There comes a time in a person's life where they give up and start throwing money at their problems. After a second baby, a return to work, and pneumonia, I had given up cleaning. My friend gave me her Revolutions Cleanings groupon and I gave them a call. I think the only downside of the experience was scheduling. They have 2 phone numbers and one doesn't have a voicemail box. The other one says "due to high call volume, please visit our website" (which makes no sense as the website has no place to contact them except through the phone). I got a call 2 days after my first voicemail and they scheduled something for the following week. The next day they called to reschedule for one day later. They texted me to confirm my address - smart because I didn't feel that we were understanding each other that well over the phone. Then, when they were supposed to come, no one came. They were an hour and fifteen minutes late. I called, couldn't get ahold of anyone, and then got a call back explaining that the cleaners were running late. Fine, but if you knew that you should've called me. If I had time to sit around at home waiting for someone to come over I'd be cleaning my own damn house. I have 2 kids and a hairy dog. My house hadn't been cleaned in a month. It was filthy. I expected with a 3 hour groupon they'd do the 2 bathrooms and I would feel like a new person. Maybe they'd sweep the kitchen. Boy was I wrong. Two people came and worked for 2 hours (which is really like FOUR hours on a 3hr groupon, so AWESOME) and they did 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, and tidied up in 3 bedrooms. We're talking top to bottom in the bathrooms - windows, mirrors, toilets, sinks, tub grout, EXHAUST FANS ARE YOU KIDDING I LOVE YOU. The kitchen was sparkly and clean in a way I'd never seen it. They cleaned the stainless steel everywhere. I think I should probably do that, it really does look nice. They cleaned the toaster and the microwave. I went to get dishwasher detergent and discovered they'd cleaned out the nasty cupboard under the sink. They cleaned the plastic drippy thing you put your hand washed dishes on. In the bedrooms, they dusted every surface including the ceiling fans. They made all of our beds. I'm sure there is even more I have yet to discover, but I was impressed they did the two bathrooms so well - everything else is icing on the cake. I'd give them 5 stars but this is just the first time. I want to see how it goes next month when I invite them back, especially because I don't know how much it would cost to repeat what they did today. For the cost of the groupon this was an amazing value. Oh - per the other reviewers, I am not sure if they brought their own stuff. I have a bathroom closet stocked with cleaning supplies and there was some sort of bleach spray bottle cleaner on the bathroom counter that may or may not have been mine (seriously, I am a lazy cleaner). They did use a LOT of my paper towels. Their website says they have non-bleach alternatives, but I didn't look at their website until after I'd scheduled their services and they clearly used bleach. It reeks of bleach in the house, but small price to pay for the stunning beauty of 90% of my living space. read more

Here is my thing on professional cleaners: I am ok paying $35+ an hour because they get more done in an hour that I can get done in 4 hours. I consider them to be ninjas. I bought a Groupon for 3 man hours of house cleaning, they were at my house for 3 hours, but just didn't get done as much as I expected. They didn't touch the kitchen, the bathroom was semi cleaned, 2 bedrooms were completely missed, the floors weren't mopped (just swept), etc. There were 2 people that were at my house for 1.5 hours so I don't feel swindled, but they got done as much as I would have gotten done in 3 hours (they weren't ninjas). Personally, I think the company was overwhelm with Groupon and couldn't handle the volume. Also, I don't know what the deal with Yelp is because last week there was a bunch of bad reviews, I tried them regardless because it was cheap from Groupon and worth a try. read more

They did a good job cleaning, However they were not clear over the phone quoting me and it wound up being substantially more expensive than what I had expected. It also took them three weeks to cash my check, which is a major pain in the ass. read more

I purchased a groupon for Revolutions Cleaning. Initially, I had a difficult problem contacting the cleaning agency. However, the owner called me and apologized for the phone problems. I scheduled a cleaning, and the two women that arrived were very nice. They really had a system to their work, and I was so surprised when I returned to find such an immaculately clean house. I have a long hair white cat, and his hair seems to go everywhere. The ladies had thoroughly cleaned the sofa, the rugs, the kitchen, the blinds, the microwave, and removed 90% of the cat hair! They did a great job, and the house smelled so clean. My kitchen floor shined, and the difference was incredible. I have contracted them for weekly cleanings, and I am very pleased with their work! read more

They did clean my home, however not as promised. They came and started to ask for more time and money to clean the house 3 times more than they initially quoted. One of workers also stopped working 10 minutes before the time is up and left a room not cleaned. read more

I bought a 3-hour groupon for window cleaning. They did an excellent job inside and out and were pleasant and professional. The one thing I would say is that they spent much more time on each window than I would expect. I've had my windows cleaned before and I think the other group was faster. However, the windows really sparkle and they even scraped stray paint specs that I wasn't even aware of. So I can recommend them, especially if you don't care about time and want an excellent job. Probably best to get a quote for the job versus paying them hourly. read more

They were terrific. The business is owned and consists of two young women originally from Brazil, who have had experience working for another cleaning service and are starting out on their own. Two of them came for the contracted hour and a half and worked very hard with sparkling results. They showed initiative, finding new areas to straighten or clean when finished with those that I requested. Work was efficiently divided so that they had no 'down time' unnecessarily talking to each other or on their phones. Being a new business, there are some organizational growing pains. They were late for the agreed on starting time and did not call until we contacted them. They asked for paper towels and used half a roll. It was not clear whether they would otherwise bring their own cleaning supplies, which they did. When we used other services in the past some did, some did not. Cleaning ceiling fans, they did not have a step stool which would have been safer than standing on a kitchen bar stool. I stood by to make sure she was safe. Easy corrections: everybody runs late time to time, call if it occurs; clearly state what supplies the owner has to provide; buy a 20 dollar step stool at Home Depot; buy a long handled L shaped duster for high spots. Overall these women represented that which is great about immigrants to the US. They work hard, do a good job, show initiative, try to improve themselves and are willing to take a risk to start a new business. Laszlo read more

They scratched my floor during a careless and disappointing cleaning. The scratches are about 2.5 feet long in the middle of my bedroom from moving my bassinet. They left all if my furniture moved after the cleaning. The cleaning was rescheduled from the original appointment two hours before they were supposed to show up. Frustrating but not as frustrating as the month and a half i have been dealing with this scratch. They owner was nice and prompt when I called about the scratch although the initial complaint to the cleaner during the cleaning went ignored. The owner tried to fix it with a pen for wood scratches. It left more marks around the scratch. Since then, he no showed once, didn't call me when he said he would and has not returned my calls. I would not recommend this company at all. read more

This company is the worst. I got a coupon on groupon, and before I purchased the coupon I called and asked question, like I have a 3 bedroom empty aparment that needs to be clean is 2 hours enough time. The guy said yes no problem. Two ladies came to clean the house. They came in and asked if I have cleaning product? I said no the apartment is empty, nobody told me anything about cleaning supplies. She said your suppose to pay $15.. She didn't end up charging me anything for cleaning supplies. Then I told her I need the bathroom clean, kitchen, and floors. They only stayed for 1 hr and nothing was cleaned.. The bathroom tub was still dirty and they didn't vaccum all the rooms, and in the kitchen they didn't clean the oven or the fridgerator. Only only spent $45 but nothing was done so it was like I just threw that money away. After they left I had to clean the house myself... Saving time not.... They have 2 offices one in boston and in the cambridge area. Never again read more
