Highly recommend Tough Enough Cleaning. They saved my bacon when I needed a last minute clean and everyone was telling me they couldn't do it for a week or more. Kat spent more time on the call getting to know more about my problem and asked questions that led to the possibility of splitting the clean over 2 days. Her creative thinking was very appreciated. They gave me a reasonable bid and did a wonderful job cleaning. I will continue to use Tough Enough Cleaning in the future, but next time I'll give them more heads up read more

My kitchen cabinets were in dire need of a deep cleaning. And I didn't know where to turn in the process of coming up with a professional, friendly cleaning service. From Yelp, I found Tough Enough Cleaning Service. So HAPPY I did! A price was given, appt time set (and reminders were sent , which were appreciated) and a few days later Kat showed up and kicked butt on my dirty cabinets. She made them look new again (they're 23yrs old!). She could not have been kinder or more professional. Very impressed with the way she runs her company and I will recommend her to anyone I know, who's in need of any cleaning job! Great job Kat, thanks! read more

I work at Apple myself, and the highest paid person in the store doesn't make the $180/hour these people wanted to do a move out cleaning. Keep in mind, this was for 1, or 2 people max. We were originally going to go with this company to do our move out cleaning until we realized the amount we are paying was for only 2 hours of work. All of the other places we hit up were telling us our house needed 4-6 hours of work - for this price ($360). Many of those companies also were sending out more than just 2 people to do the cleaning. I'm not quite sure why it is that other companies need more than 2 people to do the work for 4+ hours, when this individual company thinks they are able to do it in 2 hours with 1-2 people. I hold my thoughts and suspicions on quality based on this point. What was really annoying was how they wanted to throw the credit card transaction processing fee onto us because THEY only took credit/debit card. No cash, no check, no money order, no arm, no leg, nothing. Just. Card. So then the question becomes... if you set a policy like that, why do you think it's alright to have your customer pay that fee? She even had the bravery and courage to sucker enough confidence to try and tell us that convenience fee can be charged twice if we don't pay the full amount in one shot. What a joke this company is. Don't recommend, and seriously, why are they on the front cover of Yelp? Listen to other people who have had a bad experiences with them... you won't regret it if you ask me. read more

My roommates and I had an absolutely terrible experience with these cleaners. They cleaned our apartment for our move-out and the next morning we contacted them because it was not thorough. Floors were nearly unvaccuumed, kitchen sink was spotty, windowsills were dusty. They responded essentially saying that the job they did was good enough because they were there for the allotted time. Two weeks later our landlord says he must take money from our security deposit because the cleaning was not up to par. We contacted TEC once again and they told us that the 24 hour re clean policy had passed (even though we told them they didn't do a good enough job within 24 hours) and we would have to pay in full to have them come back and clean. Our landlord informed us that when this happens, most other cleaning companies will stand by their work and come back for touch ups. Not TEC. Not only was the cleaning very mediocre, but they were difficult to deal with and are not friendly. Will never use them again and don't recommend any of you do either. read more

Horrible service from start to finish. Unprofessional the whole time. Horrible first cleaning where the owner admitted the cleaner didn't clean my house. Took a week to schedule recleaning. Missed her initial walk through without even a call. Choose someone else! read more

They came out once and did a good cleaning. They were scheduled every other Wed. They had a health issue the second time they were supposed to come and rescheduled for the following week. They never showed. I gave then one more try, they didn't show again. Not reliable at all! read more

DO NOT USE THIS CLEANING COMPANY. From the looks of it they either have fake reviews, biased reviews or are just a hit or miss company. Either way not worth the risk the money or the time. As others have said we were treated extremely unprofessionally from the start with the worker being hours late. That's just the start of it, besides the job being subpar we were also treated extremely poorly. The person on the phone when contacted about the subpar job was quick to start yelling and ended up hanging up on us. They still want to charge us for a job that was almost unnoticeable to how it was before. IMO if you feel like you or anyone could of done a better job in the time given (a lot of time) then find another company. Save your time and money and find another company!! read more

