They did a great job deep cleaning my kitchen and bathrooms, would definitely hire again!

Ruths House Cleaning Services answered a Yelp-driven inquiry promptly. I needed a bathroom / kitchen cleaning and they also dusted the living room but no vacuuming was needed. They quoted a price but lowered it once I texted photos showing that the master bath is small. They arrived within a few minutes of the time agreed to and worked efficiently thereafter. I was very satisfied with the work, which included the refrigerator interior. I thought the charge fair, especially considering it was a one-off request and not a regular service. read more

Hired them for a move out cleaning. They showed up on time and finished in just an hour and a half. Seemed short but they got everything. Extremely efficient and hard working. This is my second time using them and I highly recommend them. read more

-Oven stinks like chemicals, they didn't even scrub it just sprayed and wiped it out. Left cleaning products in oven so when i tried to use it, it filled the whole house with a chemical smell (I'm 8 months pregnant so it made me extremely nauseous) -must have only used a swiffer to "mop" the floors, because there's no way the floors should be this dirty if it was moped with an actually mop, water and product. The floors were dirty upon move in, wiped floor and it came up black, tested several spots throughout the house. He said he used pine sol but the house didn't smell anything like pinesol. -there was still dust all in the bathrooms top of shower, mirrors, and behind toilet. -scrubbed sink but didn't clean the black sink guard, still full of old food and mold -they did a good job on the baseboards and windows. -paid $400 for a deep clean on an emptied out house, it needed a deep clean but no "deep" thorough cleaning was done. -bombarded me to write a review a couple times the day they finished even though I didn't move in for a couple more days to review them. I told them I'd review once I got to the house and inspected it. I'm glad I waited because this was honestly unacceptable and I could have done a better job while 8 months pregnant. So now I'm out $400, and still have to deep clean everything myself. We talked to the owner who was incredibly rude, and offered to return Monday to re "mop" the floors. The only problem is now I have boxes everywhere since I just moved in and it doesn't make sense to mop all of 8 feet of floor that's visible for now. I asked for a $100 refund of the $400 because the floors were not done (and let's be honest, barely anything else was done either) and he refused and only offered to come back Monday. I kept telling him it's impossible at this point, he kept asking how he can make it right and wouldn't give a 1/4 refund. This was honestly just a terrible experience and I highly don't recommend this company. read more

I just had my house cleaned by Ruth's Housecleaning Services. They did an outstanding job! My home looks brand new. Their quality is so much better than other house cleaners we have had. I hired them to come on a regular basis! I highly recommend them. Try them out. You, too, will be impressed. I just had my house cleaned by Ruth's Housecleaning Services. They did an outstanding job!

Without even seeing my home,quoted $300. This is a single level home where one person lives. Not cluttered. The house cleaning services here quote absurd prices. Don't fall for the initial deep clean at twice the price. Scam. It takes2 hours to completely clean my home. Lighthouse cleaning. Absurd. read more

Ruth and Mike are wonderful. They've been cleaning our home monthly/bi-weekly for the past few years, and are efficient, thorough and friendly. We always love how our place feels after they clean. read more

I wrote my first review for Ruth in May 2023. We have multiple rental properties in the San Diego area and my first text every time for a move-out deep clean is Ruth. She always does a great job and sends pictures once she is complete as I do not go on-site to meet her prior to or after the job. She also sends reminders the day prior for you. She is easy to pay via Venmo. Really, she has been great in all aspects and I use her multiple times per year. Thank you Ruth for your continued support to us. read more

Great business for deep house cleaning! Quick response and easy scheduling of appointment. Great communication throughout the experiene. Day of the cleaning Ruth and her team showed up and got right to work. They deep cleaned the house, cutting through a year of neglect, helping our family get back on track for summer. They went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend them for a one- time deep clean. We will definitely be calling them back in the future! They also offer recurring cleaning services, which I will review if we go that route, but I imagine they do an awesome job! read more

Ruth and her husband do an excellent job. They are on time, trustworthy and notice the little things that need cleaning. I have them once a month and they let me pick when I need them during the month which works perfectly for us. I highly recommend them! A bonus- they like dogs! read more

I had the pleasure of speaking to Mike, who was more than kind and patient. He and his wife Ruth always make sure you're well taken care of and that your home is fresh and clean thank you jewels read more

Amazing, the cleaners were able to turn over my Airbnb. Clean and changed all the sheets and towel. She even make the pillows on my couch pretty. Will definitely use again. Very easy to communicate with and very responsive. We were out of town so it was great to have taken great care of our place and that we can trust. Thank you again for everything read more

I am very pleased! Ruth was very responsive and quick to fit my family and I in. They came prepared, completed a thorough clean, and had me complete a walk through before they left. They worked hard on our bathrooms and kitchen. I will call them again in the future. read more

