House cleaner suggestions?

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen a thread with actual recommendations on house cleaners recently. I'm considering setting up something bi-weekly, but want someone reliable.

I was wondering if anyone had any new experiences or new suggestions.

Currently, I'm considering http://www.silvacleaningservice.com/contact.html and http://walzcleaning.com/ from a previous entry. Other suggestions from that thread appear to have disappeared, so I figure people may have new suggestions as well.

We recently switched to Lucia's Green Cleaning (http://luciasgreencleaning.com/). We like them a lot better than the big service we were using before (MaidPro) and they do a much more thorough job!

My wife does timetrade and cleans people's houses sometimes.

I see the Merry Maids vehicle trundle through Davis occasionally, but I don't know how their service is.

Alda DaSilva (formerly Alda Gutierrez) is still great after all these years -- http://www.angieslist.com/companylist/us/ma/somerville/smile-cleaning-service-reviews-2266394.htm

I always e-mail her at aldahgutierrez at aol.com

Michael from Walz Cleaning has been keeping me from wallowing in my own filth for about two years, and I'm happy with his service. He's had to cancel a few times because of illness, since it's a one-man shop, but is communicative about it.

We use Silva and are quite happy with them. We had to give them written instructions at first (we have cats, thus some doors need to open so they can get to water and cat box) but they pretty quickly figured out what to do and what not to do. They claim to use all organic products; I can't verify this b/c I've never been home when they're cleaning, but the house doesn't reek of chemicals when we come home.

We've used Silva for a couple of years - they're great - no complaints.

I'll just say again that you can't go wrong with Mike Walz. He really is great at what he does.

I'm not sure if anyone is actually reading this anymore, but I tried to get in touch with Mike Walz, and he basically responds to one in three emails, it's very difficult.

I recommend Helena's cleaning service: 617-852-2189
Very humble san salvadorian family that lives in Somerville and her cleaning is very thorough (meaning she takes her time) and rates are very reasonable.

I recommend Shalom Cleaning Services. They come to our place in Porter Square every other week and most of our neighbors are using them now too. They offer laundry services and also do commercial work. You can contact the owner Freddy Sanabria at 617-959-6288 or mazariego23 at hotmail dot com.

Recommend Quality Housecleaning service, who've been helping me for about ten years.

Shirley and Leo own and are pleasant people; Leila and Racquel clean and are thoughtful, thorough and very kind to the (skittish) cat.