Let me first start off by saying that I never write Yelp reviews unless they are for a very good reason, and boy must I say, this place is one of them - and not for a good reason. This place is down the drain horrible in my opinion, and I'm shocked they have 4-stars on Yelp. They do not deserve it in my opinion, and really need to get themselves together - especially after they claim to have been in the industry for 8-years. I really have my suspicions on this. Here's why... We, roommates, wanted to have someone come clean our living space as everyone is leaving and we wanted to save the effort to do the work. We called up a bunch of places, this being one of them, for a quote. They quoted us initially $360, which was about the range as everyone else we called. Little did we know, when we asked how long they would do work for, we were told 2 hours, and only be sent a maximum of 2 people. Wow, I might just quit college myself and get in this industry with profit levels this high! Unbelievable! The best part, apparently everywhere we shop charges us a credit card transaction fee. Big LOL. When's the last time you saw 'credit card transaction fee' on your receipt for a $360 purchase? On my gosh this place is just 1-star all the way. I can definitely see where the 1-stars came from. You are definitely better off trying to find another place if you ask me. I'm assuming you all want REPUTABLE companies doing your cleaning, in my opinion, this place really isn't that. read more

I've been using Tough Enough Cleaning for the past three months and I have to say that I have been very impressed with their work. Good prices and great service, what more could you ask for? I feel better knowing that my home is in good hands with them. read more

I have never given a company a bad review before, but I requested a quote for a housecleaning two different times, and on both occasions no one from Tough Enough Cleaners met me for the appointment. To be forgotten not only once, but twice was extremely unprofessional. I understand that challenges arise when managing a business, but if its workers are too busy to make an appointment, I should have been given a call with an explanation or reschedule - I was given neither. So while I cannot attest to the quality of cleaning from this company, I will just cite my personal experience with their administrative side. read more

I used them to clean a house we newly moved into. The team worked hard and efficiently and did a great job overall.

I don't usually write reviews unless it was outstanding or I had a really bad experience. Well.....Too bad I was so disappointed with Tough Enough Cleaning. As promised, Kat came to my home and gave me a quote for a deep cleaning, which I agreed to. A date was set and her helper came by herself and cleaned for 6 hours. Kat called me about an hour (or less) and wanted to know how everything went. I hadn't had much time to look around, so I said it was okay, but a few things missed. She offered to have Amanda come back, but I said no. After having more time to check out the cleaning, I discovered many things not done as Kat had quoted when she first came over. So, a few days later I wrote a list of items not taken care of and sent her an e-mail. Her response-I previously asked you if you wanted her to come back, you didn't. (I had not had time to inspect my house yet). I am unable to rectify that matter. What?? How unprofessional and not at all concerned for the customer. I paid a lot of money to get a deep cleaning, did not get a complete cleaning according to the price she quoted. I don't understand her policies or lack of concern. I told her I was disappointed and asked her to reconsider. No response!!!! read more

You won't regret it. We had a miscommunication with the first cleaning date, and the start time of the 2nd, but despite those minimal hiccups, I'm really happy I went with Tough Enough after numerous quotes. After her co worker was done for the day, Katherene stayed later than I'm sure she wanted to to make sure our house was cleaned per the proposal. We have our house professionally cleaned only 1-2 a year and it's a lot for us to budget for - but now seeing the work, and the work ethic of the woman at the helm, we'll likely do more now having found Tough Enough. They did a great job. read more

Did a move out cleaning for us. Responded quickly and was available when we needed them. We will definitely use Kat and her team again in the future. Yeah read more

Yo! In my opinion... DO NOT PICK THESE PEOPLE FOR ANY SERVICE. They overcharge, and they really lack a lot of experience in the industry if you ask me. They wanted to pass the credit card transaction fee onto us despite our total coming up to $360. Did I mention that this amount was the result of having a move-out cleaning at a fairly clean hour for about 2 hours with one or two people? I understand it's hard work you guys do, but to charge $180/hour for this type of labor is seriously overcharged. The person who was on the phone even said 'this is how I've been running my business for 8-years.' The audacity! I'm genuinely shocked that this company comes up on the first page of Yelp??? In my opinion, they belong on page 27 or something far far kept away from innocent people looking for a house cleaning. Wow, they even went ahead and said they are different from other companies, and they are reputable. Yeah, biggest joke of 2020. In my opinion, this is nowhere near the truth, and is well exaggerated. Do yourself a favor and choose another REPUTABLE company. Many places we've called stated that they would be there for a MINIMUM of 4 hours to thoroughly clean the house. I really question how they are able to clean the house in two hours. You've been warned, this place is not the place to go! read more

