clean by Potomac Maids. I am always amazed by how our bathrooms and kitchen appliances look brand new after their services! Highly recommend. Not only because they are excellent at their jobs, but are kind and trustworthy when doing it! Thank you!!!!!! read more

We have used Potomac Maids for several years and are so, so happy with the service provided. We used a different cleaning service before that and had a problem with breakage (which they told us about and I understand; it happens) and theft of a prescription ointment inside a drawer (it happened twice and could have been no one else; the other service apologized and that was it). Our wonderful crew cleans even beyond our expectations! Delightful women--we've met them a few times coming or going--and scheduling and payment are supereasy. Could not be happier with the quality of the service and the company in general. read more

Patti (and her team..which sometimes varies) is very responsive/open to specific requests and sensitive to various household issues and scheduling (such as nap times for kids and adults working from home). I appreciate that consideration and the attention to detail. read more

I contacted them to give my home a thurough cleaning and determine whether they were detailed and caring enough to clean on a reoccuring basis. They were on time, detailed, and exceeded my expectations. Thank you!! read more

I had been looking into getting my apartment professionally cleaned for a long time, but the terrifying reviews of places offering Groupons had scared me off. I finally decided to give Potomac Maids a try, because their full-price service seemed pretty reasonable, they had online scheduling, and their Yelp reviews were great. I couldn't be happier. I set up cleaning for a Saturday a few weeks out, and someone contacted me within 24 hours to confirm the time. The price to send two people to clean a 2 bed/2 bath apartment for a one-time cleaning of up to three hours was $169. I thought the "up to 3 hours" was a scam and that they would take less time than that, because my place wasn't too dirty to begin with, but they worked the ENTIRE time and found things to clean that I didn't even realize could be cleaned. They brought all their own supplies, which is a huge plus for me, since I don't think I even own all the supplies needed for a thorough deep clean. They were really good, so much that I'm considering scheduling a regular cleaning. I was really kind of blown away by their honesty and transparency as well. The final price was exactly what they had listed online for the exact amount of time. At the end, as I was about to give them their tip, one of the guys apologized profusely because he thought he had accidentally broken a piece of artwork while cleaning near it. He showed it to me and again said he was so, so sorry. I assured him that this carving was already broken before he came, and that it definitely was not his fault, but I so appreciated that he felt the need to bring it to my attention. That kind of honesty was the icing on the cake for me, and I'll definitely use Potomac Maids again. read more

WOW - I didn't know my home was so dirty until Potomac Cleaners passed through here! They cleaned all the places that I've either been too lazy to clean or never even thought to clean in the 5 years since we've moved in. Some examples of the fantastic job they did: -Moving (lighter) furniture to vacuum and clean the corners behind the furniture -Cleaning the window blinds -Cleaning the light fixtures and fans -Cleaning the white molding/trim where the wall meets the floor -Cleaning inside the oven and my stovetop (not exaggerating when I say it looks brand new now) -Vacuuming the couch cushions -Using dusters with extensions to reach those cobwebs stuck in the ceiling corners Now I am a very neat person, as in I like everything to be in its place. But it wasn't until Flora and Iris passed through here that I realized this is very different from being a clean person. It took 7 hours for these 2 hardworking women to clean our 2150 square foot townhome (4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4.5 levels). Imagine how clean your house would be if you spent 14 hours cleaning it when it was already tidy. Yea - that's how it looks right now! I feel like my home is a hotel because it's just that clean. I initially hired Potomac Cleaners for a one-time cleaning, but I'm starting to think I might need to do this again. read more

Just wanted to provide a quick update that four years later I'm still using Potomac Maids and I am still impressed with their work. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic I was nervous about whether I should continue the services. I realize now that I shouldn't have been nervous because they are diligent about wearing masks and gloves, and I actually feel safer because I know they are doing a deep clean of all of the surfaces in our home. If you're on the fence, definitely give them a try and don't feel like you have to wait until after the pandemic is over. read more

I would give this service six stars if I could. And that is saying a lot since I'm a tough critic. I really can't say enough about both the customer service and the cleaning service. I had been using Maxi Maids for almost two years and finally stopped several months ago as the service deteriorated more and more. The rates at Potomac Maids are very competitive, but honestly - for the service Potomac Maids would be a bargain even at twice the price!. read more

Very pleased with the cleaning done today by Merna and Patty. Potomac Maids came highly recommended by a friend, and they did not disappoint. I will definitely be using them going forward. read more

Really pleased with the service provided by Deymi (Daymi? Apologies about the spelling) and Karla... they did a beautiful job but were also careful with my belongings, took care to ask about delicate items, put everything back the way I wanted, and were thorough about the specific things I asked for (like ceiling fans and vent covers)... They were also pleasant, quiet, and professional... I worked from home while they were here and was totally undisturbed... I love that you can reserve online and also pay online with this company... I felt the price was fair for this area... It is a quick response time on phone and email communication... and the two ladies showed up during the time window provided. read more

