House-cleaning suggestions?

[rikchik.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a service to do monthly house-cleaning. I've already tried services that either don't read important instructions, or can't reliably show up or keep track of my house key. Anyone using a company they'd recommend?

I've tagged this, so you may want to check earlier posts. (Though it's been a while since the last relevant post.)

I highly recommend Spotless New England! I got the tip from several Somerville-based friends and had them come do my place in East Boston. I'm so impressed, and they have, so far, been really reliable.

I use Erika Pettiford : http://cleaningsbyerika.com/faq/index.html
She's very good about following my instructions and has been quite reliable and reasonable. She's strictly cleaning though -- things are cleaned, not straightened. I prefer this, as it took me for ever to find things after my last service, and I don't feel the need to have my bath towels arranged nicely and toilet paper folded over.

We've been using Silva (http://www.silvacleaningservice.com/) for a few months now and like them.

My friend Mike Walz has a cleaning business that I'd recommend: http://walzcleaning.com/

He's based in the Davis area and cleans like whoa. He's the reason I got my entire security deposit back from my last landlord. I believe he's accepting new clients.

I've been using Fab's Cleaning for nearly a year, and they've been very good. They straighten, clean, and even do dishes and such. One caveat is that I'm always home while they clean, so I can't vouch for how they do while nobody's here.

I highly recommend Sebastian and his wife from http://www.sccleaning.net/ who have been cleaning my place every month for a year. They spent an entire day the first time they came, and only charged for 4 hours, and have kept my place looking great ever since. I found out about them from this LJ.

I use Smile Cleaning service which has been recommended here before, and have been happy with their service for a couple years or more.

Recommend Silva Cleaning

I second the recommendation for Silva Cleaning. They're reliable, friendly and do a great job. We have used them for a year and a half now and have never had any problems with them.
