Amount: $100.00 per cleaning Use Maid to Perfection

Firm: Maid to Perfection
After living in our home for about a year, we decided to try a cleaning service. We got a few estimates and one firm told us our house was too messy to be their clients! We decided on Maid to Perfection, and, for a while we were considering trying a different cleaner, but they've gotten better and now we're very happy. They dust, clean/mop/vacuum floors, and damp mop the hardwood floors. They're also good with sinks, counters, microwaves, bathrooms, showers, etc. The cleaning has gotten better over time, in part, I think, because we're getting better at asking for what we want. We buy a special hardwood floor cleaner at the store and ask them to use them on the wood floors instead of just water, and that makes the floors shine. We also get out of their way better (doing errands). They charge us $100 for an occasional cleaning (every 1-6 months), but the price drops to around $85 if we get regular cleaning (like every 2-3 weeks).