Before Ruth's house cleaning service (later on Ruth's for short), we hired a cleaning service. They did a really great job. Unfortunately, they moved, so I and my family decided to find another local cleaning service. After researching, based on highly rated reviews on Yelp and Google, we considered Ruth's house cleaning service. Our house has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a dog. When a cleaning team comes and works, our dog would stay outside, on the patio., the entire time. Ruth's and I had been communicating through text messenger. Starting the conversation, I informed Ruth's that I wanted monthly cleaning service. During the inquiry process, Ruth's was very responsive and professional. All my questions were answered quickly and clearly. After getting all information, I scheduled the initial deep clean with Ruth's on November 7th 2020 at 10:00 am. Also, before scheduling the initial deep clean, I asked Ruth's: Can you suggest a list of needed cleaning solutions that I can buy? Ruth's said: We provide cleaning supplies. You don't need to. I said: Ok. When I said "OK", I assumed they brought their own cleaning supplies (including equipment and solutions). On the cleaning day (November 7th), they came to house on time. There were 3 persons for our 1st deep cleaning: 1 male and 2 females. When inside our house, the man came to me and asked: Where did you put your cleaning supplies? I was surprised, but still showed him what we had in the house (Windex for glass only, Bleach, Pine Sol, Kitchen 409 cleaner, Disinfectant wipes, bathroom scrubber/foam, Lysol toilet bowl cleaner, a vacuum, a spray mop, towels, microfiber cloths, duster and others). It ends up that they used mostly ours for the cleaning. I really didn't have a problem with that, except that some of our bottles were running low or very low. If they told me earlier that they would use ours, I would restock before they come. Before they began, I asked the man: Do you have a check-list? He said: No, we don't. We know what we do, we don't need a check-list. I, in my head: Ok. When I contacted Ruth's Service, and asked about check-list, Ruth's said "YES, WE DO" They started to clean. They finished faster than I thought. Cleaning quality: 3/5 overall, compared to the previous cleaning team (4/5). However, Ruth's team re-did at couple tasks when I requested. After they re-did, overall quality at this point was from 3/5 to 4/5. When everything was done and before they left, I and my husband asked the man: We want to schedule monthly. How can we do that? He said: We have your information. Ruth's team will text you to remind and schedule for a date for that month. I and husband: Ok. That is great. Then, my husband wrote a check to pay. After the initial deep clean, we expected to get a message/reminder for scheduling December cleaning from them, but there was none. Therefore, I asked Ruth's for a date in December on December 9th, no response. I asked again on December 11th, Ruth's said that she/he would check calendar and get back. December 12th, I asked again, and Ruth's said that she/he had not checked their calendar yet. December 14th, I asked again. and Ruth's said that there was NO available date for December. WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I ASKED ABOUT MONTHLY SERVICE? I tried to be understanding, so I said to myself: "Okie. COVID-19 and holiday season, they're busy, so they forget to mention. Only 1 month skipped. Good thing that our family always keeps the house as clean as possible. No biggie." On December 28th 2020, I asked Ruth's an available date in January for monthly cleaning, also reminded her/his team that they skipped December service. Ruth's replied that NO AVAILABLE for JANUARY. I WAS SPEECHLESS. As a result, I have to find another cleaning company for monthly cleaning and make sure they have available times for my house. Also, if I decide to go with another cleaning company, I must pay for an initial deep clean AGAIN. My suggestion: If you are a new customer and looking for MONTHLY CLEANING SERVICE, please be aware. If you only want an occasional cleaning service, and Ruth's is available, you can choose Ruth's. Ruth's House Cleaning Service, thank you for your service. read more

Thanks Ruth and Mike for being on time AND doing a great job of preparing my rental for my new tenants. You took my "punch list" and completed everything plus some. I appreciate your initiative, follow through and communication from start to finish. I will call you for my next job. read more

Still my go to cleaners after ten years! As a real estate professional I've come to truly rely on Ruth whenever I or a client needs cleaning work. Reliable, fair pricing, and they do good work. You can request a regular, quick touch up or they can do post construction deep cleaning ... Whatever you need, they are very accommodating. read more

Ruth and her husband do a great job! She's always very responsive and easy to get a hold of. She always confirms the day before cleaning. They are efficient and always on time! I had them do a deep clean first and now have them continue to clean every other week. read more

12 + years going strong with Ruths house cleaning! Ruth's experienced team has been helping me with my Airbnbs as well as short and long term student housing business. Highly recommended! read more

We have been using Ruth's team on a bi-weekly basis for almost two years now. They are communicative, wonderful to work with, and do a great job. My wife says the same thing every time she gets home after they come clean. "I love those people!" They pride themselves on their work and have been happy to help me with an additional request (i.e., cleaning the fridge) or when I have to reschedule due to a sick child. Absolutely recommend. read more

Had an excellent experience with Ruth's cleaning services. Very polite and on time. Very thorough and left the place spotless.