So unprofessional. How can you tell someone at the "end" of a job that you be charging them 60% more than you quoted? The kitchen counters were not even wiped down completely. The bathrooms seem like they were quickly wiped with a paper town and that was it. The showers were not completely wiped down and none of the floors were even done. I almost forgot to mention she pulled down on the light fixture (which was left tilted) and chipped the paint underneath. My 14 year old daughter asked if they cleaned anything besides the toilet in her bathroom. Apparently they did clean that well. The bathroom mats were left laying in the bedroom. I can not believe what a poor job was done. We have been living in this house for 3 months. All they were asked to clean was the kitchen and 2 1/2 baths. It took 6 hours for them to finish and nothing was done properly. They couldn't even put things back where they were before. We now have to clean it again and rearrange everything back to normal. The owner was horrible on the phone yelling that the job was done right and she can charge what she wants. HORRIBLE CLEANING SERVICES (If you can call it that). read more

My Mom's house needed a thorough cleaning and Tough Enough went above and beyond to deep clean the whole house, including showers that seemed hopeless with mineral stains. It's like a new house! Highly recommend. read more

Wow, just got off the phone with the 'owner'. Usually don't like to be 'Karen', but man, in my opinion, this company sucks! Both times I called them, her kid was screaming their lungs off in the background. Fine, whatever, everyone is working at home - no problem. Understandable. She quoted me $360, for a house that is a little less than 1,000 sq ft. Expensive? Sure as heck! I asked how long, and how many people would be there to do the cleaning. (I was curious how long the person would be there to make more money than an anesthesiologist does per hour.) She told me it depends on the number of "technicians" sent out - either 1 or 2 "technicians". In other words, these "technicians" are getting $180/hour. In addition, the work time was only estimated to be 2 hours. Fine, extremely overpriced - but whatever, this cleaning is probably going to be a once in a lifetime thing for me. (For the record, ALL of the other places I asked for a quote stated they would be there cleaning for a MINIMUM of 4-6 hours) Alright - whatever. I agree to the $360 anyways, and it's time to figure out a payment method. Apparently, they do not take ANYTHING EXCEPT for credit card/debit card. Fine, pretty standard for booking a service like this over the phone. Guess what? That $360 doesn't include the fee the credit card company charges THEM to make a credit card transaction. (Remember, the credit card transaction processing company didn't FORCE them to set the policy for credit/debit card only - they did that to themselves) Why the hell would I, the consumer, be okay to take that cost for you? She even went as far as to say EVERYWHERE we go and use a credit card, the consumer pays the CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION FEE. This, to be fair, is more or less true. (Many times, this fee is implemented into the cost of the product.) I don't recall the exact shopping destination she stated, but it was along the lines of the following: she told me that if I go to, say, Wal-Mart to shop, I get charged a credit card transaction fee. Lady, when you go to majority of places to shop, you get charged the price of the item - and sales tax. Nowhere on the receipt does it say 'credit card transaction fee.' Same goes to many mom and pop shops I have visited. The only time I can potentially think of when it is socially acceptable for this to be OK to apply is when I try to buy a pack of gum (low cost item - around $5-10) from a mom and pop shop using a credit card, then they usually charge a quarter or so. I tried to ask if it was okay to not incur this additional cost as I truly felt like this is a cost they need to incur, and not the consumer, and I get hit with the 'well, my business is REPUTABLY different and this is how I've been running my business for 8 years.' Yeah, I'm actually still shocked you're in business. I did tell you I would reach out if we needed you, but uhm... yeah nope. What a joke this place is, don't recommend. In my opinion, this place should be the last page on Yelp recommended to people. Good luck competing with other REPUTABLE companies. read more