Deymi and Miriam were wonderful. My house was a total mess after the holidays (not to mention my floors have taken a beating from all the snow/salt over the past few weeks) and they made it look incredible. They were both extremely friendly and efficient in their work. My house looks like it did when we first moved in - I will definitely be using this service again, and again! read more

This was my first time ever receiving house cleaning services and I'm VERY HAPPY I picked Potomac Maids! My decision was from other Yelper's leaving reviews, so THANK YOU! The scheduling process was very simple, the response time was speedy, and most importantly, my apartment smells great and is clean! Fior, Miriam, and Marisol arrived within the designated time and were very professional! I highly recommend this company based off my experience today! read more

I've been using Potomac Maids for years and I've always been very impressed with their service. Their employees have always been very friendly, on-time and thorough. Thanks Jill, Sandy, Patty & Mirna! read more

Marisol and Karla came today to clean. Since I have not contacted Viadas of Potomac Maids in a while, was once again wowed by their thoroughness. My place looks so neat and clean. Marisol and Karla are professional, thorough, capable and very pleasant to be with. I highly recommend them and other cleaning teams that Viadas has sent in the past. I communicate with Viadas over email and he makes the scheduling process a breeze, reliably accommodating special requests. I am posting a rave review and mean every word of it and underscore what other delighted users have said. read more

Used this service for the first time earlier this week. Was impressed with the thoroughness. Will be doing monthly now.

My family recently purchased a home that used to be a rental property. After getting some renovations done, we wanted a good thorough cleaning before moving in. I was able to schedule an appointment with Potomac Maids quickly and they showed up on time in the afternoon. They spent 7 hours cleaning our 1400 sq/ft home! They dusted and cleaned all our windows and blinds, which looked like they hadn't been touched in years. They also wiped all the ceiling fans and our air vents, which had noticeable dust. The guest bathroom tub was in particular need of a good cleaning. After they were done, it looked like it was brand new! The kitchen was another place in need of heavy work. The fridge had a nasty odor left from the previous residents. They took out and cleaned all the shelves as well as the inside of the fridge. When they were done, there it was sparkling clean and smelled fresh! Potomac Maids did such a wonderful job and exceeded all my expectations! My wife was so happy having a clean place to move in to, that we'll definitely look to use them again in the future! read more

I was very pleased with their service. Our house was so messy and dirrty. They did a fantastic job. Everything was perfectly cleaned, neat and tide. The pricing is very dicent compare to other companies that I used before. I will definetely look up to work with them in future. read more

It was my first to home cleaning so I followed yelp to find Potomac maids. The online reservation and estimate is very easy and convenient. I scheduled a time on the inauguration day and received confirmation email the day before the service. Two ladies showed up within the two hours window and began working promptly. I think they took a little more than three hours to clean my semi-detached house, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. No extra charges was asked, which was nice. The two ladies did a good job in cleaning the house, especially the floor, the kitchen, and the bathrooms. Everything looks shiny and relatively new. In particular they cleaned out the stinky oily oven and range hood. They even made my beds and put every cookeries in order. Yet I found they missed (or intentionally skipped) some spots: lightshades in the bathroom, some windows frames, some blinds, and the ceiling fans, they didn't touch them at all. The oil fumes on top of the refrigerator was not cleaned either. To me it is a mixed experience when you see they cleaned the kitchen and bathroom so well then you can't help noticing some apparent spots are still dusty. read more

I based my hiring of Potomac Maids on Yelp reviews, and I was stunned by the contrast between what I experienced and the below reviews. Apparently I just got a rogue cleaner, I don't know, but I contacted the owner following a less than adequate job and they remedied fix the problem. I hired Potomac Maids to clean my 2BR 1 BA house. After being contacted and agreeing to a rate of $169 I accepted because they indicated the cleaner would be there all day, and set up a date. The cleaner (one) spent less than 3 hours and neither completed cleaning the house nor conducted a deep cleaning on the areas covered. I'm not a cheapskate looking to exploit people and don't mind paying a premium for great service, HOWEVER, $169 is very high to pay for the service of ONE person for less than THREE hours of work. I have since contacted them and the owner of the business was horrified at the level of service provided and refunded the money. So I am amending this review to reflect their addressing of this issue. read more

Deymi & Karla do an amazing job! I have a 3 month old baby who goes undisturbed all through the cleaning time. They are very pleasant and kind. The cleaning is very detailed and everything is put back the exactly where it was. I've tried many cleaning services but completely satisfied by Demi! read more

The whole experience was terrific! There is nothing like coming home from work and seeing your house look and smell so great. Nadia and Maria did such a terrific job and I can't thank them enough for all their hard work, and also to to management that helped us in the last minute request! I love Potomac Maids!! read more

I used Potomac Maids for the first time yesterday to clean my apartment in Arlington. I want to give a big shout out for Deymi and Marisela. They did an outstanding job and were knowledgeable about what products to use on everything from stainless steel appliances to cleaning windows. I would definitely have them back again! read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Excellent cleaning service! I was reluctant to hire someone to clean our condo thinking the job would not be up to my standard. I was wrong! The cleaning was spectacular. Everything was bright and shining not a trace of dirt or dust! Jorge and Esther did a superb job! They really take pride in what they do and do it well. I would use this company again. Vaidas was very responsive and professional answering all my questions and setting up the appointment. read more