Great service all around! Very responsive and did a great job on the move-out/ move-in cleaning for our rental.

Updated review: over a year later, we are still using Mike & Ruth every 3 weeks to clean our home. We appreciate their reliability and communication. My shower doors sparkle when they're finished. They listen to our needs and don't bat an eye when my Type A self leaves requests via a note Thanks so much for your hard work, we appreciate you! read more

Call them, they do a good job and the price was reasonable. read more

Ruth and Mike are a very professional, they showed up on time, and their rates are fair, especially for the exceptional work that they do. We have a four bedroom house with a loft, approximately 1700 ft. We ordered their move out cleaning service. We were amazed on thoroughness of their cleaning services as well as their attention to detail. They even removed some stuff that we missed under the cabinets, behind the refrigerator and behind the TV. Do not hesitate to call this couple for your house cleaning needs. read more

Today was our first time getting our house cleaned and we are beyond impressed with this service. Our house is SPOTLESS from top to bottom and they truly went the extra mile in every way possible.

I waited several days, but they never responded to my phone message so I selected another vendor.

I saw the good yelp reviews for Ruth's and called them up to schedule a move-out cleaning. I called May 22nd and left a message stating that I needed an appointment for June 4th or 5th. The company responded via text and offered other dates - I said I needed those dates (lease ending, carpet cleaning, work commitments) and the company representative stated they could make it work. We agreed on 5 June 2020 at 1:30pm. Fast forward to 5 June - I've been moving boxes at night while working full days and I'm stressed. I text Ruth's House Cleaning Services to confirm that they will be there at 1:30 and to confirm check amount. No response. I can see that they've read the text around 8:30 am but no response. I figure if they weren't going to make it, they'd respond. Lol. I'm at work and it's 2:19. My family member who was waiting at the property to let them in calls and says no one is there. I call their company. No answer. I leave a message. I also sent a message through yelp to contact the company. At 2:31 I get a call back. The man asks if I made an appointment with the right company because he didn't have anyone on the schedule. I informed him that I had made an appointment by calling the number on their Yelp page and that I was supposed to pay via check to Ruth [surname]. Then, apparently, the man remembers that he entered the appointment for tomorrow 6 June at 10. Then he apologizes for scheduling the wrong day and time and takes full responsibility and asks what he can do to make things right. But he can't send anyone to clean because they're somewhere else and they only have two crews and dot dot dot. At this point, I'm just hearing excuses. He says he can recommend someone who might be able to show up but he's not sure, but he wants to make it right. Not sure what taking full responsibility entails when I'm not a tight schedule and need to turn over the keys for this rental. Unless he can send out someone ASAP, I'm not sure how he can make anything right. I ended up hanging up on him because I needed to start calling other places to try and get a last minute move out clean. About 10 minutes ago, I get an email from yelp - apparently Ruth has responded to my inquiry with "unable to service." WOW, YOU DON'T SAY?! So yeah, I am beyond annoyed. If I could give zero stars, I would. I know mixups happen but they could have responded HOURS earlier so I could make other arrangements. Totally unprofessional. read more

THEY DESERVE 20 STARS!!!! Had the absolute BEST experience this week - they are extremely prompt in replying and scheduling, they were ready and waiting for our appointment (which I super appreciated as I was on my lunch break), and then I came home to an absolutely SPARKLING home, top to bottom. Ruth and Mike are very warm people, I immediately felt comfortable with them in my space. I was mainly requesting their help on my floors and bathroom, however, they went incredibly above and beyond. WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND!! For example, I had been looking into replacing my kitchen sink and glass shower doors (I've tried everything!!), however after Ruth and Mike's magic, they are more beautiful then when I moved in. They took no short cuts - my kitchen looks amazing, so kind of them to dust every surface in my living room and bedroom, even the floors behind my furniture are gleaming. I cannot thank them enough for their help and beautiful work, will definitely be calling them again. I'm enjoying the view out of my clean patio windows right now as I type!! haha :) Thank you so much, Ruth and Mike!! read more

Wonderful service I received for a move out cleaning. They were on time and did a wonderful job and left it looking great. Thank you guys!

Update (January 2019): We continue to recommend this team to anyone in need of professional, efficient, and friendly housecleaning services. With a newborn at home, it's such a relief to have them take care of the deep cleaning on a monthly basis. Without fail, they knock out half of my to-do list of tasks I would not expect them to address each time they're here. I'm so grateful that we found them! August 2018: We had our move-in cleaning for our new home today, and we're so pleased with the results that we scheduled for monthly services with them within a half hour after they left. Ruth and Mike work very efficiently and they let us know of any minor move-in damages they found along the way so we could add them to our shopping list. I especially love that they are a local husband and wife team! read more