After getting a couple quotes I went with Kat for a monthly cleaning service, and she and/or her assistants have cleaned my house three times now. I've been satisfied and will continue with her service, it's very nice to not have to think about cleaning as much. read more

I recently needed to find a house cleaning service as I was going to be moving from my apartment. I did some research on Yelp and came across Tough Enough Cleaning. I noticed that their pictures showed samples of their completed work and thought it warranted a phone call to check about prices and time frames. I spoke with Katherine, the owner, and she answered every question I asked and was very honest with her answers. I was sold. I made an appointment and waited for the results. Katherine called me when she arrived, right when she said she would, and let me know that she would call me when everything was completed. A short time later she called to let me know everything was finished and let me know it was a pleasure to clean for me. She even sent me pictures! I was totally impressed with the incredible job she did. I never would have thought it could be so clean. I can not say it enough, anytime you have the need for a cleaning service you MUST give Tough Enough Cleaning a shot. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Katherine for doing such an amazing job!! read more

Just had a very enjoyable experience with tough enough cleaning! They were super responsive to my request and came out the very next day. Completed all the tasks I wanted. Very reasonably priced, very friendly women, and the place looks great! Thanks for your great service! read more

Katherene is amazing! Her initial inspection she was so professional and I was so impressed. Amanda is our regular cleaning lady and we did a deep cleaning first and then every 2 weeks she comes in. She is so sweet and she does an excellent job! Before TEC, I was so stressed out by the way my house looked because I work full time and am a full time student so cleaning can't be my priority. Now, thanks to TEC, my stress level is much lower and I don't feel frustrated at the way my house looks. Thanks Katherene and Amanda! read more

I thought my shower doors were frosted glass. Not after Katherene worked them. They're actually clear glass and she removed years of buildup. She cleaned with care and attention to detail. The inside of the oven is spotless. She was also available on short notice and called right away to go over the details of the cleaning. She asked questions about areas I hadn't thought of and cleaned everything we talked about. Highly recommended! read more

These ladies are awesome! They did a great job, even worked around my still moving out to get the job done! Very reasonable prices. Friendly owner and staff, but didn't let friendliness obscure the job, very professional, already gave the number to my dad. Kat is very clear on what is done for how much, very clear on times, very clear if a girl is going to be late. Her communication is on point. Her business is great, everyone e should use Tough Enough. This lady is boss. read more

I called Tough Enough Cleaning (Kat) to clean our 2BR/1Bath college apartment for move-out. Not only did she respond very quickly and schedule an appointment efficiently, she was also VERY understanding towards our very "soiled" apartment. She plus two ladies (3 total) spent over 4 hours deep cleaning the apartment and carpets according to our property manager's checklist. She was also very patient in understanding the importance of sticking to a college budget (although did come off a bit judgmental, but that's understandable). In total, it costed us $420 + tip. read more

We just called Tough Enough Cleaning for a move out cleaning of our 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment that was looking rough after 4 boys had lived there for two years. Their service was so good that I could hardly recognize the place when they were done, our kitchen and bathroom sinks, counters,cabinets, and floors were all completely spotless. Kat and her assistant were very friendly and professional. I would recommend Tough Enough Cleaning to anyone that needs a cleaning service and will be using them again in the future! read more

I was very pleased with Kat and her assistant. They were friendly and conscientious. There were just one small area missed and they quickly cleaned them. Did a good job on windows too. I would call on them again. read more

We had Tough Enough Cleaning do a move out cleaning for us. I was very impressed with everything about their service. The job was done beautifully and exceeded my expectations. I would certainly recommend them. read more