Planned to surprise my wife with a one-time cleaning while she was out of town for a few weeks. Hadn't planned to tell her (figured it wouldn't be the worst thing if she believed I was just super tidy while she was gone.) Well that plan got completely blown up. By the time the 2 person crew finished with our home, the place was so sparkling clean, there is no way I could have passed this off as my own work! Prompt response times. Fair prices. EXCELLENT work. Will definitely use again on a more regular basis! read more

I'm impressed with this company. My roommate was moving out, and I needed my place cleaned ASAP for the new roommate. I've never called a cleaning service before, since I think I'm pretty good at cleaning myself. Anyways, I called, they were very prompt in giving me a quote, and they came when it was convenient for me. I was highly impressed. My place looked freakin' brand new. These folks are great, hard-working people. I highly recommend this place.... read more

I'm struggling between 3 and 4 stars on this one. The booking process was easy to do online, and then I got an email confirmation. I was having my new apartment cleaned because the previous tenant did not do a very good job. I asked for them to call my cell so I would be available to let them in which I was told would not be a problem. I booked a few weeks in advance for an arrival time between 1-3. The day arrives, and it's 3pm and no phone call, so I called them, and a gentleman told me he would call me back. Wait about 15-20 minutes and he calls back and says they would be there in 45 minutes. It actually took at least another hour. No explanation or apology was really offered, and I still paid full price. This whole thing ended up taking a big chunk out of my day which was very frustrating. I will say the two ladies who came did a great job, so this review is not really a reflection on the actual cleaning. I was ready to hire them on a regular basis, but for the price I shouldn't be waiting around for people to show up well past the appointed time, without someone reaching out to let me know there is a delay. UPDATE: Someone reached out to me and apologized and said they will give me a refund, which I do appreciate so I will perhaps not write this business off if I need a cleaning service in the future. read more

Deymi & Karla are amazing! I was referred to Potomac Maids via a neighbor and have been very pleased. What I love most: 1. They arrive on time and always greet me with a smile :) 2. They work from the top down, and if time allows, fold any clean laundry, make our bed the "fancy" way, and clean our windows! 3. Our bathrooms sparkle (the hard to clean shower door is spotless). 4. We have a hardwood flooring throughout - it is always clean as a whistle when they leave. Not a hair in sight (and I have a TON of hair). 5. The oven, refrigerator, and microwave are spotless. I have a double oven. They get huge bonus points for this. 6. Our stainless steel appliances are immaculate. So good that I have to reach out to Potomac Maids and ASK what they use to make it shine. It's a secret only clients get :) Kidding. Comet + Joy dish soap. And some serious arm muscle with special cloths. 7. The vacuum lines are pristine. Pillows plumped. And the smell- divine! 8. They are the sweetest woman! I smile at my toddler and ask how I am. I trust them 100% in my home. How can you put a price on this? 100% recommend! read more

We were looking for a cleaning service to clean our newly purchased condo before we move in. Like some others, I first had hoped to score a good deal via one of the many daily deal sites. But they either didn't offer the deal towards a move in/move out service or the Yelp reviews weren't enticing. So just going by Yelp reviews, I selected Potomac Maids. A few emails back and forth to give some specific concerns or ask questions and all was set. We stopped by the condo that evening and we were so impressed! A little info - the condo is a 2-story corner unit with floor to ceiling windows wrapping around 2 entire sides on each floor. Yes, they cleaned all the windows, inside and out! I mean, sure, you might figure windows are included - but we have so many I guess I just didn't expect anyone to tackle them like that. Of course, the remainder of the place was spotless and sparkling - inside oven, top of stove, in side fridge/freezer and all cabinets, bathrooms, all floors. Just lovely! We're very happy with the service and won't hesitate to call (maybe for the move out of our current rental) or recommend Potomac Maids. read more

Deymi and her team were incredible. My wife and I were shocked at how thorough they were. Everything sparkles and shines. We keep finding things that we didn't know could get as clean as they got them. We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Potomac Maids provided an excellent one time cleaning service! Of course, I decided on this company based on the Yelp reviews. I moved into my apartment a few months ago, taking over another tenant's lease, and had been wanting to get a deep clean of my bathroom and bedroom for a while now. I'm a tidy person and maintenance cleans are easy to do myself, but some things needed special attention (i.e. the tub in the bathroom and baseboards of my bedroom). Potomac Maids made both rooms look spotless and like new. The smell was fresh - not chemical infused! Coordinating the cleaning was simple with their online scheduling functionality. One of the managers, Vaidas, contacted me soon after to confirm and provide a price quote after I filled out the reservation and submitted it online. I had one of my roommates who is student meet the cleaners when they arrived (since leaving work was not an option for me) and it all went smoothly. Extremely happy with Potomac Maids' service, professionalism, and attention to detail. Highly recommend them! read more
