Last year, Michael came to clean my place several times, and he did an excellent job! Well, this year he is back, and besides his usual excellent work, he is friendly and willing to go the extra mile when it comes to cleaning a place properly. It is reassuring that someone like Michael comes to clean one’s place. So I highly recommend him for these tasks: cleaning, dusting, and rearranging things at home. He always has great suggestions! Thanks, Michael.

Michael did an excellent job - went above and beyond and cleaned areas and surfaces most cleaners don't even think about. He was also very polite, gracious, and more than happy to accommodate no matter the task. I would absolutely recommend him! 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

“Rachael is absolutely FANTASTIC and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She is incredibly thorough, every surface, every corner, nothing gets missed. Our home always looks and feels completely transformed after she's been in. Beyond the quality of her work, Rachael is reliable, punctual, and so easy to communicate with. She's trustworthy and we feel completely comfortable having her in our home. She genuinely goes above and beyond every single time, and it's clear she takes real pride in what she does :) If you're lucky enough to have Rachael assigned to your clean, you're in very good hands!.”