If I could give them no stars I would. Probably the most unprofessional experience I have had with a cleaning company or any company for that matter. Each appointment the owner showed up late to. Every time they came to clean it was not the time they said they would come or the day. When we came home after a "cleaning" we couldn't figure out what they had cleaned there was dust cobwebbed areas of the house that hadn't been cleaned toilets not cleaned showers not cleaned mirrors not cleaned. We paid extra to have our bedding made up but we came back to find beds not maid with pillows with no covers on them and sheets not tucked in bedding not maid up properly. When we called the owner she was out of state and said "if my employees won't come back there is nothing we can do". I would have almost given them a second chance if they would have tried to correct the mistakes made but stead when owner found out we weren't going to pay for the service her employees were suddenly unavailable to come and fix the mess that was made in our home. BEWARE OF THIS IS EXPERIENCE as me and my husband use this home as a vacation rental and I hate to see what shape it was in when we weren't home to check the cleaning ourselves. read more

She helped me with my disgusting shower. We had so much mold that it was embarrassing to even be around. Very professional and very thorough. She replies very quickly to messages and is very attentive. Would definitely recommend! read more

Extremely disappointing. Very very flakey & unprofessional. Not sure where all the great reviews came from.....friends maybe?? When the girls did briefly show up they did little more than talk among themselves. We were EXTREMELY angry & dissappointed. We ended up spending the $700.00 we had saved for housekeeping service & bought a ROOMBA 880.....well worth it & does way more in an hour than this so-called cleaning service will ever do. We highly recommend the ROOMBA! If any other professional cleaning services reads this & would like a client who is willing to pay top dollar for PROFESSIONAL services please contact me. read more

Seemed scattered and kept changing times and how many helpers she had. Finally just didn't show up day of cleaning. My house is not very dirty but I just needed some help due to time. Agreed to her 80.00 an hour and had cash in hand to be helpful. Oh well. read more

Kat and her team are fantastic. And I am so glad that I hired them to clean my house. She is well worth the money. She goes above and beyond to make sure that each time they clean my house it is pristine. Along with their fantastic cleaning, Kat is also a great communicator and always responds to emails or calls quickly. I couldnt be more satisfied, and I highly recommend her. read more

Had them come for a move in clean and they were fast and did a good job. I ended up making a mess of my own house and need to call again. Need that holiday clean. read more

I've been using Tough Enough Cleaning for the last 3 plus months for my vacation rental. Kat is outstanding. She is reliable, dependable, her work is amazing. My house sparkles and it's immaculate. I highly recommend Tough Enough Cleaning. Kat is remarkable and being a few hours away from her - has excellent communication skills. I always knows what is going on and trust her 100%! read more

Katherene has been cleaning our home for a couple of months now and I have been pleased. The first cleaning provided by her assistant was not as expected and many things were missed. Katherene ensured these things were resolved and the cleanings have been consistent and good ever since. Her communication is clear and the price is fair. As I am still a relatively new client with TEC, I will update as we go along. Good investment though into piece of mind and a clean home! read more

If you expect great service, contact Tough Enough Cleaning! Catherine, the owner, provides prompt service, reasonable rates, and professionalism. I would highly recommend her company. In addition, I required a refund and it was provided in a timely manner. Thank you Tough Enough Cleaning! read more

My wife has hired Kat and her team a handful of times now, and after every cleaning we both say how this is the cleanest our house has been. We've lived in a handful of different towns so have worked with a number of cleaners, and this is by far the best company we've ever worked with. Kat the owner is responsive, transparent and honest, not to mention very thorough in her cleaning - which is very important to us since we have a young child who manages to somehow fling food into all crevices of the house. We without hesitation would recommend Kat and Tough Enough Cleaning. Big fans. read more

I just recently took back managing a family owned beach vacation home and one of my biggest concerns is finding a reliable house cleaner that I can depend on and trust. Tough Enough Cleaning, Kat Gatts is taking my worries away. When having guests that pays to stay in the house everything needs to be in pristine order and she does that. She is my eyes when something is wrong and notifies me since I live out of town the perfect example is with the recent heavy rain there was a leak from the deck into a bedroom window. I can't afford to have a tenant check-in and find there is a problem so by Kat calling me we had time to get over here to take care of the leak. Another owner used the house last weekend and they said the house was cleaned to perfection. Owners can be critical so this was a good comment. read more
